PUBLIX -VS- WALMART

My husband and I had to make the dreaded trip to Walmart because we needed some things that you can only find at walmart. It had been so long since I was in there that I needed to look for the bananas because they moved them!! I knew I was going to Publix on Sunday, but decided to pick up these items, using only 1 coupon for rice. Everything else was the shelf price on both walmart and publix. The first price will be walmart and the second Publix

Peaches $2.00 $2.00
Plums 1.35 1.78
Gr onions 1.18 1.19
celery 1.48 1.49
gr. pepper 1.96 1.30
bananas .78 1.16
gr. chilis 1.44 2.70 (bought Great Value brand, Publix didn't have store brand)
spicy ranch dressing 1.26 1.49
good seasons 3.28 4.09
2 jello pudding 1.68 2.18
oregano 1.62 2.39
11 cans asst. beans 9.48 10.89
gal vinegar 2.28 2.69
Pantene Hair Gel 3.97 3.99
Pantene Detangler 3.97 3.99
rice 3.28 3.49
Gr. Turkey 6.24 6.24
Gr. Turkey 6.24 6.24

The total for Walmart after my $.75 coupon was $52.74
The total for Publix after the same $.75 coupon and competitor coupons was $48.55

That was only a savings of $4.19 because I was not shopping the BOGO sales and buying specific items we needed to make Pilau and Taco Soup for the freezer. Had I purchased the items in the last post (cereal, juice, kleenex, etc) you really would have seen the difference in the amount paid!! I don't have the time nor do I want to go back to Walmart to do a price comparison on those items!! I did notice the cereal was a little cheaper but they NEVER put them on BOGO!! You will never beat a grocery store sale with Walmart's "everyday prices"!
