ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

 AgroEscazu • Agro Escazu

AgroEscazu • Agro Escazu - a GREAT store for everything from popular American Pet Foods & Pet Supplies and Medicines (including the HIMALAYA line of healthcare products and those Flea Collars that last for MONTHS!!) to Garden Supplies/Chemicals, Seeds (that actually WORK to grow in this area!!) and they even have an English-speaking Veterinarian!!

And MOST IMPORTANTLY - they have THE BEST PRICES I've found in the Central Valley for MOST of their things - ESPECIALLY the higher end
DOG and CAT FOODS!!

PET SUPPLIES at the BEST PRICES!!

DOG FOOD
I was Pet Sitting with a family in Escazu that bought NutriSource Lamb Meal Dog food from PetsMarket.  Knowing they are one of the most expensive stores around, I called the Costa Rica Distributor of NutriSource and after MANY attempts I FINALLY got someone and asked for a list of other stores selling NutriSource. 

When I heard that AgroEscazu (up across from the church in Centro) had it - I got EXCITED as I knew they have the BEST PRICES on all things Pets!!!
EXAMPLE:
PetsMarket - 18 kilo bag  =  41,740-c ($76)
AgroEscazu  =  30,850-c
PLUS they give a 5% CASH DISCOUNT!!!!  That's just 29,307-c ($57)!!!

The Odie 3 kilo size was just 8,500-c ($15.65 + the 5% discount) 
(it did not have a price on it to compare it to)

So I got BOTH bags of NutriSource dog food at Agro Escazu for just 37,382 ($68.84) with the 5% discount!!
They also have the HIMALAYA medicines for 1,000-2,000-c a bottle less than I had paid at the owners regular vet!!
