Everyone's Gotta Eat! - Grocery Shopping

Grocery Shopping is actually very simple in Barbados for two major reasons.

The first is that getting to the Grocery is very easy to get to just by taking the free UWI shuttle to the area with the store like the Super Centre in Worrens.


Next to the Super Centre there is a PriceSmart (417-6278) and if your a member, that's the best place to stock up for the month. There Hours of Operation are Monday-Friday 10am-8:30pm, Saturday 9am-8:30pm and Sunday 10am-6pm.

If your looking for groceries that are a bit cheaper you will actually have to pay $2 and take a ZR to A one & Carlton Supermarket in Black rock (425-1097). I'm not sure of their times but you can call.

Secondly, almost all the Groceries have free shuttles that will take you back to residence with your stuff. Isn't that great!

There are several alturnative places to also buy groceries in a pinch. Every wednesday and Saturday there is a fruit man who comes to FWH to sell food. You can get things like apples, oranges, pears, grapes, plums, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. Its a bit expensive but fruits are always expensive and its nice door service.

There is also the Campus Mart that has all your basic essentials, but there mark ups are like $2 more. I only recommend going there when you don't really have another option. Its open Monday to Saturday 9am-10pm.

There is also the Esso at the bottom of the hill. Their pizza is super awesome and they have the basics and are open 24hr but the walk can get annoying.

There are other supermarkets around but these are the easiest to get to. If you wanted another one just look it up on the Barbados Yellow Pages.
