Where do you buy groceries in So. Florida?

[wanderinggrandma]

I'm in shell-shock once again as I grocery shop in South Florida. Where do you who live here year-round shop?? Publix is the DD & SIL's choice. But there has to be somewhere more reasonable. Specifically, we are in the Westin/Davie area.

I have suggested a Costco run for meat, but no seperate freezer-there is only a side by side.

So ladies--HELP--where do you shop??

Sav-A-Lot! Make it a monthly visit and it'll be more cost effective. I know mine has sales on meat on Sundays. If they are worried about spoliage take a cooler.
For things like fruits and veggies roadside markets! I have visited your area alot and know that the roadside markets are everywhere and cheap. Especially along Krome Blvd. Also the weekend Flea Markets are a bounty of choices, could almost make us give up meat altogether.

Just like Laurie, I shop at Save a Lot, roadside fruit & veggie stands, or Walmart.

Thanks Ladies!! The cost of living down here has skyrocketed in the last 5 years. Groceries in Oregon are a lot cheaper. I shop Winco at home, which beats Albertsons, Safeway, Fred Meyer's and Thriftway everytime.
