Why - Big Price Difference between Walmart and Winn Dixie

[Warren Kiefer]

Why does a jar of Kraft mayo cost $5.98 at Winn Dixie and only $2.98 at Wal Mart.

[dbussone]

Why do you buy Kraft? Everyone knows Hellmans tastes better. Even their commercials say so.

[rubicon]

No Dukes

[dbussone]

No Dukes


Hmmm. Never tried that. Should I?

[kittygilchrist]

Agree with Rubicon on this one.
One reason Why is WD is higher than anybody on most everything...but that is a large gap!

[justjim]

Its a bigger jar.

[dbussone]

Well there you go! That problem is solved. Now can we go back to my question about Dukes please. ::jester::

[gomoho]

cause they can?

[Sandtrap328]

I have stopped shopping at Winn-Dixie for a couple of reasons.

First, in order to get ANY of their advertised specials, you need their shopper card with you.

Another reason is that if they gave "buy two at --" , you have to buy two of them. At Publix, you can buy one at half the special price of two. I always do not need or want two of something.

Give me Publix anyday!!!

[anaug67171]

Winn Dixie has no cache seems like it was just thrown
Together! I am back home in
Scarsdale and the stores
Have style!!

[CFrance]

Hmmm. Never tried that. Should I?
Yes! We were solid Hellman's fans forever till we found Dukes. I was looking for low-sugar recipes and read about Dukes on a recipe web site. It's wonderful. Try a small jar of it. We liked it so much we mail-ordered it to MI back before we moved (free shipping).

There's no sugar in it.

You don't have to present the card. I have an electronic version on my smart phone. My wife uses my cell number associated with the card. If I buy 1 of a 2fer, I get the same deal as Publix AND I get fuel perks. Right now I qualify for $0.70 off per gallon of the diesel I use in our cars. I like Publix, but I have saved money since I switched to WD, and been pleased with their product.

Pubiclix (yes I miss spelled intentionlly) just as outrageous as WD on prices. Matter fact all groceries are higher this year and in land of milk and honey! Wait
till the egg and chicken crisis hits? Wally World and Aldis has them both beat!
Haven't tried Target yet never think of going there.

On average we have experienced a 100% increase on groceries, especially meat and produce, in this country since 2008. I can't explain why the gov't hasn't picked this up in the cost of living. Maybe they believe food is no longer required for everyday life.

Both good reasons,especially, the card. If I was Emperor, all shopping cards would be illegal and also all coupons. Just sell the items at the lowest possible price.

Anybody know what Useful data could be collected by the use of that shopping card? :read:

Ahhhh, but that's Scarsdale! Beautiful! (and you're absolutely correct about style!)

[dbussone]

Ahhhh, but that's Scarsdale! Beautiful! (and you're absolutely correct about style!)

There are always alternatives. NE and Boston have "beautiful" stores as well. But I prefer FL so I will stay here and enjoy WD, Publix, Fresh Market, etc. if I feel really hard up (which I won't) I'll go to The Meat Market in Orlando or any number of many other places between here and Orlando with excellent meats, fish, and produce. Cache is just that cache - worthless but a justification for beautiful & stylish prices.

[karostay]

You need the card to pay for what you would normally pay at any other store
They make a big deal you just saved $$$$$

No you didn't rip me off as and bad and the public falls for it

[dbussone]

Without using my card, and comparing prices, I found WD to be less expensive. I tracked prices for purchases for about 2 months before I requested a card. Most of our purchases are for produce, certain meats, and some tonic (sodas). I tend to buy bulk products at Sams.

[redwitch]

If you don't have a card, WD checkers will use the store card, just ask.

And Duke's is definitely better than Hellsman, or any other mayo sold around here.

[Happinow]

Actually, you don't have to have your card with you.....just give them the phone number the card is registered under and you can get the discount!

Ok. I will give Duke's a try.

[PammyJ]

Dukes is great! Really good in pasta salads! It tastes like mayo with a bit of Miracle Whip mixed in.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

I think that it's because Winn Dixie charges more.

[virgind]

Why do you shop at W D or Walmart when you can go to Aldi or Save A lot get the same quality for much less. And why do you have that car insurance.

[graciegirl]

Where is Scarsdale and what is Cache'? And the answer is Hellmanns.

