    When I was staying in Santa Barbara around June/July last year I was incredibly jealous of your massive warehouse supermarket "Costco". That place stocks EVERYTHING you could possibly need and it's dirt cheap! You could buy boatloads of berries and fruit for a few dollars, bags of pre-packed chicken fillets frozen etc. I nearly wet my pants every time I walked in that place. Buy everything in bulk and store it for future use.

    well what do you expect. everything else in cali is so ridiculously expensive the food might as well be cheap.
    think about it.

    Everything seemed pretty cheap to me (compared to Australia). Unless you're referring to real estate which I personally didn't look into
