We found somethings cost less at Milka and some were less at Mayra. Couldn't predict. For meat we liked El Eden, more expensive but very nice steaks and fish.

You should also check out the fruit truck on Fridays at the intersection near the airport.

Fruit truck guy was one of the best purchases we made during our July stay. Everything is fresh,good tasting and great prices. He is super nice, simpatico! He was there mid week and told us he leaves as soon as he sells most of his goods. Great papaya and other local fruit. Que rico es lo de mi pais! Happy travels!

There is a relatively new grocery called "Genesis" (Is that right, my memory is still full of sand). At the intersection where the airport is, go east sort of....its about a mile. They had Diet Peach Snapple much to the joy of my wife.

Genesis (pronounced Henesis) is on the main road heading toward Zoni. There is only ONE hill on that road before the big turn - at the bottom of that hill is a street with the sign on it for the store. Turn left (coming from town) and go to the end of the street. It's very green, you can't miss it!
It's a great spot, open on Sundays later than any other store. No liquor or smokes but the essentials are all there (of course, for some and I wouldn't exclude myself, liquor and smokes ARE essentials but for that, late night, there is always La Cabana or Happy Landing).
A bit of a hike if you don't have a vehicle or a bike or scooter, but for those late Sunday afternoon *must have's* (and an easy stop if you are renting a place out toward Zoni) we're real glad it's there and getting better all the time.

They are also opened until 9 PM during the week. An added benefit when you miss the 6:30 or 7:00 closings of the other stores.
