Hearing some horror stories of either odd substitutions for delivered provisions or lack of availability of basics or bare shelves. Any experiences with bringing in food/supplies? I am aware of the need to declare and (possibly) pay duties. We used to freeze meats, full lasagnas, and bring hard to find items all the time but a little concerned with my upcoming charter.

Also, will they string you up if you do your own shopping (Rite Way, Ticos, Bobby's) in RT so you are sure you get what you want? Are the shelves as bare as I've heard?

Thanks in advance!
