Publix or Walmart

[eblue43]

Hi there everyone

Has anybody out there got any knowledge or info on the above supermarkets, i.e a web site where we can look at goods and prices, of the local Orlando Stores, look forward to reading your replies thankyou.

Walmart is generally cheaper, but if it's a food shop you're after, Publix is better quality with better choices. They are really a food only supermarket - they don't sell much else - Walmart is the shop for virtually everything you can think of ie housewares, electronics, cd's, toys, clothing. The list goes on!

The websites are:-

www.publix.com

www.walmart.com

We like both. We do a big Walmart shop on our first morning and then we pop to Publix for fresh milk, bread and treats later in the holiday. Walmart is great but it is so big you end up spending ages in there. Not something everyone wants to do (including our DD2!!)

if your parents are elderly and fussy, i would stay away from walmarts....an awful place in my opinion (i'm not elderly, but older and definitely fussy)...

for food i would go to either publix or winn dixie, whatever is closer to where you are....both are nice big supermarkets with a huge selection....

Just out of interest which would be the best supermarket to go to which is near Highlands Reserve.

Personally I would go for Publix which is not to far from you for fresh food like breads, fruits & veg. Wal-Mart in my opinion is great for electricals, cds & household stuff. Tinned stuff & drinks are very similar at both. The Wal-Mart does however have a lot better toiletries & pharmacy IMHO.

Thanks for that, will just have to give them both a try....

We always go to Wal-mart on our first morning, as our body clocks have us all up at about 5 O'Clock . Walmart is open 24/7 so it's a good way to pass a few hours before everything else gets going.

why not try supper target there is a new one oppened on 192 if you head out of disney at the crossroads and turn right think its sr535 and when you hit the 192 turn left and its half a mile on left also there is a new walmart just before you hit the 192 on the right using the same route

I personally prefer Publix, Walmart is a brilliant place as well though.

Maybe it's worth bearing in mind that 'Walmarts' is basically 'Asda'

IMHO all the supermarkets are worth a visit but the 'Target' stores were much better for household items - such as theme bedding / lamps / rugs etc.

'Walmart' 'won' when it came to cheap luggage and loads of 'fun' bakery stuff

Super Target is the place to be. Its the only place you can find without loads of Brits looking for Heinz Beans.

ROFLMAO!
Yes, which one you want is dependant upon if you shop in this country at Waitrose, Tescos or Asda/Lidl/Aldi

Nothing wrong with Heinz beans
We'd have to be in a pretty bad state of withdrawal to pay the prices though

We used Publix and there was a huge variety, plus it's right next to Summer Bay which makes it super convenient (it's also next door to the Denny's we tend to eat in on the first night.)

Does anyone know where I could pick up cheap stuff for a MNSSHP costume? I'm thinking cheap plastic wand, tiara and fairy wings?
