don't know if this has changed in the past few weeks, but when we were down in mid-November, Starfish's selection was severely limited because of the construction going on -- it was more like a convenience store! We scooted over to Dolphin, and it was great. We usually like Starfish for ease-of-use (parking, etc.), but we were impressed with Dolphin's selection and prices.

We're not full-on "cooler people", but lately we've been bringing a few packages of frozen chicken and steak with us; it's more a quality issue than a price issue, although it's nice that it does save money as well. Back on our first trip, the raw chicken I'd bought at Starfish was, um.....borderline. :shock: And that's not exactly what you look for in chicken...

@thebin-- you can drink the water and use the ice on STJ.

Most villas have filtration systems and I never buy bottled water or ice unless it's for convenience.

After 13 years of travel to the VI's I have NEVER gotten sick from drinking tap water at the villa or anywhere else.
