Beverages: Beer is about 8 PEN, a glass of wine or a latte is around 9 PEN, bottled water costs 2 PEN, and cocktails range from 15-20 PEN. Many restaurants offer extended happy hour specials.

Groceries: For those cooking, expect to spend 60-80 PEN per week on staples like pasta, rice, seasonal produce, and some meat. Local markets are the best place for shopping, though Plaza Vea is a major grocery chain with reasonable prices.
