Where will I buy groceries and do other shopping in Jamaica?

"For the freshest and best value fruits & vegetables go to the open-air market off Barnett Street. Progressive, MegaMart, Shoppers Fair & HiLo all good supermarkets. Chicken, pork, seafood/fish are plentiful and readily available. Beef is available and decent price but it's NOT USDA Prime! I've had some ribeye that I grilled on the bbq and they were decent, but not great. I tend to bypass beef most of the time except for ground beef. I did buy a couple T-Bone steaks (local western beef grain fed) the other day, $1522 / kg which works out to US$5.35 per pound. On average we spend about $12K a week on food/grocery for the 2 of us. That generally includes a couple bottles of wine... which there is NO 2 Buck Chuck here. Every couple weeks another $3K - $5K at the market for fruits & vegetables. In my opinion; the chicken, pork, fish and produce are better tasting and better for you than what you'll get in the states unless you grow/raise it yourself or buy pure organic," commented one expat who made the move to Montego Bay, Jamaica.

"People living in Jamaica typically buy groceries and do other shopping at local supermarkets, convenience stores, and markets. Additionally, many people in Jamaica shop at roadside stands and farmers markets for fresh produce and other items. Shopping malls and department stores are also popular places to buy clothing, electronics, and other items," remarked another expat in Jamaica.
