By products I mean grocery's, golf carts, food in restaurants, gas etc.?
You can often find better prices no matter where you are. Cost is often different than price. For example if you drive 20 miles to save say $10 on groceries ie shoppers clubs,
a fair TRUE COST of running a car, wear tear, fuel is just a small part of the real cost it comes to around .65 a mile. If, you drive 20 miles to save $10 your true cost is three dollars more not $10 less and that values your time at zero.

Aside, because of where we live, groceries we can go to Winn dixie, Publix and Wallmart
by golf cart. Walmart is furthest away 3 miles to Winn dixie, 2.5 to Publix Wall mart is like 45 min. golf cart, more money involved we did buy outside the villages, our cart is 9 years old. Perhaps in another 9 years I will need to buy another one.
