How much do things cost in Tanzania?
A little goes a long way. Meals in an average restaurant cost about $2.00. Bottled sodas are the most expensive item at $1.00. Foreign goods are much more expensive than those made or grown locally. You can get a nice outfit from a tailor for about $12.00, including material. But remember, inflation is rampant. What may have been the price last month may no longer be accurate this month. Also, whenever Westerners show up, prices increase. Please feel free to negotiate, but remember that most of the vendors have little to nothing with which to support their families. Conclude the bargaining when you feel it is beneficial to BOTH parties.
