I do not know if the Super U in Hope Estate is open yet. If so, go there. If not, the closest large grocery store would be the Super U in Marigot. You can also get supplies at Le Petit Casino in Orient Village. It's smaller than Super U and a bit more expensive, but closer to you in GC and on your way home, if you happening to be going to Orient for the day.
Super U or Petit Casino work wonderfully unless you are looking exclusively for US products. If so, you would be better off going to the Carrefour in Cole Bay, or the Grand Marche at the roundabout, close to Phillipsburg.
As far as currency, if you're talking about groceries only, I don't believe the Super U is doing 1 to 1 on the Euro any more. So it really doesn't matter what currency you pay in. Check in the store when you go in and if they are doing 1 for 1, it will be cash only, to get the 1 for 1. SOME restaurants will do 1 for 1 for cash, which does have a tendency to make you go through a bit of cash, for high end dining.

Thanks for the info on Super U in Hope Estate. Any idea why they are not working on it yet? Originally they said it was supposed to be back open by October..
