Hi Folks,
I'll be moving over in late November, and I wonder if any of the residents could give me some advice on grocery shopping?
I've only been to the DR one time last year, and did not have the opportunity to go to the regular stores. If I can figure out in advance if something is not available easily, I can then plan to bring some over with me as I use very specific items both in my cooking and also for home-made beauty products
If any of you know where anything from the following list is available in Bavaro/Punta Cana area, and roughly how much it costs I would really appreciate your input :classic:
Coconut oil (preferably extra virgin organic)
Coconut milk
Pure Aloe Vera gel/juice
Ground Almonds
Almond Oil
Cocoa/ Cacao Butter
Cocoa/Cacao powder
Indian spices (curry/turmeric/cumin/chilli powder etc)
Essential oils (tea-tree/peppermint/lemongrass/lavender/citronella)
Vanilla Beans/Ground Vanilla powder
Castille soap
Bicarbonate of soda (Baking Soda)
Arrowroot powder (or Cornstarch)
Caustic soda (Lye)
Borax
Ibruprofen/Aleve tablets
Also, does anyone have or know of 2 2nd hand Adult bicycles for sale/rent/to borrow for 6 months we just need some cheap bikes, no need for new/fancy expensive ones!
Thanks in advance - really appreciate any input you guys have on this
