Wife & I rented a house in the Keys for our 20th anniversary March 17-24. My brother & his 13 yr old daughter will be joining us also & bringing their old Nautique. I know Parker is closed. I also know Parker is way too small for our Skater so we borrowed a toon from a friend that lives in Parker to use for the week. Lots of grilling & chilling. Hope to see some of you that we've met before & meet several others. We used to go to Parker several times each year when we lived in Chandler, AZ. If anyone can take my brother & me for a lil more of a speed run I have gas $$ or we'll buy lunch/beer.

Just bought a plane ticket for my Dad to fly into Phoenix from PA for this week. He will ride out with my brother. I'm beyond excited now!! Pops had previously said he couldn't make it. Hell ya, c'mon March.

Is the Safeway in Parker still decent ? We will need to buy groceries for the week. Thanks for all recommendations.

It’s the more expensive one but the nicest. Definitely has everything you’d need.

Thanks, what's the other option? Coming from NorCal it won't seem expensive but always looking to save a few$$

Walmart Supercenter across the street from Safeway or Food City in Parker proper.

I pretty much stick to Safeway myself. It’s easy in/out. My time is valuable when boating is involved lol

Safeway is the way to go. Walmart isnt bad.. But you have to deal with navigating around the snowbirds in there..which cuts into your time.

Walmart is across the street. Safeway has the reservation tax added on. I don’t really pay attention to it though. I hate Walmart so I either shop in Havasu or go to Safeway.

Their produce and meat section is horrible. But there are a lot of things that are significantly cheaper.

Safeways meat department definitely bangs on any others in town. I've gotten some delicious meats outta Safeway!

All other things, I usually just grab outta Walmart because I like to fit in with the rest of the Parkerites!

Safeway for all groceries. The Butcher for meat and the thick cut bacon. Prices are much lower than my local Ralph's in CA. Best part is getting a $1 off gas at Terribles using Safeway rewards. Paid $1.29 a gallon last trip with 1 off.

You are more than welcome to stop by for beer anytime. I'm fairly certain we won't run out of vodka, crown, or red wine also.

What are the best options for getting gas on the water if we don't want to pull the toon or Nautique while we are there?

Probably just the older boys and I. Renters are still in the house so staying with Randy. Getting boat serviced Friday morning, then up to Pirates on Saturday and head home on Sunday. Had to get it out there so that we could get the bottom done and boat coated before Desert Storm.
