I only learned in the last 2 weeks out of 8 months that the local colmado sells almost everything lower priced than La Sirena. I started doing most of the shopping for my restaurant there. from 500ml pepsi at 15RD instead of 19.50 RD to rice at 20 pesos a lb instead of 249 pesos for 10 lbs and eggs @ 4 pesos each instead of 79 pesos for a dozen etc... All down the line. Fruit at less than half the price at a local fruit market, I figured that out very early on. 20 pesos for a papaya instead of 20 pesos a pound for a 3 nad a half pound one etc...
I don't need any special brand of corn flakes! I don't eat that much processed food, nor did I sell it in the restaurant.
As far as clothes and shoes, appliances and paint etc... I wouldn't know.

La Sirena is a social experience, where locals can go to juxtapose themselves with gringos. the prices are nothing special, as Derfish pointed out. besides, you had better watch every entry to the cash register, becauses the prices under the items never seem to be the ones you get.
