Pamela's Guidebook

•Aluminum foil •Saran Wrap •Sandwich bags (great for freezing fruit and taking to beach) •Paper plates, plastic ware, plastic cups (there are plenty of dishes in kitchen but if you want to reduce dish washing, this is a great one to bring from home vs. buying at beach) •Spices •Sugar •Flour •Pam/cooking spray •Vinegar/Olive Oil/Dressing •Ground Coffee and filters (regular filters) •Butter, there’s no price difference in buying it at beach it’s usually that I only need 1 stick for the week, so this reduces what I have to bring back •Bread if I have on hand, I bring it to keep it from going bad, it’s just as cheap at beach though •I check my fridge and take anything that may go bad and take it as well if I think I may eat it •I also go through the items in my freezer and pantry and take what I can just to eat what I have on hand •I also take a cooler, obviously I’m taking cold items with me but I always end up with fridge/freezer items to bring back and having a cooler on hand keeps from having to purchase one there and/or having to throw food out The grocery prices are relatively the same in PCB as they are in other places in southeast, so no reason to buy before you come other than to save time on grocery shopping. I do always take as much as I can that I have on hand, especially those items that are sold in bulk so I don’t come back home with lots of flour, sugar, spices, paper goods, etc. If you want to order groceries for pickup or delivery, there is a Walmart across the street from the resort, the address of it is 10270 Front Beach Rd, Panama City Beach, FL 32407. To order go to: http://r.wmt.co/h1wHC. Although pickup is free, in my opinion it is worth it to have the groceries delivered, the delivery fee ranges from $7.95 - $9.95 depending on time slot chosen. There will be an option to tip your driver AFTER delivery is made. If choosing delivery, I always let them know in “special instructions” within the checkout process that utility carts are available at security desk inside the lobby by leaving license with security. PLEASE NOTE DURING BUSY TIMES ON BEACH, PICKUP AND DELIVERY MAY HAVE A 1-2 DAY LEAD TIME, SO CHECK ON SITE BEFORE YOU LEAVE ON VACAY TO SEE HOW FAR OUT THEY ARE ON ORDERS, YOU MAY NEED TO PLACE ORDER DAYS AHEAD OF TIME. I think it’s best to schedule groceries for pickup or delivery MANY hours after you plan to check-in to condo or the morning after you check-in. If you see that you’re not going to make it in time to get your order call the store and let them know, they can often keep your order pulled and reschedule for later time.
