Coming from an area where tourism is an important segment of the local economy, we expected to see high prices. But not quite so high...
A few days after we arrived, the gas station (the only one between Cannonville, 5 miles south, and Ruby's Inn, 13 miles west) raised its price from $3.89 to $3.99/gal. Yesterday we shopped for the first time at the grocery store. It is a bit larger than a WaWa or 7-11 convenience store and carries just the basics. These are some random prices:
--16 oz. prepackaged shaved turkey breast, $6.99
--Voila frozen dinner, $7.99
--12-can carton of 12 oz. Coke, $6.59
On the positive side, though, the store is close so we won't burn a lot of gas and carries small selections of fresh produce and meat.
We bought two nice chicken breasts which cooked nicely with the microwave's convection feature.
