Supermarket advise

As I had mentioned before in one of my prior posts.  After much investigation we decided to only do our shopping in Automercado.  Funny enough this supermarket has an unfair reputation for being expensive.  But after carefully comparing prices with Walmart and others we realized that sometimes the difference in price is tiny, other times they are the same and often times Automercado is cheaper.  With the advantage that Automercado is clean, easy to navigate and has the best meats we have found.  The chicken, fish and meat is aways fresh and of high quality.  The consistency in quality Automercado delivers is unparalleled!  Here are some examples of prices.  You can also find Automercado in Herradura Beach,  Playas del Coco and Playa Tamarindo to name a few places other than San Jose.  And their return policy is good, they will mot refund you but they never argue and they give a store credit.

Remember it is the summer of 2013 so $1= Colones 530.
