Beef is considered sub-standard when compared with cuts offered in other countries. Good beef comes from aging for a couple of weeks in the cooler. Those in the beef business don t want to loose this shrinkage , and so normally, the beef you buy here is not as tender or flavorful as it could be. Prices are reasonable, and quality is consistently good. But don t be surprised if you see some Bud in the shop ping cart ahead of you.
Packaging is generally in smaller sizes.
The trend however, is to offer products in larger containers. Currently, the savings normally associated with purchasing larger sizes is not uniformly present in Venezuela. Chinese knockoffs are everywhere. Most China products are shipped to Panama, and from there to the rest of South and Central America. For those who demand custom made clothing, the prices here are very reasonable.
