After reading about the new supermarket (Newtons) being expensive, where would you advise to do our first shop, We will need toiletries, suncreams, mosssie coils, Water, beer, spirits & general food items, we normally just use the small shops around calungutte but have a little more to buy this time as we need some basic food.

I didnt find Newtons expensive, found it very handy to get everything we needed from just one place and they have a good selection of food stuffs.
Must agree with Roxey found Newton,s great for every thing and no more expensive
Strange how peoples oppinions vary, I was just going off some earlier posts regarding costs being considerably higher in there,
where exactly is Newtons??

I went for a look in Newton's, just to see why it was so big! I did find it a little more expensive (by our standards) for things I looked at by comparison with the smaller Lawande Supermarket. It did, however have a better wine selection. I preferred to to continue to shop at Lawande, and support the smaller business. I didn't see any Goan shoppers in Newton's whilst I wandered round.
I used the elephant shop and Helens supermarket just before Nino's nook both great value for money

400 rupees, if my memory isn't deceiving me, for whichever white wine it was I was drinking (that, I can't remember, but I drink dryish).
there is a small supermarket called ferns opposite the aloregrand they sell everthing you need and more it is run by a goan family i spoke to the owner and asked are you not selling the pastrys this year and she said that with the new supermarket newtons the demand had almost gone i would not shop in newtons as the prices for some things are a joke i like the personal service you get from my local shop ie friendy chat and smile i noticed sitting in anapunas opposite newtons that no goans go in there it is aimed at the tourist where will it all end shame in my opinion
Leaving bags at the door and havin a ticket in return put me off.
yes surfstak dont like the sound of that myself .......i will stick with bruno's
The small super market in the back lane behind the indoor market next door to the photo shop (Calengute) marks down the rrp by a ruppee or two.
Gemma we got a decent Rose in the MD and i think it was only 350 a bottle,nice and chilled
Thanks Debi. I prefer white. I think I drank the white Riveira and it was ok, but cant remember the price.

I might try the Rose tho Debi cos if needs must .... then its ok
I prefer red but as you say needs must
a woman after my own heart Debi
