Fresh Foods, VI- Case of 24 12oz cans Heineken - $70.19
Fresh Foods VI - Case 24 12oz Carib Lager, cans - $63.69

Check similar item in the BVI.
Riteway Foods BVI Case of 24 12oz cans Heineken - $36.99
Riteway Foods BVI Case 24 12oz Carib Lager, cans - $40.85

Not sure this will carry across all items, but seems like a good "case" for pulling into Roadtown to pick up our provisioning.

I guess I'm not really following this. If you are willing to pull into Roadtown with the time and hassle that this entails why would you not just pull into a grocery store on St Thomas and pick up your provisions? Pueblo site indicates a 12 pack of Heineken is $17.28. And Carib 24pk is $20 ("large" cans? dunno). My point is that you seem to have artificially created a benefit to shopping at Riteway. I have never used Fresh Foods provisioning - ever. Given the price you show I suspect this is an outfit geared towards deeper pockets than mine.


Life's short - sail more!
