Does Megamart in Mobay sell produce?
Yes.
Sammyb...you asked about ackee & calalloo elsewhere...
Funny thing is...I don't recall fresh ackee being sold in the grocery stores here...you can find it from the individual produce vendors on the streets though. Fresh calalloo you can find most everywhere...grocery stores & the street vendors.
Yeah I hadn't seen ackee in a store setting either but was hoping Mega was different. No Problem will just have to add a stop. Thanks for the info.
Megamart has a big selection. Make sure you weigh the produce before you get to the register, won't make that mistake again.

The Mega Mart was just at home....prices too.
I am more accustomed to making the money switch now. First time I went to a grocery store and spent $6,000 + my initial reaction was "WT*?" but I am better now. What I still can't get used to is paying $4 usd/lb for chicken? You would do better to buy that more locally in the smaller shops or find someone that knows where they can get fresh poultry. Then is is more like $250 - 300 JD/lb. If you are feeding a crowd, it makes a difference. With those prices, I can see why chicken back is so popular - they call it "ghetto steak" and it's good too.Quote:

SweetSue,
I am assuming you are American, and I think you are mistaken in the pricing - confusing kilos and pounds. All the stores islandwide are very competitive when it comes to chicken and no one will be selling anything at the price difference you mentioned. In the above picture, the j$408 is for a kilogram, not a pound. A kilo weighs about 2.2 pounds. So the cost for the chicken above was j$185 per pound or us$2.18 a pound, nowhere near the us$4.00 you suggest. In fact, if you are paying j$250 to J$300 per pound, then you are actually paying substantially more than you would pay at MegaMart or HiLo...
I have a conversion app on my tablet and phone because for some reason I just can't get the conversion down in my head..maybe its the blonde hair I surely do not know ha ha.
So according to my conversion app that chicken would be$ 7.70 US if that is right that's a good deal for a full chicken.especially as its free range.
Yes, beccajean...in the above pic the whole chicken would convert to approx. $7.70us for 3.6lbs worth.

Mega Mart IS a good deal then. I think I will be making a stop. :)

Okay so my little conversion app works, good to know but still that's a good deal compared to what I pay here.
Does Mega Mart by chance sell 'real' coolers, not the soft case type? If so, does anyone know the price range? Thanks!
becca what's the name of the app? I think I may need to do a download!
Mine is for the android and its just called currency converter...you may need to try a few as most do not have JA money.this one the icon is green and blackQuote:
