how do people find the value master in negril compares with the hi lo?
similar prices, often need to go to every store to find what you wantOriginally Posted by original spanky
They're both owned by the same company...I find some items better priced at Hi Lo some better at Value Master. Quality Traders aka the Green Store is another decent place to shop...overall better produce selection if you're not getting them from the veggie trucks.
A few years ago our driver suggested we stopped at the "China man store" in Hopewell. Used to be owned by some of the Chin family so I guess the "China man" tag is still used by some of the locals. Their prices were very competitive with Mega Mart / HI LO and they exchanged money at a competitive rate also.
Interesting you said this...Captain Oil.
Most of the Jamaicans around here use the term China man, Chiney, Indian, White man, Browning (is used less frequently) all very freely. But, having said that...I just read an article in the Jamaica Observer where a Jamaican gentleman of Chinese descent was complaining of being called China man or Chiney.
Times are changing...even here.
When I went in April I used a online wholesaler named CPJ's Distribution. The prices are comparable and if you order more that $100 worth of product there is free delivery to Negril. Check it out. When we arrived in Negril our beer and wine was there waiting for us. Easy business.
I was just on their website and I see that they have a store as well in Montego Bay.
sounds like the amazon of negril
I just looked ar CPJ Distribution on-line store.. Maybe I was looking in wrong place but I cannot see where they offer cases of Red Stripe or Dragon Stout.
Sweet, love this!
prat sista .......... did CPJ deliver to your hotel ? How far in advance did you order ? No Red Stripe or Heineken or Guinness ?
