Trader Joe’s, (same prices as up north) Whole Foods (actually less cost than up north) every 2 weeks. Produce comes from container garden at our house. Beef, Pork and Chicken we have raised free range. We split with 3 others. What I can’t grow, or buy at farmers market in between driving to Gainesville, is few and far between. Coffee is a big expense, Blue, and Kona shipped in. Only eat out if it’s something we don’t prepare well. I don’t keep budget on food cost but do notice big difference in prices in Florida com paired to Michigan. So we drive a car.
