? for any Florida residents - grocery store prices

[luvmygirls]

Trying to budget for 11 people for 1 week, breakfast foods and a few lunches and dinner for our rental home. Wondering what grocery store prices are in Florida. Where I live, a gallon of milk - 2.69 (2%), 1 lb hamburger is 2.50 - 1 package of skinless/boneless chix breasts 4.59. Sound pretty close to prices you are paying in Florida? Also is sales tax 6.5% in the non-disney stores too??

TIA!
Shelly

Here is a link to a Publix Grocery Store near Disney's weekly ad this week, gives you an idea of the prices. HOWEVER, if your looking for the best prices try a wal-mart or wal-mart grocery store when your here they have the cheapest prices. They just don't have a grocery ad online.

For lots of items Publix is just as good a price as Super Wal Mart.

Food, except preapred foods like rotisserie chicken or deli sandwiches, is not taxable. OTC medications are also not taxed (like Advil, Zantac, etc.)The tax rate varies by county. In lake County where I live it's 7%. Where is your vacation rental?

Hope this helps. If you need more I can probably dig out more receipts.
