What to Order Before You Arrive in St. Thomas

One of the most common questions we hear is:

"What should we order?"

If you've never used grocery delivery before, it can be difficult to picture what you'll actually need once you're on the island. Most people think about dinner the first night but forget everything they'll use throughout the week.

A little planning now means fewer trips to the grocery store later and more time enjoying your vacation.

Start with Breakfast

Breakfast is often the easiest meal to overlook.

After a long travel day, most guests appreciate having coffee ready the next morning without needing to leave the house.

A few breakfast staples to consider include:

• Coffee and creamer

• Eggs

• Bread or bagels

• Butter and jam

• Bacon or breakfast sausage

• Fresh fruit

• Yogurt

• Juice

  
  

Think Beyond Dinner

Many visitors plan a few dinners but forget about everything in between.

Think about the moments when everyone gathers around the pool, comes back from the beach or wants something quick before heading out for the evening.

Popular choices include:

• Sandwich supplies

• Chips and salsa

• Cheese and crackers

• Fresh fruit

• Frozen pizzas

• Cookies

• Ice cream

Don't Forget the Drinks

Whether you're traveling as a couple or with a larger group, beverages disappear faster than expected in the Caribbean heat.

Consider ordering:

• Bottled water

• Sparkling water

• Soft drinks

• Juice

• Sports drinks

• Beer

• Wine

• Spirits and mixers

The Things People Forget

That's one less errand, one less decision and more time to enjoy everything St. Thomas has to offer.
