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

| | | | VILLAGE STORE: TOURIST HOT SPOT | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
Located in the middle of Yosemite Village, the Village Store has plenty of drinks and groceries to satisfy not only the campers but the day tourists as well. It is more of a general store than a food store. Every kind of tourist related gift item from the rediculous to the sublime is available for purchase. Tour guide magazines, souvenirs, and film are included. If you are short on cash there is an ATM on site. Open all year round.
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when browsing around the store, I found all kinds of shot glasses, you know the kind to put alcohol in, not a tired, outdated drinking glass.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.
