Once in a great while I might stop at Publix if they have a sale on an item I need. For example, I drink Gatoraide Zero and I like the blue flavor and sometimes Walmart is out, and Publix will have a sale 2 eight packs for $10, which is Walmart's regular price. Also we like the small cans of Campbell's Baked Beans, and Colony Walmart doesn't stock any Campbell's so once a month or so, we'll go to the Walmart on 466 or Summerfield, to buy them and a usually a few other items which only the big store has.

Shopping at Walmart saves us about $25 a week over Publix, so we always went to the big Walmart, now we don't have to drive ten miles, only 3 miles to Colony and easier to park and get in and out. Plus my wife and I moved our prescriptions from Walgreens to Walmart since Colony opened. At Walgreens her eye drops were $135 for 2 bottles, and at Walmart they give her 3 bottles, and all the drugs overall are cheaper. I also buy my gas at that Walmart, it convenient since I'm already there.

I buy the Gatorade Zero on Amazon, but the price has been changing a lot lately. Sometimes the price is really low. It's nice to have it delivered to your house in a day or two.
