Which day/days is the fresh produce stocked in the stores. Where would one go to stock up on Sunday, we arrive at 2:45
then get car (AAA),check in (Summit) go to store. Looking for fresh and best prices. Thanks

Not sure about when the produce comes in. On Sunday at that time, the Grand Marches will all be closed. Market Garden (corner of Billy Folly Road) will be open, as well as the Maho Market, which would be the closest grocery store to Summit, probably. However, I have not been particularly impressed with the Maho Market, as far as freshness, etc. If it were me, I would probably go to Market Garden. Or, get a few first day items from Jeannie at ShopnDrop, and then go make a big grocery run on Monday.

Thanks on Monday should we go to Market Garden or one the Grand Marches, don't mind driving for the best stuff.

I was told by an employee at Market Garden that most produce is flown in and stocked on Tuesdays.

I would head to the Gourmet Marche right there in Cupecoy. Or to the Grand Marche at Cole Bay. Personally I much prefer the Grand Marches to the Market Garden, for prices and selection and sales on wine.

Cole Bay GM is great for sales....they had 12 pks of Carib on sale for US $7.84..good selection of other foreign beers and a very good wine section

Were those the small or regular size bottles?

They were the regular 33cl but they were cans....but for that price I had to get some
