For those who are from the island or are currently there now...what are the supermarkets there like? I never really checked so I am curious if they carry some of the same things as here such as milk, eggs, cheese, meat, etc?

You will find most of the same products on island that you find in an American grocery store. You will recognize the brand names as American or Canadian products that you are used to. You do not, however, find the same selection of brands. Instead of twenty brands of coffee, you may only find one or two.

There are two "large" grocery stores on the island. The word "large" is in quotations because they do not approximate the gigantic supermarkets to which you are accustomed in the US and Canada. They do, however, carry everything that you need. The nicer of the two is an IGA supermarket and carries the IGA store brand in addition to the other brand names. The second, Rams, looks more like a warehouse. It is not terribly attractive but it does carry some specialty products that you can't get at the IGA. It has a wide range of Indian and other ethnic foods as well. I tend to shop at the IGA three times in a month and once per month at Rams.

I do not purchase the local meats. They tend to be cut differently and are not as tender as the USDA meat that I am used to in the United States. Fortunately, they carry imported USDA Angus beef and pork that satisfies my need for meat. As a former resident of Iowa and Wyoming, I like my meat and need to have good quality!

There is a third store near the campus. It is much smaller than the other two and the selections are limited, but it has several things going for it. It is open nearly every day of the year and it is close to campus. It also has some of the best vegetables on island so I often stop there on Thursday to get those,even though I've shopped at the other stores for everything else. You would expect their prices to be higher since they are close to campus, but I don't think that they really are that much different.

Now for the negative! You will pay more for most food products on St. Kitts than you would for a comparable product in the United States. All of the products on the shelves had to be shipped from somewhere else. Shipping costs money. The cost of oil is skyrocketing. There are duties added to imported products. If you eat an "American" diet, you will pay more here. If you like beans and rice, your food bill will be more reasonable.

Keep in mind that these are my personal opinions. Someone else may very well disagree with me. If they do, keep in mind that neither of us has done a scientific survey to find out the true cost of the food here or the relative quality. We are simply expressing our own preferences.

The above is a fairly good account of the reality of kiving on St Kitts.
But you will enjoy the island- the sea, the sun, the sand and the people are friendly.

you can buy fresh fish fried by the ferry terminal quite reasonable, and especially on Friday nites.

Beverley's floats with salt fish may be bought after 11 am by the telephone cubicle in the Circus in town. I found it great for the money.
