Larger St. Croix Grocery Stores

Food costs seem high these days, and many folks will say that their prices are higher than elsewhere. How much higher depends on your point of reference. The best places to shop and the best quality can change day to day based on what you're looking for and when shipments arrive. Higher prices are a thing, but that's not an island exclusive. Basics like eggs for $4.49 a pound in Miami are a sign of inflation, and $4.99 for the same product on-island is not uncommon.

Many of the larger stores offer online shopping with pickup or delivery, and those grocery store websites show products and pricing like the eggs comparison. Your own perspectives on the products you buy are the best, so browse some of the grocery store websites below and draw your own conclusions.

Consider that some heavier, larger, or frozen products often have higher prices than the continental 48 states. Alcohol is relatively inexpensive while mixers like juice and soda are more expensive. This results in an "island pour" which is the tendency for drinks to be be served a little bit stronger.
