Supermarket Prices USA.

[Moorlandman]

Water melon was $8.99 in Publix last year.

Fresh pizzas can cost more than going out and getting a cooked one!

It’s shocking how much is gmo. Tbh the food has been a right pain. Disney actually charged me over $14 for 3 small ( and I mean small ) portions of cereal and milk the day we stayed at the contemporary. It was over $2 for 2 slices of bread to toast myself . Absolutely daylight robbery. Have to say as well the quality of Disney good really is poor this time. Offsite has been fantastic. So much do dh said he would never do the dining plan although we were tempted to book for 2019 when it’s released in April. It’s really changed our minds.

We’ve eaten very little on site as we just don’t enjoy the Disney dining experience. We did breakfast in the hotel (AKL) the first day but the bread to toast ourselves was 79c which is very reasonable. However since then we’ve gotten breakfast when we’ve been out.

We did one QS meal, Be Our Guest, and although it was good when we got into the dining area, the queue was long and slow (would hate to be there at a peak time) - I didn’t know about pre-ordering then. I couldn’t be doing with that everyday.

All,our evening meals have been off site and the only bad one was Smokey Bones, everything else has been great - service, food and value wise. We also did Busch Gardens yesterday and had all day dining included in our ticket - we wouldn’t have paid for it but we all thought the food was pretty good for park food, and everything was generally noticeably cheaper than Disney.

I did notice groceries are expensive here - $4.49 for a packet of bagels shocked me yesterday. Fruit also seems very expensive. It’s alright for us, as I imagine if we can afford to go to Orlando then we can pay inflated prices for a couple of weeks without difficulty, however I do wonder how regular people who live here afford it.

I posted this in another thread recently. A few examples of actual Publix prices in USD - taken from my receipts this September. I didn't bother to shop around - I could have got better prices if I did, or by going to Walmart or Target. As Publix is comparable to Waitrose, I don't see the prices are really all that different overall. If you go to the Ethnic aisle for imported British brands instead, you can't be surprised if you pay inflated prives.

Places like Publix push their BOGO and other promotions like 2 for $5 etc and Target push their Red Card for 5% discount on everything.

This leaves the tourist at their mercy as people who are on holiday for a couple of weeks just want to get in and get out normally so don't shop the offers.

Target pay their employees a min wage of $11 and Publix also pay better than Wal Mart, plus their benefits are much better so that puts their prices a little higher.

Junk isn’t that cheap either , needed a warm drink as it’s cooler sat here in typhoon lagoon . Clothes have been cheaper than food this trip .

$14 for a CK t shirt .

hi we recently shopped in Aldi St. Petes and Cortez and found the prices compatible to uk but much more quality,we also did Winn Dixie and food market and yes prices were a lot higher there,also not many staff around and one checkout open ,but this was in the evening 6ish,cases of bud,coors,michalobe,24 bottles $19.00 bargain

I noticed a big difference last week since Aug this year. Prices which were already higher than the UK seem to have moved up even more. Makes you wonder if we have this in store in a year of 2 once we are Brexited.
