LOCAL ESSENTIAL SHOPPING GUIDE
Food!!
Stewart's market on Anastasia: Good prices on citrus and local fruits and veggies, as well as meat (best steaks in town!) and local shrimp. They have a shopping basket near the front of the store filled with their bargain veggies (OK, so 25% of the beans are bad, but the rest are good and it only cost a quarter!)
Broudy's Liquors: Just across Highway 1 on King Street and another location at the Cobblestone Village shopping center.. Sales every week, and sale priced items are often a bargain compared with ABC across the road.
Publix: Good prices on Sale Items, especially the Buy One Get One (BOGO) items!
Winn Dixie: Closest shopping store, at the corner of US1 and US207.
Kyle's Fish and Currie Brothers Vegetable/Fruit Stand: This is THE place to go for fresh veggies and fruits. Best prices in St. Augustine. Kyle's has the best fresh fish and hot smoked salmon around.
Lil' Champ convenience store: The closest market to downtown, but high prices. No fresh fruit/veggies.
Farmer's Markets: The one at the Amphitheatre on Anastasia on Saturdays from 730 to 1230. Breads, organic veggies, citrus, artisan cheeses from Georgia, reasonably priced fudge and more. Wednesday market at the Beach is very popular also.
DeNoel Patisserie Francaise: Wonderful chocolate eclairs, chausssons aux pommes, and mousse cake. They also do sandwiches. Weds-Sun, 10-4.
