I’ve blogged a few times about needing to shop around to optimize a budget. I’ve found that 2 local markets have really good prices on a variety of items. One is the Maho Market, across the street (at the roundabout) from Maho Beach. The other is pictured here. Found on Union Road, if you’re standing at Ace Hardware facing Union Road it will be on your left about 100 yards or so. You won’t be able to miss it. Recall, in most stores around the Dutch side of the island prices are in Guilders, including this market on Union. The dollar is very strong against the Guilder, right now, exchanging at 1.77 as of this publication. As with every market on the island, *always* check expiration dates on any food item you buy.
