Fruit and vegetables and meat are more expensive, and much less fresh. It's much easier to get a non-mushy, tasty peach or orange or ear of corn on the mainland. Canned goods are more expensive. Things that you use every day, not the things you would use on vacation, are more expensive -- pots and pans, pants, furniture polish, etc. ... the mundane things of living. But it's mostly produce and big appliances where you'll notice it most glaringly. Clothes too, often.
