While I was in Walmart yesterday (you will read that post next), I decided to price-check a few items there vs Publix with their sale.
First I will post the Walmart price and then the Publix price with the sale. I will include any coupon (provided they scan at Walmart) on both items. Each line item is a quantity of two except the Smart Balance Milk and Land O Lakes Butter which is one.
2 Nestle Chocolate Chips $2.56/$.65 or $1.15 depending on which q's you have
2 Recee's Puffs/Lucky Charms $4.00/$1.99
2 Pompeian Olive Oil $8.56/$3.99
1 Land O Lakes Butter $3.48/$2.50 This is for one pkg.
2 Smart Balance Spread $3.96/$.59
1 Smart Balance Milk $1.79/$1.00
OK folks...here is the final total. I could keep going but you could see by the figures that the Publix total is considerably lower than the Walmart total. The totals are...drumroll please...
WALMART $24.35
PUBLIX $10.72
You just saved 56% by shopping at Publix
As you know, when you buy the items that are on sale each week at their lowest price, you will save 50% and more on your grocery total. So when I can get Nestle Chocolate Chips at this time of year for $.32 a pkg (they don't expire until June 2013), I try to buy as many as I can to get me through the next sale. I have already bought 6 and will buy 2 more before the current ad is over. I'll throw them in my freezer and when I want to make chocolate chip cookies, I will have them!
Like Angela said in the next post, Walmart is not just an adventure, it is a nightmare!
