TAMPA, Fla. -- Cynthia Jones has her grocery shopping down to a science.
She divvies up her list between the shops of Palm River Road in Tampa, forgoing spices and frozen fruits at Save A Lot in favor of Dollar Tree’s much cheaper prices. From there, she marches on to Fresco y Más.
Store by store, she gathers what she needs to ensure she and her 91-year-old father, whom she cares for in their home just outside Ybor, can stay healthy, fed and full while staying afloat.
