Sosua Supermarkets
A number of posts recently from new owners of property in the greater Sosua area and a number of other posts regarding food prices. It seems appropriate, therefore, to provide some information about the supermarkets in Sosua.
There are three: Two Playeros and one Productos Sosua.
The Playero on the highway opposite the REMAX building is the largest of the three and has the best selection of imported products. The prices are marked on the shelves and include the tax, so what you see is what you pay. With respect to prices, this store is in the middle.
The smaller Playero in the center of town is well stocked, though less so than its big brother, and the aisles are narrower. Almost every product in this store is a few pesos more expensive than at the larger store even though a distance separates the two.
Productos Sosua is on the highway at the Cabarete end of Sosua. It's products are presently not marked with the price, however, my experience is that most are less expensive than those of the big Playero. It has some imported products, but not to the extent that Playero does. But for products sold by both, Productos Sosua has the edge.
I have been told about the small supermarket in the Coastal gas station between Sosua and Cabarete, however, I have not shopped there myself (don't have a car). However, it is said that their prices are lower than Playero, though you won't find many imported products.
If you are in Puerto Plata, you may want to shop one of the supermarkets there. They aren't any larger than the big Playero, but their prices are often as low or lower by a couple of pesos than the lowest price in Sosua. However, the difference is not worth making a special trip for.
