WALMART VS PUBLIX SHOPPING TRIP

When I teach a class, I tell everyone you will never match a grocery store sale with Walmart's "Everyday Low Price". Here is a perfect example. I had to go to Walmart to get a few things. Thankfully, since using coupons, those trips have become far and few between! Here are the results:

THE FIRST AMOUNT IS WALMART AND THE SECOND IS PUBLIX
4 Bertolli Pasta/Alfredo Sauce $ 8.48 $ 1.59
3 All Detergent 5.91 3.00
3 Clorox Bleach 5.58 FREE
2 V8 Juice 5.56 4.60
4 Uncle Bens Wild Rice 4.00 2.00
1 Cottege Cheese 4 pack 1.00 .50
2 Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta 1.50 .50
1 Birds Eye Vegetable 1.28 .39
22 Hunts Tomatoes 17.88 5.29

THE TOTAL FOR WALMART WAS $53.62 AND THE TOTAL FOR PUBLIX $22.31

If I had a coupon for $.55 off an item, I took it off each side to compare apples to apples. I also got 3 Chobani Yogurt for FREE, 2 Chinet Plates for FREE, and 2 Colgate Toothpaste for $.24 each. I did not add those in the total as I did not know Walmarts price.

Many people think (as I did) when you go to Walmart you save money. Yes, some prices are cheaper there. But when you learn to shop differently and use grocery store sales, your trips to Walmart will be far and few between! YIPEE! That is definitely something to get excited about!
