I'm staying on the north coast for a month and am looking for a good price on a cooler. A cheap styrofoam one would do but I can't seem to find any and the Coleman ones are very expensive here. Please let me know if anyone has seen any at a reasonable price. thanks

Super Super is in Sosua across from Banco Reservas....where exactly will you be on the north coast would help in locating a place for you, .... I have a small cooler and have no problems bringing it on the beaches, but you might if you get a big one...holds 12 bottles of presidente and ice
If you have a place to leave a good one after purchase do that instead. I used to buy cheap coolers all the time...the styrofoam type...and they would always get damaged. Buy a real good one and store it with a family member/friend whatever. This is cheaper.
What about buying one in the US, filling it with clothes, books, whatever and checking it on the plane with you?
Just wrap it in duct tape or have the airport wrap it in cellophane on departure.
A suitcase and a cooler.... all in one
If you're already here.... too late for this idea

Yep, sounds like it's too late, but that's what I did last time. I brought a small cooler and it was great for packing the stuff I was worried about getting crushed. I like how they tell you how many "12oz beverages" each cooler can hold now. A medium cooler that sells for about $25 in the US can sell for $60-$70 in the DR. The main downside for coolers as luggage is they don't latch for the big ones which can be a problem.
Duct tape or cellophane wrap seals them tightly.
Those coolers are very expensive compared to the US
Bulletproof luggage and will stay cool all the way to your destination.
Food, medicine, beverages... like Clamato juices- king sized!!

Thanks all for the tips! Yes we are too late to bring one as we are already here. We will definately use one of ours from home as a suitcase next time. We don't know anyone here to store one for us so will try to get to Super Super tomorrow to see if we can get the soft sided one there. We have several of them sitting in our garage at home in Canada...too bad we didn't think of that sooner!! When we move here we'll definately bring ours and maybe some extras too.
