Product availability was seriously lacking at Walmart, and the checkout line was ridiculous. Now, I do most of my grocery shopping at Publix, but I can afford it. I do take advantage of the Publix BOGOs that come out on Saturday. You can almost always get half price on ice cream, coffee, cheese, and other products. I buy a lot of non-perishable products from Amazon. Paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, soap, batteries, beverages, cleaning products, napkins, vitamins, medicine, etc. Cheaper and more convenient.

By the way, I just received 14 bars of Dove bar soap from Amazon that I ordered yesterday. $1.15 per bar. The Walmart price was $1.50 per bar.
