The prices are not half the cost of those at Publix, but there is a significant difference between what Publix may charge versus Aldi's and/or Walmart.
Walmart has an excellent fruit pie for $3.98. The Publix price is a few dollars more for the same type of pie.
Publix charges at least $.10 more per can than Walmart, for Friskies cat food.
Aldi's will charge $1.29 for a pineapple. I defy you to find anything near that kind of price at Publix.
They charge one price for a large bag of grapes -- not by the pound.
Their Romaine lettuce comes in a bag of three and costs about what you pay for one head at Publix.
They have a terrific chocolate cream cake for $2.99. You will never find that at Publix.
There are many examples of the differences in pricing and overall -- you definitely are speaking about more than just a few cents!
I am not speaking about what someone can afford.
It all comes down to being a smart shopper, but some people just don't care.
