I have never been a fan of Market Garden. The best prices on island now I think are at Super U, which is in Marigot, where Match used to be, if you know where that was. Not sure what they are doing on an exchange rate now, as they are no longer doing 1 to 1 for the Euro, but overall, still the best prices on the island. However, if you need American products, they really don't have many of those. Otherwise, on the Dutch side, our favorites are Grand Marche by Mark's at the roundabout or the Carrefour in Cole Bay. The latter used to be a Grand Marche. It's just before the Ace Hardware. From Simpson Bay, pretty easy across the causeway and turn right, very close. The Grand Marche by Mark's is further but I like the store better. Unfortunately the Gourmet Grand Marche in Simpson Bay closed down, as I liked that store a lot. You have the Maho Market also, but the prices there are no better than Market Garden, and the selection there is often sparse. Parking is also usually a problem.
