As to markets we've found none in Simpson Bay have the best prices. Last March we picked up the basics at the little market across from Royal Islander in Maho and their prices were less than Carrefore. 6 pack water $3.50, wedge of Gouda cheese 1.48, dozen jumbo eggs $2.50 , Milk 1.69, romaine 2.10 Ting1.50 per bottle, (got 6) one tomato .41 i bottle rum for total of $48.71

Later we went to Super U for the rest of groceries and they were by far the least expensive. Guadaloupe melon, 4pk yogurt, cheese: Fromage St Albray, 4 tangerines, 2 pears, 2 bananas, box raisin bran, quart milk, lettuce, tomato, salad dressing, small fruit tart, bottle Merlot, bottle Sancerre, bottle Cote Roses and i champagne for total $48.91 they gave 1 to 1 Euro to USD. If nothing else their wine selection is vast and inexpensive.
