Never been to Pricememart RD 😩…never been tempted to go …what with the 3 or so hour drive to SD 🥵…or wherever it is. Sometimes it’s cheaper… and more fun……to take the 30 minutes flight to SJU …spend one or two days …filling up …with Walmart , Old Navy, Office Depot and …. Cheesecake Factory….🤤… and come back with stuff we need 🙏….and let Amazon do the rest. 🤷
You talking about San Juan, PR ? Doesn't not seem like a way to actually save money, but it could be fun.
The flight isn't cheap around $330 US - then you need an Uber or taxi to and from the airport to those places - so that covers a lot of shipping

We go to PriceSmart in Santiago at least once a month. Our normal routine is Calle del Sol area for school supplies and garden supplies, PriceSmart, then La Sirena, and Bellon for any hardware needs. The chicken in bulk is very good at PriceSmart. Lots of good cheeses as well, not bad wine selection...etc.

Hah.
In the old days (early to mid-nineties) we used to hire a private plane and fly to Mayaguez for the day.
The customs guys (at PUJ) would happily do the overtime in order to be around to collect their bottles of scotch on our return.
lol.
Btw...
I stick with Palmolive largely because the bottle is more ergonomic that the Dawn bottle.

I don't like the Dawn bottle either. I have a dispenser that has a push down plunger on the top that works for me.

The last time we were there - we renewed the yearly membership. Then bought 1 each of DAWN dish detergent, bulk laundry powder and bulk toilet paper. The savings over constantly buying at local supermarkets MORE THAN COVERED the annual membership fee.

Wrong, I do all the breakfast dishes, and any I use during the day. She washes the after-dinner dishes. I was raised doing dishes and preparing supper as well. My parents both worked.
I do my own because I'm single.
If I were to get married it would have to be a woman that cooked and cleans because I need perks for incentive
