Organic Supermarket: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/ (parking + delivery)
Dollar Store: http://www.dollartree.com/ (food, snack, flatwear)
In all, I would carry at least US$900.00 for your 3 day trip and $200 for shopping and entertainment. Since you won’t drive, you will not have to worry about parking and tolls on your stay.
