The exchange rate right now is 33.4. it vary with everyday. With a dollar you can buy a coke 20 ozs., a baguette, a coffe, pay peaje, a pineapple, avocado, chips, water, (most of these goods are less than a dollar depends where you buy it)local food it is from 3US$ to 5US$., Eating red snapper, sea bass or shrimp from 12US$ to 18US$.
Local food is cheap. import goods $$. gas it is about 5US$, a lit. of milk cost more than a dollar.

They won't make you a king here for a dollar nor can you get 33.85 for a dollar. Rate today is about 33.35.

They will give you more peso for the US dollar than a Canadian Dollar which is higher than the US dollar.

Things are expensive here now. 6 pack of domestic beer is about 270 pesos in a supermarket. Imported stuff is expensive. Haagen Daas pint is about 7 dollars. American Cheese is about 2 bux a pound.

Locally grown food is inexpensive. Chicken with small salad and rice and beans is about 3 dollars at a Dominican Restaurant. Beer in a Bar is about 2.75 dollars.

Transportation is cheap although gas is 5 bux a gallon.

Hope this helps! Never bought bread:)

Hi, to buy bread : 30 RDS for a pack of 12 pcs.
1 coca-cola (1/2liter) 12 rds
1 beer (small) 45 rds
So you have an idea of your "buying power".
