Ron, where do you shop?? Very funny...I paid a few guilders for ice at Lisa Gas. There is an ice shop in Tera Cora, 2 guilders. Limes, hmm..a few guilders for a few..haa..I never ask. When I go to La Portuguesa, I order a bunch of fruit and pay 8-15 guilders tops. Cheap and delish.

Ann, where's La Portuguesa? I still pine for good produce on Bonaire. I know I'm spoiled, coming from California produce...

La Portugesa is on Nikoboko Zuid. For those who don't know the roads well, turn off J.A. Abraham Blvd (the airport road) onto Kaya Industria towards Lisa Gas. Continue past Lisa Gas and Bonaire Warehouse, then make a right turn at the stop sign onto Nikoboko Zuid (Nikiboko South). La Portugesa is about a kilometer or so south, on the right. Besides limes, they have great fruits (oranges, apples, etc, when they have them) and various vegetables.

I dont want to push anybody over edge,,But what about the cheapest place to buy beer?...I will Now stop with the inflammatory topics.
|
By Freddie, (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #10701) on Monday, September 15, 2008 - 7:29 pm: |
you are doing fine eugene .. Ok folks let us all know where IS beer purchased cheapest???
|
By Pietri Hausmann (BonaireTalker - Post #59) on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 7:02 am: |
generally the cheapest prices on beer (and often for good wine) can be found in any ofthe chinese markets - for example Carib Supermarket. all these markets are generally located in the niki boko/tera cora area in the outskirts of playa where the locals generally do the majority of their shopping. sometimes cultimara and bigger stores have specials. the island supplier also usually has good overall prices.

By Ann Phelan - www.bonairecaribbean.com (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #3333) on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 8:39 am: |
Pietri, along with that great suggestion what about Progresso? When I had my raise the roof party I bought a few cases of Polar and it was the best price I could find.
|
By Pietri Hausmann (BonaireTalker - Post #60) on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 8:45 am: |
right Ann -- its a great store with lots of surprise bargains .. they always seem to have a sale on one of the major brand beers!
|
By michael gaynor (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #3387) on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 9:58 am: |
Progresso owns the Polar importing company on island if I am not mistaken...hence the great prices

the Progresso I go to is on Kaya Korona in Antriol on the left hand side if you are heading toward rincon-next to Martinez Import -POLAR beer importers -about a block or two before the Catholic Church in antriol. antony .. you are thinking of exito bakery in playa.

By Antony Bond (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #416) on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - 6:36 pm: |
Sorry, my mistake. I was thinking of Exito.
