Grocery store options

[Epcot242]

Hello!

We'll be going to WDW in a few weeks for about 10 days. Typically, we go to Goodings for groceries since all we usually get is breakfast food, snacks, drinks, and a six pack or so. Where else do you guys do your shopping? Is it worth it to drive further for cheaper prices (makes me cringe to spend $7 on a box of cereal)? Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

I know Goodings is right by the Hotel Plaza blvd entrance to Disney but quite simply the only customers this place gets are a few tourists who don't want to go too far away.Twenty years ago Goodings had a few more stores(now they only have the one by DTD) and it was actually nice,expensive but nice.Today it's still super expensive and not nice,the last time I went in there half the shelves were empty,carpet was ripped and the lighting was super dim like they were trying to save money.If you want to stay relatively close to this area just go to the Winn Dixie about 1/2 a mile north of the Goodings on the same street(535,Apopka Vineland rd).The main Florida grocery store is Publix,there's hundreds all over, I literally have about 10-12 within a 15 minute drive of my house in every direction.There's one close to the Orlando Premium Outlets Vineland ave location.Go south on 535,go under the I-4 overpass,get on the left lane and turn left on Vineland,you will pass the outlets on your right and the Publix will be right around the curve on your left.The other options are Whole Foods on the corner of Turkey lake rd and Sand lake rd,the Wal Mart supercenters,there's one just west of the Whole Foods on Turkey Lake rd which I think is the newest and nicest in the area.If you want there's also a Publix on Sand lake rd right by the Whole Foods and the Wal Mart,just turn left from Turkey lake rd onto Sand Lake rd.Another option are the Super Targets.
