Island Pricing

Understandably, things cost more here on an island than on the mainland. In the past, we could sneak over the bridge to a Publix to save a few bucks, but they built a new bridge and now charge us $6 for the pleasure. 

So I understand captive markets. Nonetheless, I still am struggling to understand how a burger and a breakfast sandwich at Newark Airport cost about the same as an entire dinner for two here on Sanibel, a place not known for good deals. 

I'm guessing it's time to wake up and smell the roses - New Jersey is not worth the money. 

In the interests of fairness, I will admit that I also had a root beer float in Newark, but, come on.
