I'm wondering about Dave's raisin and cinnamon bagels - have you tried them?

No, I love real Jewish bagels, but I don't eat bagels because they are loaded with carbs - but yummy. The husband eats bagels, but he prefers NY Water Bagels - is that the right name?

It's on the shelf in the bread aisle. Good stuff - load it up with butter and strawberry jam or whatever you like ....

As for food prices .... if I want it I'm going to have it! I am only going this way once, my kids are financially secure, and now it is our time.

I do not believe you can compare Publix prices to Aldis. Publix has name brands and store brands . Aldis has Store brands pretty much only. Apples to Apples.

It is not always about the price. Time Distance to store , convenience to store all play a part in decision to shop and spend where you do.
Just my personal opinion. Carry on

I think we all look at pricing differently. My husband looks at the per pound price. I look at the per serving price.

I don’t have to fight the crowds stand in lines and basically have more time in my life to enjoy. When we are out and about, We shop Trader Joe’s, and Costco. Off campus grocery’s are cheaper.
I am interested in trying out the online grocery shopping; is that from Amazon, or ? Can you advise? Thanks.

Madelaine, I think you are referring to The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. on 27/441. The most marvelous bagels. . .this is one of my "go to" places when I visit TV. Wish they would open locations in Chicagoland. Another reason for me to move to The Villages some day.
