Reasonable prices

Bigmac $?

🤑

The shopping situation in Saurimo is generally affordable, but prices for imported goods can be quite high due to the country's reliance on oil exports. The recently stable exchange rate has made things slightly more favorable for tourists, but prices are still relatively high compared to neighboring countries.

Visit local markets for fresh produce and souvenirs, and negotiate prices before purchasing. Avoid imported products if possible.
