Which in DR does not deserve the name, more like RobSmart.

StealSmart is more like it. I'm yet amazed any store can stay in business considering the losses of "product with feet" that are walked out the back door everyday. But then, when you're selling factory seconds and product refused by the modern world....the wholesale co$t must be pennies on the peso.

They sale a few products you can't get anywhere else. All the other stuff you get everywhere not cheaper but much cheaper !

Northwest Santo Domingo?

What do they consider the store on Charles Sumner, not quite so Nothwest?

I've always considered anything west of Churchill, and north of 27 Feb., to be northwest.

When you look at a map of SD, find the location of the Charles Sumner store, and tell me that ain't northwest.

I would love to hear specifically where the next planned store location will be, and do they consider that location to be more productive than the Carretera Mella location was.

Oh, and Happy Holidays to all my cyber friends here on Dominican Today, and a very special Happy Holidays to my buddy Jorge...

Never cared for PriceSmart in the USA...and Here in Santo Domingo they are worse...use a calculator and you will see the prices are more than you will pay in a store you normally go to..there is no savings..just STEALING ------smart is what the consumer should be and not follow the trend of the uppy society..who shop to say they buy at PriceSmart.....as everything they send to buy from the USA and here we find the same product at lower prices..just calculate Us$ to RD$ and there is a difference.....

PriceSmart is the same in the USA as here in the Dominican Republic--------PriceThief--------

Follow the Uppy Dominicans and shop there...use a calculator and see the real price of each item...you pay less normally...at your favorite super ......but everything gringo is good then shop and lose..but you will be in the in group

can someone explain: with the ongoing problems with power outages in santo domingo, it's a surprise that a store of this type can survive.
can someone tell me are the prices at a "pricesmart store" lower than, lets say prices at a "price or sam's club" in the united states and can the aveage dominicans afford the prices. i'm sure most of their customer's would be foreigners that live and work in dr and middle class dominicans citizens.

They are far from cheaper than the USA however they are wortt the trouble for dog food if nothing else. nThat is one thing they do have cheaper.

Jonbonz, the last thing you want to buy at Pricesmart is dog food. I have yet to find a Vet. in Santo Domingo that will condone feeding this product to your animal, let alone recommend it.

Bayman46, can you say "generator"?

The prices will be higher in the DR. Why? "ITBIS"

Ask the manager how prices were calculated on any item. Many items can be found for less in other stores. Even local chains of supermarkets have differences in pricing.

More often than not, it's the QUALITY of the product. (Not ALWAYS)
Plus, Pricesmart carries items that are not available from any other merchant.

Metreza21 When you see people buy quantities of anything in bulk, ever wonder why? Colmado owners.

Ask one if you don't believe it. All the colmado owners near my home(ALL of them) buy tons of bulk supplies, and it ain't because they want to belong to some fancy uppy Domincan "group".

You don't need a calculator in Pricesmart. Anything you buy has the per unit price on the

dog food as in purina dog chow

Any vet will tell you that dry dog food is the best thing you can feed your dog, and one of the worse is Pricesmarts. Bargain basement ingredients.
