TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums US VI and Puerto Rico Current Grocery Status

Preparing for our November charter out of CYOA. What's the status of food and liquor in the stores? Shortages? Prices? Selection? Thanks

Thanks, I saw that article too.

I can't predict November inventory, but my wife just returned from a St. Thomas trip last week and mentioned that the several grocery stores she shopped at had the best selections and quantities that she'd seen in a long time. Kind of counterintuitive to the predictions of shortages, but there you go. I guess the boat came in.

Mid-week is the best time to hit the grocery stores. Stocks are lower on the weekends when turnover usually happens. We hit Cost U Less and The Market / Plaza Extra and get everything we need, with possible substitutions. Pueblo near Yacht Haven Grande is okay. Moe's is expensive, but has quality. Pueblo Sub-base near Crown Bay is our last choice of we have wheels, but they renovated the cold section it is a bit better. Friends have recently complained about not being able to get Presidente and Carib in cans.

Cheers, RickG

Thanks Rick and Tom. Appreciate the info.
