Are Groceries Expensive in Aruba?

Groceries in Aruba can be more expensive than in the mainland United States or Europe because many products are imported.

However, prices vary considerably by supermarket, product and brand.

To save money:

  • Compare supermarket specials.
  • Choose locally available alternatives where practical.
  • Buy larger quantities of water and snacks for longer stays.
  • Use smaller convenience stores for quick purchases rather than relying on them for every grocery trip.
  • Compare grocery delivery costs with the transportation required to shop in person.

There is no single supermarket that is cheapest for every product.

Should You Rent a Car for Grocery Shopping in Aruba?
