On the other hand, grocery prices here are outrageous compared to NY
11 weeks at Publix and Winn-Dixie----$3,000
previous 11 weeks at Wegman's (which tends to be more expensive than Tops or Price Chopper in central NY)---$1600.
Can't figure this out---especially meat and fish, in the #3 cattle producing state which is also surrounded by water these prices are almost double central NY[/QUOTE

Grocery purchases 8 months/2015 in Fla (excludes Alcohol)

Walmart $2,111
Sam's $922
Publix $353
Aldi $286
Etc $609

total $4281 $535/mo

4 months in Cal and in travel trailer to and from

$2,469 $617/mo (includes feeding our 31 YO son while in Cal)

Grocery Prices about the same in Fla and Cal (mostly Safeway).


I agree with you - Publix and Winn Dixie are very high!

We buy staples, dairy and some produce at Walmart; meat, coffee and paper products at Sam's; some sale items and BOGO's at Publix and a few items at Aldi. Produce at Marion Mkts.
