Just want to weigh in here on this. Yes, Mega Mart will probably have more selection and better bang for your buck, however, it's an international company, and it doesn't appear to me that a lot of the $$$$ stays in JA. Hi-Lo is part of the GraceKennedy group, and is Caribbean. They do a lot of fund raising etc there in JA and other Carib countries. They give back. Considering that we are all visiting JA and getting seriously Great Joy from it, it may be worth it to spend at Hi-Lo where there is more local produce and local stuff. You also gotta give the little guys at the end of the road trying to eek out a living some $$ too. Sure, you may pay more for your beer, but hey ... you're there and have a lot more disposable income than the owner probably does. Know what I mean? I feel strongly about giving back here, so I feel really strongly about giving back there. Get the basics you need at Mega Mart, but other than that, spread the wealth. And no matter how tight your budget is, if we are going to JA, we're probably doing a pooh-pot better than most of the employees at Hi Lo, or the corner store. Random acts of kindness. Spread it around!
