Living here almost 12 years you learn some of the tricks of living in the DR. And always there is something more to learn.
Shopping is a big deal here or it can be. There are great places to shop, tricks to shopping, services as well, unexpected finds and secrets to be shared....... do it here please.......
Let me get started: my first recommendation is to search the web, do your homework before setting out. Know the days of the week where there is an "oferta". For example Tuesday is Jumbo's 35% off fruit and veggies day. Be ready to deal with a crowd......
Electronics and small items - I swear by online shopping BUT if I can get it here at a reasonable price I always do! I believe in shopping locally but not at double the cost. So for electronics - ebay is my friend.
Share with us your tips and suggestions - please note the area of the country!
