The ****ing mind reader knows where I get all my food... why don't you
make another attack, LOSER... show the entire world what a ****ing
moron you are. I'm only 2 1/2 hours from NYC, I have friends and
relatives who visit often and they fill my shopping list with the best
foods NYC has to offer... Just last weekend I was brought among other
items three dozen bagels from Port Washington's Bagel Boss, too many,
had to freeze most, unfortunately, but even when frozen they are much
better than any I can get around the capital district. Soon as ski
season gets rolling I'll have guests from NYC most every weekend, I'll
have more fancy viands then I'll know what to do with... It's snowing
pretty heavy right now, I bet Windham will be open this weekend.

And pea brained JSB still hasn't figured out that anyone with access
to the internet can find out the prices at most any supermarket on the
planet, and at many other types of food emporiums. I even buy a lot
of food on line. I still read NY Newsday on line every day, and all
the NYC food ads are right there. JSB, you lose one more IQ point
(drop below 50) and they will incarcerate you in a high security
sanitarium for the mentally deficient... really, padded cell. straight
jacket, anal plug... you think they will tolerate all your shit like
you dump here... it ain't even funny how dumb you are, see me joking.

I moved from NY (Staten Island) to WA state (near Seattle) and for the most
part, our food prices are about the same. I could get some really cheap
produce (only certain things) at Family Fruit from time to time. But I
could never count on that. Going there was often out of my way and I never
knew when they would have the good prices or if the product would be fresh.
One thing I noticed about NY was the produce was quite often not even
remotely fresh. I found the freshest stuff at the Army commissary in
Brooklyn, if I went there on Friday before they began to sell out. Oddly,
we moved there from CA. Produce that was expensive in CA, was what was
cheap in NY and it would be labeled "grown in CA".

We do seem to have a much larger variety of foods available to us here in WA
than we did on Staten Island. Could just be because so much of the
population there was Italian. You could get a LOT of Italian food, but
other stuff was not so common. I can recall going to the store for a
certain type of non-Italian cheese, only to discover that they were sold
out. Here, I can go to Central Market where they have a cheese counter with
several brands of what I am looking for.

I also have a choice of a lot of different stores within about a 2 mile
radius. There, I had the choice of Waldbaums, a few mom and pop type places
(overpriced and little in the way of selection) and the paltry few aisles at
the little convenience store on Fort Wadworth where we lived. If I wanted
anything else, I had to drive quite a piece to get there. You have to
factor in the price of gas and also tolls as in the case of going to
Brooklyn.
