M.N., Cook Islands.

Greetings from a small island in the Cook islands. I am here for two years on a teaching contract, along with my husband and three year old son. We were oily raggers a bit before we came here, but now we are “devotees” through necessity. Where we live there is only a very limited, expensive range of groceries. Although we order groceries every few weeks from Rarotonga we have learnt to stretch our $ and “make do” on less. We are enjoying the savings.
