Thanks for the suggestions. As for the rude comment about going back where we came from, not a great example of Florida's friendliest home town.

I love it here. Arrived a week ago and bought a home yesterday and will live here full time. My comment agreeing with OP about the the prices being higher here was an accurate observation and I asked for suggestions and alternatives to Publix and Winn Dixie. And of course some things might cost more in other areas, but that wasn't the observation that the OP was making.

We will try Wal-Mart and Aldi. Another difference is that in the DC Metro area, grocery stores all double a coupons value, which I found is not the case here. So I just need to be creative in figuring out the grocery budget.
