We have retired to Sicily. Been here one week. Pretty much prices are half the price I was paying in Missouri at Walmart. I would also say the ingredients are way better!
@DoItMyselfPeg, Hi Peggy ~ yes, the grocery shopping in Sicily is very reasonable especially for things that are in seasn and grown locally. It's definitely a blessing for which I am very grateful. 😍 Thanks for watching. Blessings, ~ Carol Amato
Nothing like good bread. Hmm?😃 Where in Brooklyn did Croce buy his bread? Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, Dyker Heights, and Graves End are (were) great neighborhoods for good Italian bread & pastries.
@salvatoreemma, exactly! 💚 When Croce lived in NY, he was 18th Ave. Brooklyn. This pic is from Sicily, though. We can't wait to get back ~ exciting. Yep, nothing like good Italian bread and pastries ~ that's right! Thanks for stopping by, Salvatore! 😊 Blessings, ~ Carol Amato
@@TheSicilianLife So awesome. You don’t have to reply. I just want to share. My great grandmother, whom I’m now (at age 60) applying for Italian citizenship through, babysat me as a boy on 77th Street & 17th Ave. My uncle had a law office on 63rd St & 18th Ave; I enlisted in the Navy on 64th St & 18th Ave - my mom worked in the OTB (horse betting parlor) next door. I bet Croce loved the 18th Ave Feast when it came around. It was nice to reminisce. Yeah… nothing like good bread (John 6:35).
@salvatoreemma, oh, wow! What a huge blessing - and what a wonderful heritage you have! I'm sure you've got great memories! I'll have to ask Croce specifically about the feasts - I know he was there for several years before moving to PA to open a pizzeria/restaurant with partners. Yes, LOVE this verse: "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." John 6:35. Thank you for sharing that! 💕🙏 Have a fantastic day, Salvatore, and thank you for sharing your story. Very inspiring! ~ Ciao, Carol Amato
That was a Very Nice Grocery Store. 👍. It looked like it might have been comparable to our Aldi's here in the USA. Great Prices. I go there sometimes.😊👍
Yes, there is a weekly market on Tuesdays in Carini near Corso Garibaldi ~ on a side street. 💚 In Palermo, about 20 minutes away, there is the famous Ballaro Market open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thanks for stopping by.

Oh, Congratulations! That's wonderful~! 💚 Happy for you. Yes! Most definitely, they are way cheaper than the U.S. Enjoy!
00:54 Awww! You certainly don't see that in American grocery stores. Hugs and kisses from Dad to Mom.
@roundtwo3321, I'll have to go back and look ~ thank you for pointing that out! 😍😍Thanks for watching. Blessings, ~ Carol Amato
Wow, some of those prices (even in Euros) seem really low. It's great you've discovered this great store.

What a nice provisions store! No comparison to Aldi with how fresh the meats and bakery items are.
Yes, we really like it there, and it was closeby!

Hi Pam, Yes, it is definitely comparable to Aldi's which is a wonderful store also. Yep, prices can't be beat. Thanks for watching. 🥰
Do you have weekly farmers markets and any other markets? Thank you 😊
Yes, there is a weekly market on Tuesdays in Carini near Corso Garibaldi ~ on a side street. 💚 In Palermo, about 20 minutes away, there is the famous Ballaro Market open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thanks for stopping by.
I prefer the small farmers markets to Ballaro
We do as well. 😊
Trader Joe's still sells a pound of Italian pasta for 99 cents! 😋
That's a good deal for the U.S. 💚 I appreciate you watching.
I’d rather buy it in Sicily tho…
@gailresources3970, me too as it's probably closer to the original source and fresher. Thanks for watching. 😍 ~ Carol
Much cheaper in Spain.
That's great! Thanks for watching. 😊
Are there any items you really miss from the States?
Yes! 🥰 Ziplock bags ~ took me forever to find them, but I did. Not the same quality but will do.
Been here a week and so far I don’t miss anything. Prices are half the cost!
Awesome, Diana! Enjoy ❤️
