a question about bringing school supplies

[smith744]

a couple of suggestions

.
.
on your way to Negril,
STOP in Lucea
and GO to-shop at one or all of these places:::::
.
.
1...The Rainbow shop/store ---- this is a Chinaman 5 & dime (e.g., KMart-like, Ja-stylee) store, where you can get some school supplies, that have been PROVEN to *work* well in and for Jamaica's style, system, environment, etc. The products are ideal for the Ja-student's use, and priced SIGNIFICANTly cheaper (and of a higher-quality) than any thing you'll get in-foreign. [[[located on the One-Way]]

2...Hurry Hurry (aka Sinclair's) ---- a Ja-department store type operation, with a few school supplies. But more importantly, they sell school uniform items, which are VERY important, and Ja-school-appropriate shoes & socks. Again price & quality is superb, for Jamaica. [[[located on Millers Drive]]]

3...___???____ (can't remember the name of store) ----- there's another relative-ly *new* store/haberdashery on the Lucea One-Way, which sells school supplies, uniforms, etc. Once in Lucea, just ask somebody --- they'll know where you should go to purchase whatever you want. The school stuff is on the second floor. [[[located at the end of One-Way, on the corner, near Mr.BrownsHardware, across from the gas station]]]

Making purchases of items in quantity will incur significant discounts on you final check-out bill:::: at least 10% (probably more). For example, purchasing a case of exercise-books would be an EXCELLENT gift item.:::::: a bulk purchase of pens, pencils, etc. a good idea too.

an aside::>> dunno why, but I've found that from-foreign ball point pens don't work so-well in Jamaica.
