Not sure why that posted as San Jose, but we are in Haucas. Not looking for high end, but not looking for cheapest either. They are use to eating Science Diet in the states which is upper mid-range.

Unfortunately my 2 oldies are on special diets from the vet. When we had 5 Price Smart was the place to go.

yes, never try to use a Camote as a sweet potato, especially for fries ;-( I too have never seen fresh ones... you can buy canned ones at Auto Mercado.

I can help but its a little too early to start looking now. If you try to rent now, you will be paying vacation rental prices. Better to hold off until mid to late December if you want to save some $$$. www.costaricagurus.com
OK amigos. An expat fresh off the boat (plane really). We just moved to Playa Flamingo as a start. My little ones start school soon. Looking for good tips on food...

Where are your kiddos off to school? There is a decent feria at the La Paz campus on Wednesdays with great organic chicken and veggies. Definitely recommend buying organic here. There is a French gal who makes the best bread there and she often sells the goatmilk yogurt and cheeses from playa avellanas goat farm. There's good fishing at playa Potrero (follow the pelicans to tell you where the hot spots are) and there's no scary currents there with low surf so it's a good bay to learn to SUP/SUP fish from. If you're interested in a deal on a board or two with a paddle, we have some for sale including a 12 foot board that is perfect for popping a little one on and cruising! Great yoga at Bahia del Sol in surfside. Super Maasai is a good market but pricey (par for the area). That's all I got right now...

For the sim go to Agencia ICE. It's on the left heading flamingo to huacas about 500 meters before the T for huacas <-> playa grande. For food Punto Tranquilo in Hucas is pretty good, NY Pizza in Huacas makes a great pizza. There are also lots of places to check out in Tamarindo and TripAdvisor is usually pretty spot on for reviews and ratings. Supermarket, the best ones are within Tamarindo AutoMercado (lots of american stuff) and MegaSuper, the closest full size one to you is Super Compro in Huacas. Shopping for decent furniture is gonna be mostly in San Jose or Liberia or maybe in the tamarindo garage sale group. Also there is a group for Tamarindo Chit Chat great for topics in the area. There will be a huge marathon coming up in Sept for runners.
Bill S. replied:
For new furniture you could check J&G Furniture in Huacas along the road to Playa Grande and Casa Nova in the Paseo del Mar plaza along the road from Huacas to Brasilito. Or if headed to Liberia, visit Zen and La Artistica across from Liberia airport.
