Just off the top of my head here are some things that you can buy here for less than $10: Note: (You will see the giant disparity between prices, as some of these things I buy in the tourist areas, and others off the beaten path. Also, you will see that most of the things that I buy revolve around food. Prices have already been converted from the Quetzal to the US Dollar using an approximate ratio of 8.25Q to $1US.)
