Thanks for posting. I saw that DVC News posted this story but I did not get a chance to read it.
When I did my “welcome home” phone call, member service told me about the grocery lists and I have always checked them from time to time. The member service rep did tell me to I could always do better ordering somewhere else. That being said, if the BWV list had 12 or 16oz waters on the list, I would just order from BWV.
We use the resort stores sometimes. And it’s nice to have some basics waiting for us when we arrive. Enough for a couple of breakfasts and snacks, for example.
The prices are high compared to say Publix, but still a heck of a lot cheaper than the QS places. We would get 2-3 pizzas, some garlic bread and a tub of ice cream and feed all 4 of us for less than 2 QS meals.
