There are no more mom and pop operations here. Everything is a big chain. EVERYTHING. To find a single owner restaurant is a big deal now.
NJ has always been expensive to live. You can't get a can of peas for less than a dollar! And that's supermarket pricing! WalMart here does not have a food store in this state. I think ONE recently opened up but I guarantee if we drive there just to price shop, it's the same.
Like I said, the cost of living here is 50% higher than the rest of the nation. That includes clothing, food, rent, mortgages, insurance rates and on.
