corn and food prices
You have to also remember that so much corn is now going into ethanol production, combining this with droughts and you have less feed for the beef and other animals we eat.

I think those prices might be found in or around The Villages.
As stated before you will have to shop the weekly ads, hit 5 different stores and a farmers market. An all day affair. Food prices in FL are definitely higher than Texas or even upstate NY. Last week we bought Maine lobsters for $5.99 a pound. I liked the snippy comments though. |

I don't know what I'd do if I still had to feed a family of 4. I"d have to have a second job I think. I never get out of Publix or Walmart for under $100 and usually manage to spend that much at Sam's Club also.

It's all relative and affects people differently. People who have plenty of money and could care less or eat out all the time verses people who live on a much more limited income and cannot eat out all the time=a big difference. I think for some people the grocery store prices are very comparable to where they came from but for others(maybe many others) the prices are much higher and have a larger impact on their lives.

There is definitely some sort of monopolistic pricing going on in Florida. I think if NY had these high prices US Senator Chuck Schumer would have a Sunday Press conference stating he is against high grocery prices.

Lot of jabs toward a fellow full time Villager on vacation in Massachusetts just trying to pass on a little info that was discussed in several threads before.

Perhaps it was the anyone getting these prices in TV that ruffled feathers. I took that as an insult.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marblehead,_Massachusetts
Marblehead MA is a town north of Boston on the coast. It is mostly a residential town and has a special place in US History. Lived there for 29 years and raised our family there. It unfortunately has winter and we left for The Villages as we retired and have not regretted our move. We always come back in the summer for a vacation to visit our son and family. But especially to overdose on the cheap milk we buy at The Market Basket. {joke} |

Could have said that leading off. Communication is so important to understanding.

As mentioned above, "MARKET BASKET" is the reason his prices are so good. Market Basket has a chain of stores in the North East and their prices are kept well below other food stores in the area. They are privately owned and this is what their owner said recently: “We keep it as simple as possible for people,” he said. “We keep costs low and quality high. We keep the stores clean and offer service with a smile. And if at the end of the day you have some success, then you share that with the associates.”
A good business mantra.

I'm not sure what the point of all of this is, but for me personally, I am not going to decide where I'm going to live based on the fact that I might save ten or twenty dollars a week in the supermarket.
I'm also not going to spend most of my day running from store to store in order to save nine cents on a gallon of milk. But that's just me.
