				We are hoping to stop at a grocery store on the way to the car ferry to St John.  Does anyone have any experience going to Plaza Extra Foods?  We are looking for a grocery store to pick up essentials.  Looking for good fruit and veggie selection.

				I am curious the responses you get.  I have always heard of Cost U Less on the way to Red Hook from the airport.  That is where we plan to stop.

				We hit Cost U Less on the way, and when time isn't an issue we stop by Duffy's Love Shack for their Sweet & Tangy Fiji Wings.
Everybody wins!

				Last March we stopped at Cost-U-Less and plan to do the same on our upcoming November trip.  As I recall, their produce area looked very nice.  They also had a large freezer section - frozen veggies, fruit, etc.  That's where we purchased most of our beer and alcohol prior to getting on the car barge to St. John.  Very nice selection, reminded me of a small "Sam's Club."

				I really liked Pueblo.  Closer to the airport than the ferry but great selection and good prices.

				i shop at both cost-u-less and plaza extra but if you only have time for one go to plaza extra.  cost-u-less sells in bulk so if you only want 1 bottle of ketchup you are out of luck.  the produce at plaza extra is more reliable and i find it a bit cheaper.

Hey BigCheese maybe we'll follow you!  I have always heard the prices and selection are better on St. John.  We are staying in Cruz Bay...where do you generally shop for groceries in St. John?  Thanks.
