Grocery Shopping Tips for Your Golden Isles Vacation

A little planning can save a lot of time when you're visiting the Golden Isles. Here are a few tips to make grocery shopping less of a chore and more of a quick stop on the way to the fun stuff.

1. Stock Up Before Heading to Jekyll Island

If you're staying on Jekyll Island for several nights, consider buying your main groceries before arriving. Jekyll Market is convenient for essentials, but full-service supermarkets on St. Simons Island and in Brunswick offer more options for a larger shopping trip.

2. Consider Grocery Pickup

Ordering groceries online before your arrival can save time, especially during busy vacation weekends. Just make sure your pickup window works with your travel plans.

3. Plan a Few Easy Meals

Sandwiches, breakfast foods, beach snacks, and a couple of easy dinners can go a long way when you're traveling with kids.

And if your vacation rental has a kitchen, you're not obligated to use it every night. We don't make the rules.

4. Check Store Hours Before You Go

Store hours and services can change seasonally or during holidays. Check directly with the store before making a special trip.

5. Don't Forget Brunswick

If you're looking for additional supermarkets, wholesale shopping, or specialty grocery stores, Brunswick has more options just across the causeway.

Check out our Guide to Brunswick Grocery Stores and Specialty Markets for more places to shop.
