I shop in several places usually twice a week: most of time via car: Winn Dixie nearby for my prescriptions & some other things, Target on occasion for some things (I look at Sunday ads), WalMart maybe every other month for canned goods or cleaning supplies, maybe Whole Foods in the Fall for apples, Farmers Market at Brownwood for produce maybe once a month. We spend $100 a week because prices are so much higher here than in Upstate NY where Wegman’s has great selection & pretty decent prices. I go to Sam’s Club once a month for sparkling water & napkins, laundry soap etc. Shopped at BJ’s up north for paper stuff, spaghetti fixings, etc.
I don’t shop in Publix because their prices are ridiculous. Best advice is to check some of these places out to assess for yourself. It might give you a better idea of the sticker shock you very well will notice here.
We go out to breakfast every 2 weeks, out for pizza once a month, order Chinese take out once a month, maybe out to dinner every couple months prior to Covid. I cook dinner at home most nights.
