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?

We have the Marion market and our local farmer's market for produce. You can get some great deals there. We have Walmart and prices are reasonable. Publix is pricey and is a convenience, especially produce is pricey. If you shop around you can do well. Plus Publix and Winn Dixie have many buy one get one free items every week. Usually different items each week also. If you are smart you can save quite a bit. Plus there are manufacturer's coupons. At Publix on line site you can go to their coupon section, select which coupons interest you, check them off, save them and when you go to the store just let the cashier know and the coupons will be taken off the bill as you buy the item.
