HiLo cashier will tell you amount in J's and US or Canadian or whatever you want.....
this winter when the exchange was around 90 they gave the rate of 86/85J's on US....usually three less J's
same for putting it on your USA debit or credit card.......86J's when the rate was 89
the FX trader beside HiLo usually gave the best rate in Negril.......
use to go to FX trader every week too.....lol.....before mi go into HiLo
so you go to FX Trader first before HiLo to max out your savings on your foreign monies..........
watch out for HiLo price tags on the shelves.........they are rarely correct......
usually the prices are higher at the cashiers versus the price on the tags....
and there is nuthin you can do but not buy the item.......lol
the two best stores to get the best rate of exchange on your foreign dollars in Negril......
like on Sunday when the Cambios are closed.......is the store directly across from Bourbon Beach.........
and the China mon store across from SamSara.....sometimes mi didn't even buy anything when doing so
both of dem would take 2J's off the going US rate.....so if the rate was 92....they would pay out 90J's....
for mi the China mon store saved mi enuff so I wouldn't have to take a $100J route taxi down to HiLo to change out $50US......
