>>>Why is food so expensive in the DC area? I moved down here from >>>Boston which I thought was high, except for seafood. Grocery deli >>>sandwich meat for 5.99 - 7.99 / pound. > The Safeway in Rosslyn is more expensive than any other Safeway I've ever been to! (For example, a can of Similac baby formula costs a dollar more at the Rosslyn Safeway than at the the Safeway in Woodbridge). Of course, Woodbridge is a bit of a drive south on 95, but you might want to think about shopping outside the beltway and checking out stores like Basics, Shopper's Food Warehouse, etc. Debbie -- Debbie Minett Center for Seismic Studies, Arlington, VA minett@seismo.css.gov
