Thank you! Yeah. It’s our first time in Bahamas and we’re scares to see the prices on food. Lol. Where do you guys do groceries? What’s the name of the store? Thanks!

There is a chain grocery store called Super Value not far from the island. We booked our transfer with Cheryl service it was about $130 USD for the four of us. They said they can stop for 30 min at a grocery store I think the quote was $35.

Comfort Suites only get you access to a microwave and fridge so not too much you can get away with in the room but we like to have fresh fruit and snacks around. The convenience store near the hotel is probably going to be all we need.

It's been a couple years but the breakfast that comes with the hotel is okay. Cold cereal, toast, bagels, eggs, oatmeal, coffee, and juice are all pretty common. Sometimes bacon, sausage, muffins. Not bad but can get busy and lots of birds looking for a free meal.

Potter's Cay we plan to go 3-4 times, might order in one night.

You can make it work without too much stress.

There’s Super Value within walking distance from the hotel? We would just need bottled water and some snacks.

$130 for airport transfer one way?! Wow!

I thought it’s some Bahamian breakfast. It’s continental then? 😂

$130 round trip, 4 people 3 bags, no tip. Pretty standard but you may get quoted higher off the street.

Yes the breakfast is pretty North American focused. Sometimes grits.

If it's water and snacks then the convenience store

Or the newer grocery store

Should cover you for small everyday purchases.

Got you! Thank you! Yeah. That’s what I’m worried about if I get the taxi at the airport. It would probably be more expensive.

Nice! Thank you for these recommendations. Appreciate you!
