The article claims for The Villages:

Average annual grocery costs: $4,591

$88/week for groceries per household? That's funny.

All other cities were near that amount. Wonder if that was for a 2 person household Possible if you live near a city with the $5.00 Costco, Sams or BJ chickens.

With what the contractors charge here, you better have savings .

If it is talking about retirement, I assume it is a 2 person household.

Sure you could try that, but one random trip to Publix to buy sides to go with that chicken will destroy your grocery budget for the month.

Only if you shop at publix. Way too expensive.. For a single I've been paying less. Yes it IS possible.

I know a few people shop at Publix that are on limited, very limited funds. Why? That's how they got that way is my guess
