They must pay a lot less for produce shipped to FL than chains in the NE. Friends from Wisconsin also find prices higher in TV than in Wisconsin.
If enough Villagers find this same discrepancy in grocery prices, what could we do to express dissatifaction (outrage?) to the chains in TV? I'm sure a single letter from me will fall on deaf ears, but an organized "campaign" might have a chance. Your thoughts?
