I definitely recommend buying food, drink, utensils, etc..before you come into the park. It's incredibly overpriced to buy anything at the markets in the Park. If you're entering the park from the south, you'll pass the town of Oakhurst which has 2 major grocery stores and lots of other little shops. I also recommend getting your alcohol here--even at the pharmacy it's much cheaper than buying it in the Valley, El Portal (though that's technically out of the Park), Wawona, etc. Of course, there are other towns you'll pass through if you're not entering from this area...Mammoth, Mariposa, Lee Vining...
EVERYTHING is expensive here--including the few gas stations. Fill up before you come into the park as gas tends to be about 20+ cents more per gallon than anywhere else in the state.
If you find yourself low on items and don't plan to leave the park, just buy what you absolutely need here. OH! And get your bear canister as well if you're camping, but I'm sure you already know that.
In the park, MUCH more than outside of it. I'd say like 15% more, at least. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

We had brought our main food stuffs with us but this was a place to buy treats like ice cream which is obviously too perishable to cart around in your cooler from San Francisco! They also have a good selection of beer. This is California, after all, one of the earliest proponents of the craft beer revolution so you don't have to drink Bud. We would buy a six and sit out on the patio outside.
Beer was not marked up as much as it could have been and it was still a lot cheaper than buying beer at a restaurant, even the pizza place was about double what you would pay in the store. Grab a pie, a six and enjoy.

 Tourist Trap or Help? by travelgourmet
I am a sucker for shot glasses. So, when browsing around the store, I found all kinds of shot glasses, you know the kind to put alcohol in, not a tired, outdated drinking glass. No, this was the gen-u-wine 1 1/2 oz. , put your favorite booze in, shot glass. Found a set of four, I don't like to down shots alone, that met my criteria for a Yosemite shot glass. Now to find the bottle of tequila.
Most items are a little pricier that outside of Yosemite National Park, but hey, it's a long drive to the closest town. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Yosemite Village MallDirections: Inside Yosemite National Park, at the Village, near Yosemite Falls.

Gasoline is extremely expensive in California these days. It's REALLY expensive in Yosemite! Try to fill up in Oakdale, or one of the other nearby towns before going into the park. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
