Outrageous! Everything is out of control. We live in Indiana, I thought our prices were high, but wow! Very very very Outrageous there
Prices are close here in East Tennessee as well. Bacon has come back down to around 7.50 for the Oscar meyer.
Thank you Mark for really sharing the truth about living in the Keys! Love your channel with your wife!
Also closes Walmart to you is Homestead Florida use to work for them as well.
Good information Mark! It's unfortunate you don't have a Walmart. Overall I think Publix is about 20% more expensive than Walmart. Good job
Thanks Mark great video, love watching all your videos. I own a retail & wholesale meat store in Wisconsin price are right on with are prices. We make a lot of smoke products are bacon is $9.39lb beef jerky is are specialty 28.99 lb. We stay Florida for seven weeks, Ocean point Key Largo and Weston Florida. Love it . Thanks for videos , Holmen Wisconsin
Great info, shoot me a link sometime if you guys ship....good cuts of beef are a bit tough to find down here. The grocery store stuff is mediocre at best, and the few places we have here that advertise "Prime Beef" ....yeah...not so much.
OMG Mark, I shop at Costco and BJ's, and now my wife says lets look at Sam's Club! Well, on a pension I shop for the coupons and discounts on the foods we use, especially when I plan on our 3 Boys and Grandkids will come around!
Besides the chickens, dont be surprised to see a few street people hanging out there
But as for shopping in the Keys, remember that unless things have recently changed, there are no Wallmarts.
Publix has good bargains when they offer the buy one get one free on certain item.
But also remember that there are 8 Publix markets currently in Vero Beach, with several more scheduled to be built.
There is also a Wall Mart super center and a Wall Mart grocery/pharmacy store as well.
Even more important, especially for seniors is the very large Cleveland Clinic Hospital, with lots and lots of doctors of every description.
I was living on Duck Key when the Publix market was built, ditto for the home depot.
We made monthly trips to Homestead and Miami to go to the large discount stores like Cosco, and so did lots of others.
But figure a day out of your life in order to do that, plus a tank of gas, which is always higher in the Keys.
The same thing happens when special medical treatment is required.
As an example, my late wife and i were in the Publix market in Marathon when she turned to me and said that one of her eyes had lost some of its vision.
We just left the cart where it was, went to our car and drove immediately to the Baskin Palmer Eye Hospital in Miami.
It was more than a 2 hour drive, while her condition was worsening
Fortunately they performed lazer surgery within an hour after our arrival and her eye was saved.
So these things need consideration, serious consideration, before seriously thinking about how nice it would be to be Keysy.
Pretty comparable prices to SC. Btw… try the Tillamook Cream Cheese. It’s delicious on a bagel.
I'll check it out!
Mark the big truck drivers can park on the side of publix on 53th st thats where i park my all keys concrete truck
Mark, thank you for sharing this information. Here in PA, bacon is $7.99 per pound and chicken wings are $3.49. Red meat is comparable in price.
Hi Mark the prices are about the same here in western mass
We want to move down to the Keys from Cape Coral. Those prices scare me. Yes it is way more expensive! We might not be able to eat. Publix is expensive everywhere!
Just got back from Marathon. The prices of everything are crazy, I know it's the keys we have been there many times. This will be our last visit, it's too much, we rented through Coco Plum and it was good, but I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. So we won't be back, Marathon is so crowded we won't be missed. We love Publix but at some point you have to move on. The keys will be (if not already) the home of the rich and the rest of us will have to move on.
I lived there 40 years and recently left and could not be happier….i could not agree more with you. Nice but overrated. Terrible beaches and overpriced restaurants
We are in Marathon about a week out of each month. It is definitely worth it to stock up on meat and other essentials here in Orlando before we head down. We still end up using that Publix much more than we would like.
Prices on non produce items are considerably higher than in Northern NJ. I don’t food shop in Walmart. I was at Costco last night and they had prime primal cuts of NY strip for $11.49 a pound. I could tell you why I think it’s cheaper in certain places but I don’t want to start an argument!😂
LOVE Tillamook❣️
Publix has the best fried chicken
Mark, everything is outrageous, from food,gas, housing,rent,insurance, home prices,mortgage rates, our county is in deep deep trouble. The American people are suffering alot! Cant wait till November
winn dixie alot cheaper worked there for a year
Here in Delaware some of that was cheaper than here. Some was way more expensive. And some was about the same. So all in all? You Wana play you gonna pay! My question Mark is it worth it once a month to load up a bunch of coolers and go to Homestead or Florida City?
Same as in Ralphs southern California
Used to be a shrimp truck....
It's cheaper to shop in the Florida keys then it is in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 😅
Publix. Nope. And I can’t get my wife from shopping there. But of course she usually only gets meat that’s on sale. Me? Walmart!!! And not at those prices for sure!!!!!
Yep, but we are closer to Cuba than Walmart LOL!
The meat is much much higher than it is here, especially the steak... wow... To be honest every item was nearly a dollar more
I really like bongos at Publix.
