He is down here from N.J.
and I grocery shop for the wife.
So we had just casual talk and stuff.

Really nice guy.

Got behind him at check out and his meager supply of groceries for a few days
came in at $100 or so.

He was having a small hemorage at the price while I was snorting through my nose
trying to keep a straight face.

Kinda think I'm seeing less traffic already.

He's worried about price but shops at Publix?

Poinciana has lower incomes compared to the area near the other one.

My grocery bill is $80 - $100 less at Walmart. Winn Dixie has some good sales on meat but is no bargain either.

There are certain things that Wally World can beats on price. Sometimes you can't go wrong with Publix BOGO deals.

I agree and mainly shop there. I was trying to point out that a Publix in an affluent area can have higher prices
than a Publix in a lower income area. But for buying canned good Wal Mart gets the nod.

The main appeal of Publix is that it isn’t wal-mart.

And yeah, pricing definitely varies by region.

on the one hand there's [the media] and on the other hand there's the left wing progressives, and you can't really put them in the same camp that easily - JBP
Well, hopefully we will be putting them 'in the same camp' - Michael Malice
