Getting married in 2 months on island. We have shipped some things ahead of time, but wondering if there are any stores that sell things in larger quantities? Wanted to fill some welcome bags, but did not want to buy everything piece mail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

We call it "Cost You More"! LOL Decent prices for the island, but not a great deal compared to the states!

...and that would be appropriate since that's where the purchases would be made. Both are good choices....

Take Cole Bay Rd. towards Marigot and when you come to the Harley Davidsons store take that left and it's in back....down that street on the right. It's on Orange Grove Road. And they're open Sundays @ 9 until 1pm.

There is no Cole Bay Road. If you are coming from the Pelican Key area, you go east on Welfare Road straight through the roundabout where it becomes Union Road. Continue on Union until you get to the gas station and the Harley Davidson on the left and take a left on Orange Grove Road. It is down a short way on your right.

Well....perhaps that's not the actual name but most tourists refer to that road in that manner. So, the person asking would most likely understand what I meant. But, thanks for the clarification.....we needed that.

With that reasoning it's like calling Welfare Road Simpson Bay Road. Roads have names so they can be called the proper name.

PRIME mostly concentrates on groceries, beer, wine and liquor, while Cost U Less is more like Costco and sells a variety of products. We have found prices to be similar, but Prime has a better selection of alcoholic beverages and the prices are better.

january said: I have never heard Welfare of Union called Cole Bay Road. She said it was on Orange Grove Rd.. and thats right! so what's the big deal? everybody knows anyway that if the street doesn't have a "number name" American people won't be able to know or to remember where it is... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
