I'm wondering what some of the must get supplies people get on the way to their hotel are?
I'm staying at a non-AI with a small fridge, no stove.
Any ideas for snacks, munchies, etc?
Thanks in advance!

If a new sim is required, I get one there at the LIME desk.
If I didn't bring some: paper towel, saran wrap, etc.
I always bring lots of ziploc bags from home, come in very handy for many things.
I bought some sports drink lady dec. , it was plenty hot outside. , water ,Red Stripe. You will need chips and chocolate for those munchies.

Crackers and Tasty cheese for snacks

Guava jelly is great on crackers too!!
We bring a knife and cutting board along, that way we have something to cut the fruit up that we buy on the beach. They will always cut the fruit for you but with a little fridge it's nice to cut it up fresh the next morning!
Red Stripe, wine, and snacks. And red stripe and wine.
If you like cream in your coffee like I do its a must. I had to buy in Negril last year it was 17 dollars for maybe a quart.
we stock the fridge with juices and milk, yoghurt.
Also pick up cereal, snacks, cheese, rum and coffee. We bring chocolate, some snacks, kitchen items like a knife, plastic cups, zip lock bags, dish soap, paper towels.
Damn... that's extremely expensive. ;(Quote:

Agree with all the above. But stuff like bug repellant and sunblock are best brought from home. Also consider "Dragon Stout" if you like your bheer dark.
I like half and half but they didn't have it so I had to buy heavy cream. and I paid 17 us
I prefer heavy whipping cream for my coffee... the tall quarts of 'fresh' cream (Sunny Morning in black carton, or a different brand with white carton in August) are cheapest at about $700 jmd. The UHT cartons are about twice the price, around $1,335 jmd for the large, $345 for small ones. (plus gct)
There is actually nothing that I must buy at Mega Mart. We prefer to forgo the big-box shopping experience in Mobay and head straight to Negril. After checking-in, I usually take a walk to a local market like L&M, DJ's or Wise Choice to grab some supplies. Of course, I can't stock-up in one trip but I actually enjoy making near-daily trips to the market to get what I need. (Plus I prefer to support local businesses.)
For that price just buy rum cream
We like to shop at Hi Lo in The Sunshine plaza, one stop shopping reasonable prices.
Red Stripe/Heineken for sure & Rum as well..Is it just me or did anyone else notice the NEW Duty free liquor monopoly at Sangster no longer sells the 1.75 bottles of Appleton Special? . 1 Litre seemed to be the largest bottle available.Please bring back SUnshine Liquor store !!. I may have to pick one up at Mega Mart to bring home this year . Always get Coffee there to take home and Jerk Spices as gifts !

Is Mega Mart cheaper than HiLo? I will be in Montego Bay for 4 days prior to heading to Negril so if it's worth a stop I will.
Jamerican71...I find many items cheaper but at the same time some are more expensive. Depending on what you're purchasing...it will often balance out. Definitely more choice overall.Quote:

My go to food group in JA
I bring oatmeal packets, canned meats, mac and cheese, beenie weenies, instant soups, pop tarts from home and buy from Value Master red stripe, milk, butter, hardo bread, hotdogs for my mac and cheese and pineapple cake (lots of pineapple cake), guava jelly, and coffee. I bring a single burner stove and hotpot/coffee pot with me so most of our meals I fix in our room. We buy jerk chicken EVERY night for supper.
If you want a quick snack then try their bbq chicken. I always buy a half and eat part that night in my room. I also get milk, bread, butter, eggs, tea, wata,dish detergent and soap for washing out clothes. Oh, and I get mosquito candles too. I do have a kitchen where I stay.
