foods we can bring w/us

[Paige's mom]

Can anyone tell me what we can pack in our luggage and bring w/us to the D.R.? We are thinking of packing coffee, granola bars, crackers, pretzels, etc. thank you.

I think you can bring them all if they are sealed, but I do wonder about the coffee.
Santo Domingo coffee is world class and a lot cheaper than good coffee elsewhere.
Is there a reason you want to bring some?

You're going to the place that makes the best coffee in the world imo and you want to take coffee?

I do it the other way around I always take coffee home from DR when we come!!

Well - I'm not the coffee drinker (nor is my husband) in the group - but the rest of the group wants to make sure that they have their coffee......we're hoping to get to a grocery store - but we weren't sure how 'expensive' items might be there.....

Coffee is certainly not expensive - I would definitely not talk coffee to DR, if I was Dominican I would be insulted . To be perfectly honest if you're going to a grecery store when you get there I wouldn't take any of those things! - you will find everything you need there and its no more expensive than US (if that's where you're coming from)

OK - well, none of us know - and I know that when we were in Aruba - items in the grocery store were VERY expensive.....and yes, we are coming from the US. Thanks so much for the input - anything else you can tell me????

The expensive items would be more in the cosmetic line, for good brand names, as well as suntan lotion, toothpaste, etc.

We'll make sure we pack that stuff - and enough of it to get us thru the week.....again, thank you so much for you help/input - as none of us have ever been here before and we aren't staying at all-inclusive resort......which means we will have to go for groceries to stock up the kitchen.

You're going to have a blast.
What part of the country are you going to?

What do you want to know - anything you want or need to know about DR can be answered by someone on here. Just ask or do a search to see if your questions been answered previously. When are you going and where are going to?
