Can't wait to move down!

Hi Norm and Gisele, we're from Mass too. While I like Publix, Walmart, Sam's and Sweetbay, I find that Sweetbay's has things I'm more familiar with since their in the same company as Hannafords, which you probably know is from New England. Whenever we're there, we always seem to find something from back "home". If memory serves me correctly, I thought I saw a meat store in Wildwood once when we came in by Rt. 75, but someone more familiar with the area might confirm this, and if so, if it's any good. By the way, Sweetbay makes an incredible carrotcake log that the workers tell me that they can't keep on the shelf. I always order a couple before we leave for my son. Since we hopefully (fingers crossed) will down full time in May, he'll be picking up his own when he visits!
