I like the new Publix, but only because it's close to my house. So far I'm not impressed with any of the grocery stores in Florida. The produce is awful and expensive compared to up north. Food prices here are outrageous. A pound of small shrimp $14, that's ridiculous. Sticker shock for me on many, many food items.
Are there any vegetable/meat markets in the area? I've been to the farmers markets in Brownwood and Marion County, but it's slim pickings. On top of that a head of broccoli was $3.50. Perhaps, I'm spoiled by the quality and abundance of fresh produce options we had up north.
Anyway, Tom & I always said when we retired we were giving up this vegetarian lifestyle. Bring on the cheeseburgers and fries. We're ready, but we would like to have a nice fruit, veggie, meat market close by too. One would have to be from up north to understand, I think.
