For many, if not most, of the poor folks vacationing in the Catskills with their families for the summer, food prices are meaningless because it’s paid for with a Benefits Card.
High food costs are also meaningless for the well-to-do country summer home owners who generally shop at Pomegranate anyway, so high food prices do not affect them either.
And for the average family who can’t afford the Catskills, and whose children attend local day camp; we are happy with the Kollel Store, Paperific, Shoprite and being home at a decent hour on Sunday evening.
