Where to find HOUSEHOLD and KITCHEN Supplies in
Costa Rica
For Home or Restaurants or Hotels
For Home or Restaurants or Hotels
LARGEST SELECTION OF KITCHEN SUPPLIES
TIPS
BUT - they are the MOST EXPENSIVE
CHEAPEST PLACE
to find everything from dishes (not a large selection)
PEQUENO MUNDO
I
think Pequeño Mundo has some of THE LOWEST prices I've found in Costa
Rica for household goods. It's kind of like the American Big Lots or
the old time Pic N Save (are they still around??) where it's always
different (ok, so that's how Costa Rica is overall) and most of it's the
cheap quality "Made in China" stuff, but you can get LOTS of things
from
Housewares•many things you need to set up a new Home•Kitchen•Hogar (though cheap quality) from dishes sets for under $20 to decorative items • Hardware•Ferretería • Food•Groceries•Abarrotes • Furniture (in the larger ones mainly) • Clothes for Kids•Niños • Babies•Bebes • Women•Damas • Men•Caballeros • Shoes•Calzado. In "Summer" season - tents/beach things. They're even good for starting a restaurant as you can get SOOOO MANY things there!!!!!

Costa
Rica doesn't have many "department stores" but Aliss is MY FAV!!! They
have many COOL/funky/unique things from bedding to furniture for inside
and Outdoor•Patio Furniture, fountains to kitchen chachkee as well as
clothing (downstairs) at decent prices and a GOOD SELECTION!! Every
day of the week they have discounts on different types of items, too.
Unique things I've found at Alyss - these really neat candle trees - a 3
1/2' metal shaped tree with 34 candle holders in it for just $16 each
(in the states that would have been about $70+), sort of orange dishes
with purple shiny stones in them (VERY festive!!), a multi-colored
shower curtain and cool towels (including bright ORANGE ones!!), bright
sheets (only one set as now I'm ordering them online and bringing them
back on those trips though one day I'm going to try mailing them), rugs,
etc., a bamboo room divider, rattan placemats and LOTS MORE!!). I've
also found their things like kitchen chachkees like spatulas, serving
spoons, etc. cheaper like I've found things overall there. THE BEST
place I've found for the COOLEST Christmas decorations (which to me can
make for FUN household decorative things year-round!!)

A
WONDERFUL, HUGE store FILLED with all sorts of chachkis ("stuff") for
personal / home use, Restaurant / Hotels / Parties and Industrial use.
Everything from CAST IRON and STAINLESS STEEL pots and pans, industrial
and home size APPLIANCES (including Fryers, Juicers, Freezers, B'bques,
Hoods, ++), BAKING SUPPLIES (everything for candy and cake molds,
spices, colored sugars, meringue powder, baking chocolate, cake pans,
fondue pots, to fondants), Plates, Glassware, Gourmet products, Wedding
Supplies, Bar supplies, Waffle Makers, Catering Service items, Cleaning
supplies and accessories.
BUT - $$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!
They now have a few goodies for Raw Foodies like Food Dehydrators, Power Blenders • Juicers (like VitaMix's and industry strength ones) and MORE but they're MEGA $$$$!!!!!!!!
Sometimes they hold COOKING CLASSES (I've heard they range from 15,000 to $50 for 2 classes - plus supplies [guess you must buy the pans, etc???)
And
Tips also sells Party things like Chocolate Fountain, buffet trays,
Chaffing servers, Serving Trays, Cotton Candy machines, Hot Dog
machines, BIG party size POPCORN MAKERS and MORE!!
FYI - they ain't cheap but if you put a $$ value on your time and gas to run around to find things - especially that aren't the more basic things you find in CR, I think they're WELL worth the "investment"!!!!

tc was their max and they advertise "Hotel Grade" though I don't know
what that is) - higher quality sheets as well (HARD to find that in
Costa Rica as your average sheets here seem to not even have a thread
count on them). I bought 50/50 (cotton/poly) mattress pads for around
$10.50 for Twins a few years ago.

ya!!) and if he's not there - ask for Juan Carlos and Alvaro
ESCAZU (Guachipelin)
- From the now little "intersection" (it used to be a little rotunda)
on the North side of the Pista from MultiPlaza-Escazu/West - take the
North/West road. Go down 800 mts. (passing MuebleAmerica) and it’s in
an warehouse complex (Complejo Attica) on the Right that also has KFC’s
offices. It’s Bodega #2 on the left side.
