What's for lunch? (2025)

The sub was a great deal, even with the exchange rate, but the other items we bought were at least 25-30% more expensive than back home. Maybe because we’re in Naples? :man_shrugging:t2:

That has been the case with grocery prices whenever I have gone grocery shopping in resort areas, like Aspen or Tahoe.

*$10.99

corrected. I had used the right US price in the conversion.

I dunno, Publix and other chain grocery stores should be the same price every where.

Ideally they should be, but they aren’t.

Prices at Loblaws, No Frills, Metro, Food Basics, Sobeys, etc aren’t even the same between London,Ont and Toronto.

I’m always surprised when the Toronto Little Italy Metro is charging more for milk and canned goods than what I’m paying at Metro in LdnOnt.

Rent is vastly higher in Toronto than it is in London Ont, so I guess I just answered my own question as to why Publix in Naples is so expensive :sweat_smile:

and, what the Naples market will bear!

what really sucks is that groceries are also much more expensive in rural communities and northern communities, where much of the population is broke. very expensive in Newfoundland, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, rural SK, Manitoba, Alberta, NWT, Yukon, Nunavut, relative to a mid-sized city.

hope you find the right bangs for your Naples bucks!

All that matters is that the sanguweech was tasty :face_savoring_food:

I hope you squeeze in a Cuban (sando) while you’re in Florida.

Currently 58F in South Florida! Warmer tomorrow, though.
