Hello,
we will be in the need of getting provisions for our sailboat for 2 weeks. Which is the best Super Market to do this? Is there a difference in pricing if I do it on the french or the dutch side?
Any hints apprechiated.
Best Christian

Cost U Less would be a very good option. Difference between the French side and Dutch side would be currency conversion

As previously mentioned, the Grande Marche is a good supermarket on the Dutch side and their wholesale branch is called Prime, located in Cole Bay. The Cost U Less is like a Sam's or COSTCO and is a good option for bulk buys. We still find the prices on the Dutch side to be a little better, just our opinion.

We used Jeannie with Shop N Drop Grocery (a TTOL sponsor). After looking at prices at Le Grand Marche when we stopped to pick up some wine, we felt the cost increment was minimal, and more than justified by the time savings - Jeannie had everything on board and in the cooler when we arrived.
