Thanks for your replies. i know that United states are huge and there are as many cultural differences between either from East and West or North and South as in Europe.
Food culture from Florida should be very different from theses of South Dakota or Alaska as Sweden food practice is different from South Italy.
An another question for Addie.
I read the link you have sent and something puzzles me. I haven't seen any publicities for spirits ( wine whisky and so on). Are these products sold in groceries store ?
Laws for spirits are controlled by states, and sometimes counties or cities within states.I read the link you have sent and something puzzles me. I haven't seen any publicities for spirits ( wine whisky and so on). Are these products sold in groceries store ?
When we owned the folks' home in Ohio, and I would drive there from Massachusetts, I drove through Pennsylvania. This was back in the time before they sold Yuengling beer in MA. I thought (incorrectly) that Himself liked Yuengling, so while driving through Bloomsburg (a college town) I figured I'd get a 6-pack. Stopped at the police department because they would know everywhere beer was sold! Seems like at that time (about 2004-ish) if you wanted a six-pack, the only place you could buy that was at a bar! If I shopped at a beverage depot, I couldn't buy anything less than 24 bottles. Not wanting to walk into the nearest tavern, we had a full 24-count case in the house. All this time I figured the reason Himself's relatives all had 24-count cases of beer, etc meant they were alcoholics....In Ontario, at least where we'd go, you buy liquor at the LCB store, and beer at a separate beer store. Same thing in Pennsylvania, at least where we've been.
people often seem overwhelmed when they see how pricey my food is.
1.)i often buy high-end items, although at other times i buy cheaper food. they balance in cost.
2.)amount of sales per item contribute.
3.)we have a higher tax % than other areas.
4.)we have higher-end grocers in many places
5.)& groceries sell alcohol. not until recently, though quite a few PA grocers have caught on & begun to sell alcohol
if they're considered necessities, they're tax-exempt.
