No place really "fancy"--Cody's, Red Sauce, Francesco's, Joey's
So at 5x/week that's $435, or $22,620/year---ouch, OUCH, OUCH
Even our take out/delivery runs $35-$50/meal
So I'd love to know where you go
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

Don't even think of florida as a fish producing state. Most is brought in frozen from the northeast or overseas.
