    The fruit stalls on the sides of main roads (Independencia, el Conde) are usually ok and the merchants won't cheat you. Perhaps its better not to buy around Parque Independencia, where many of the sellers carry shot guns.... not quite sure what else they're selling.

    If you're in the tropics, you might as well buy some tropical fruit. Eating anything with a peel is fine (don't eat the peel, obviously) and depending on the time of year you can get some incredible fruit in the DR. We were there at Christmas and bought avocados that were as large as melons, very ripe papayas and golden pineapples.

    Don't pay more than $1US for anything.

  • You will be approached men and some women selling their wares,,,,necklaces,sarongs,handmade items,and cigars,,don't pay what their asking,,haggle a lot,,if not interested just say no gracias and ignore them,,,I would suggest shop around some if possible,,and see what the going prices are for said items of interest.

    about everywhere,,theres rum,coffee,cigars

    rum is about $8.00 a fifth,for the better stuff,,,coffee about $2.50 a pound(bean or ground)cigars really varys a lot,,,,,marlboro cigarettes $16.00 a carton,,,please check with customs on how many you may bring back.