Publix is more expensive in general especially with their meat. But they do have a pretty good quality of meat. I also look for the bogo's which are fairly frequent. Walmart is considerably cheaper but is always a zoo unless you go at off peak hours. Not to mention some weirdos at the Walmart I go to 😄
I live in central Florida and personally I do groceries at Walmart bc I feel like it’s a bit less expensive than Publix; but I do love their subs ! My parents recently got a membership for Costco
I price checked along with you - Sarasota County Publix. The bread was 49 cents less, the NY Strip - $4 less a pound. You beat us by $1 a pound on the T-bone, $1.50 on the ribs all in all it seems to be a wash
Im originally from NJ. Whenever i visited the keys for a week or so, we'd go food shopping, and always found the prices comparable. Except for the fruit i found was cheaper believe it or not in the Keys. Except apples and pears
Looks about the same as here in Minnesota.
That's why we go to Costco and Sam's Club. So the trip to Homestead would be worth it once a month for me.
The seafood thing was surprising the last time we were down.
Cost me $168 for some hogfish, crab claws and shrimp. Oh there was some grouper too.
The prices here are cheaper at Walmart. I would go with the quality of the meat at Publix. We get are meat from butcher shops. I would say it's probably about the same in Minneapolis MN at Publix. We don't have Publix in central Minnesota. Just plain expensive everywhere. Thanks for bringing us along.
We just spent a week and a half in marathon and shopped at the Publix quite frequently. It is a very nice grocery store but the prices are very high. I wish you would’ve looked at the English cucumbers. They were $4.99 for one of those long skinny cucumbers. In Michigan, where we are from, they are $1.69 each when not on sale. Eggs and Milk were also much higher. I guess that’s the price you pay when visiting that awesome Key. I’m sure we will return in spite of the high costs.
Prices aren’t much different on Eastern Long Island-Beef has become a rich man’s treat because cattle ranchers are getting killed on fuel and feed costs.that being said,it’s all still ridiculous and unnecessary.Bottomline-when you make fuel cost more than it has to-EVERYTHING we purchase is effected.Until that gets fixed the only way forward is gonna be even higher prices.
I work at Publix in Foley Alabama 7 miles North of Gulf Shores and what your showing about 10 percent higher then what our prices are. Only difference is but one get one in Alabama if you only want one you get it about half price. Not long me a hat in Flordia.
I live in Oregon, along the coast. Those prices were really high. We wait for sales. We can get bacon 3.00# potatoes under a dollar. When beef is a good price less than 4.00 we have it ground. Cheaper than hamburg.
In Broward County the prices are similar, got a Publix across the street from my house but I don’t buy any of my meat there
I used to shop at Publix but we moved out to a very rural area where we have some questionable grocery stores therefore we shop at Costco and sprouts 🤣
Seems about the same as Tampa. Man, I'd be taking the coolers up to the Miami Costco. We pretty much get all of our meat from Costco here in Tampa and freeze it with the machine, no freezer burn or any noticeable differences, except for the price per lb!
What a fun video! I live in Northern Virginia and our grocery prices track with what you showed in the video, EXCEPT our beef tenderloin is $8/lb less expensive.
Been to that parking lot many times and no lies told, very cramped. Prices are pretty much the same here but we have a Seed to Table, probably the best “grocery store” in the country
Terrible quality high prices
Mark, you all gota shop when the veggies are on sale! Freeze them, and make a summer BBQ!
Wow! We have a Publix in the town that I live near, but it is very expensive. I shop at Walmart or Food Lion, which is less than 15 minutes away. Our prices are up 33 percent over the last three years.😢
If you voted for Joe you voted for it
LOVE IT 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Good info, thanks.
I sold my house in Cookeville Tn in January 2022, I spent my winters down there .There was a new Publix there, even back then it was very expensive. Glad I'm back in Michigan. Some prices here can be expensive. Especially MEAT!
I live in Gallatin
Winn Dixie has lower prices on meat, and Publix is lower for dairy products. We head North to the Villages in the summer and have two Publix and a neighborhood Walmart within two miles of our home. You can guess where we do most of our shopping.
Thank you Mark.
Heading to Marathon in 2 months time and your video give me an idea about prices.
I'm baffled on how food is so much cheaper in the UK.
Thanks for the video. I live in Orange County, California most of the year but spend part of my winters in Florida and I can tell you that groceries here in California at places like Ralph's (Kroger) or Stater Bros are at least 20% cheaper than most of the prices you showed at Publix. To give you an idea, I just bought tri-tip on sale this morning at Ralph's for $5/pound (regular price is usually $8/pound). Fillet Mignon is $29/pound regular price. Atlantic Salmon $10 or 11 per pound. A gallon of milk is $3.89 (I just bought it today on sale for $2.99)
However, eating out here in California is just as expensive as it is in the FL keys. And of course, places like San Francisco are definitely more expensive. Thanks again for your informative videos. Can't wait to go back to the keys next January. Cheers!
Hi Mark! Here in Orlando FL we are a dollar cheaper in comparison all the way around the Publix store. 🤗
Food prices are outrages I have switched to walmart and cut out luxury items
I think the prices are about the same as the Publix in St Pete.
