Money and Shopping in Riomaggiore
Sciacchetrà (shak-eh-trah) - this Cinque Terre dessert wine should be available in any of the wineries throughout the villages. In the Coop shop in Riomaggiore (as of February 2011), it should cost €36 (~$54 USD).
There are a couple Coop shops in Riomaggiore (kind of like a local supermarket) that have a lot of things you can buy, like dairy products, breakfast rolls, meats, cheeses, olive oil, frozen pizza, and wine. Everything is pretty fairly priced, and this makes it easy to cook food at your hostel for cheap.
Just like almost everywhere else in Italy you will go, there is a Tabacchi shop (tabacco shop) and a Farmacia (pharmacy: you will see a neon green "+" sign and listings of the local temperature) situated right next to each other. Toiletries seem to be much more expensive in the local Riomaggiore farmacia, and there seem to be almost no travel-sized options. You can find great deals on most everything if you take a quick 10-15 min ride east to La Spezia to buy your essentials. There seem to be thousands of different options for cigarettes (including small packs, unlike most places in the USA), and they don't seem to be too expensive.
