I have to ask if you have checked out food prices in other parts of Florida such as Gainesville, Orlando, or Tampa. Maybe (I do not know) Florida grocery prices are higher and it is not just The Villages. Personally, I would believe that over it being just The Villages. My wife tells me that overall grocery prices were higher in Maryland than here and the quality the same - unless you went to Whole Foods where the prices were MUCH higher.
However, as I said, I do not know as I did very little grocery shopping before moving here and still do little. I am very lucky to have such a great wife that takes care of that stuff and still manages to treat me so well.
