Mini Super in Cortes. Just 1 kilometer south on the Costanera, turn right at hospital and go down main road about another half kilometer.

BM Supermercado in Palmar Norte. About 10-15 south on the Costanera. Large supermarket and good prices.

BM Supermercado in Uvita. About 20-25 minutes north on the Costanera. Not as large as the Palmar location but plenty to choose from.
