If you go to Grande Marche pricing is a little bit more than home but means less to carry. They hve everything you can buy at home.

Hope this helps

Bob,

We still bring our coffee and sugar down with us so that we don't have to worry about having it for morning should we arrive late but we get most of the rest of our stuff at Le Grande Marche or at Lido Express by the Royal Islander and have always felt the prices were more than reasonable given the convenience of not having to bring the items down with us.

Respectfully,

pat

We also purchase many of those items when we arrive. We do bring our own toiletries because it fits in our luggage but the prices are not much more than the US to purchase them when you arrive. As Pat said, we also bring some of those things that we won't need much of like sugar packets and mustard packets and are maybe needed as soon as we arrive for coffee in the room. The stores do sell small bottles of such things as ketchup, mayo,and mustard but they actually cost almost as much as the larger bottles... but for us it is worth it not having to lug our whole house down...LOL

Life is not a child's game of follow the Leader. Instead, life is more about finding one's own purpose in life....your life's plan, and then making a positive difference on earth.
