I worked in the Supermarket business in NY for 25 years. The circular you posted from Food City is a very aggressive one with great prices. If you think Winn Dixie has high prices, try looking at Publix prices. Their shelf prices are equivalent to our NYC prices! They sell chicken breasts for $5.99lb!! I wrote to Publix and asked them why their retails are so high? They responded by telling me that many items are shipped from the north and the shipping/gas costs are high! I guess they don't have chickens in the south! They also offer 1c deals and Senior Discounts in their other stores, but NOT in Florida?? Guess there are too many seniors here.

I can't wait till Aldi's opens, and I hope they have the Seedtastic bread my DIL served us for lunch in Indianapolis. Really good!

Our veggies are virtually free since I’m using heirloom seeds, dry them and replant. Mine look better than anything at the farmers market.

Wow! I'm impressed! I would love to see your garden some time.

There is already one open on 441, I would assume the new one will carry the same products. You can check now to see if it will have the bread you mentioned

The old television story is simply not so if it ever was.
It is mass production.
The calf is born and raised to a certain size by one producer and then it is sold to another BUSINESS to be brought to final size. It is then sold again to the BUSINESS that will slaughter it, remove the guts and it is sold again as a side of beef.

You can buy a side of beef and cut it up yourself saving that cost but you will end up with a lot of meat that you may not want to eat. It is a lot of work and you will need a freezer in which to store it

Food is cheaper than where we lived before moving here. (So is gasoline, property tax, sales tax, auto registration to name a few other things. )

Aldi's has the bread and their European seasonal products are arriving.

If you like Aldi's bread you might like to try Dave's Killer Bread in Publix. I went to the Woman's Seminar in Orlando and their company was there sampling their bread, it is unbelievably delicious. I went back for three slices and then they shut me off! The story behind this bread is quite something: Dave's Killer Bread | Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified Whole Grain Bread

I see it's down by me too. Is it in the freezer or out on the shelf? Looks good.

I can't believe 8 pages on food Prices! I guess there's not much going on.

I love Dave’s Good Seed Bread.

Everyone, who moved here from the suburbs of NY, NJ & Ct-knows they're living for nothing compared to the state income taxes, school taxes, property taxes,sales taxes, insurance--honestly TV is a bargain