[Wandatime]

Oh, boo. I am going to have to respectfully disagree with Graciegirl on this one. Duke's is the Secret to Southern Cooking. There is no sugar in Duke's like there is in Hellman's. Hellman's is salad dressing. Duke's is Mayonnaise with a capital M. Sorry, Graciegirl. Let's do lunch soon!

[Cisco Kid]

I like peanut butter.

[graciegirl]

I was thinking the same thing. At my house, The usual bunch?

Did you know German descendants put sugar in their slaw and in their potato salad and in their red tomato spaghetti sauce?

I am now a southern woman of German descent. Maybe if I bought Duke's and put a teaspoon of sugar in it................

:agree:

Dukes! Dukes! Dukes! Better at any price.

[Chatbrat]

Walmart is so huge they dictate prices to their suppliers

[Villager Joyce]

I'm not siding with anyone. I am stating from the food wrapper: Hellmann's Light Mayonnaise has <1g of sugar. On second thought I would like to side with Cisco Kid. I like peanut butter, but only Jif crunchy.

[graciegirl]

Walmart is so huge they dictate prices to their suppliers


You are right. They have a BIG pencil and enormous buying power. If you can sell your product to them, you do it pretty much their way and on their terms and their price.

That is why I shop there for a number of things. They are just plain cheaper..

[DougB]

Mayo is mayo. Don't really care what brand it is.

[wudda1955]

Walmart has stores all around the country (world?). They can buy from the manufacturer in larger quantities. Larger quantities, lower price, which they pass on to their customer. Winn-Dixie is a considerably smaller franchise and they can't get the same deals from the manufacturer.

[Wandatime]

Mayo is mayo. Don't really care what brand it is.


Oh, the horror! :eek:

I am weeping for you, DougB, weeping.

Sounds wonderful! I have heard tales about the Germans and their love of sugar. Many years ago I had a German friend serve me a wonderful cucumber dish made with mayonnaise or sour cream, I don't know which, vinegar and sugar. It was wonderful and I can not seem to replicate it. Maybe because I'm using Dukes, LOL!

[wudda1955]

I have heard tales about the Germans and their love of sugar.

That explains my husband, then. He's of German descent and, I swear, he is addicted to sugar!

[CFrance]

I like peanut butter.
Yes! Peanut butter is better than Dukes, which is better than Hellmans, but not in egg salad.:loco:

So do I. It's the PA Dutch influence. Or my mom's French Huguenot heritage. Slaw/potato salad/egg salad/macaroni salad--mayo, sugar and vinegar. Tomato sauce--I don't know what that influence that is, but IMO tomato sauce needs a little sugar to cut the acid. It "makes" the sauce.

I don't think it's the lack of sugar that makes Dukes taste better. You can't even detect the taste of the sugar in Hellmans. Dukes is just a great taste. And I was a lifelong Hellmans fan.

Miracle Whip is salad dressing, but Hellmans is mayo, and good. Dukes just edges it out a bit with a je ne sais quoi element. Only my opinion, though.:wave:

[perrjojo]

Why does a jar of Kraft mayo cost $5.98 at Winn Dixie and only $2.98 at Wal Mart.

Because if you wait for a BOGO its the same price.

I put a little bit of sugar in my sauce and my slaw dressing.

[joldnol]

Walmart is the first retailer in history to dictate what they will pay for products. Because they are the biggest they can say jump and manufacturers say how high. That and the fact they treat employees horribly.

[jblum315]

Dukes is better than others, even better than Hellmanns

[Sable99]

I've never heard of Dukes and will have to try it! We use Kraft here. Mom has psorsiases (sp?) and Hellman's really flares them up!

[justjim]

A bit off the subject but Wal Mart certainly has put a lot of smaller businesses out across the country with their buying power and selling tactics. Bad, good or indifferent each of us probably has an opinion about Wal Mart.

Some think that a company can get "too big". Wal Mart recently has started to struggle with that problem as profits have fallen.

[TheVillageChicken]

Actually, you don't have to have your card with you.....just give them the phone number the card is registered under and you can get the discount!

That is true, but you don't get the fuel perks when you do that.
As for mayo, my favorite is New Orleans' own Blue Plate brand.

[LndLocked]

Yep .... they buy the mayo by the train load (literally) and dictate to the manufactures.

They pay the rank&file worker poverty wages and the Waltons are at the top of the 1%'ers list.

[graciegirl]

Do you think they pay their employees less than Target, or Kohls or Publix?

Usually pay scale is indicated by the level of expertise and skill not the success of the business..

OK, so why is Hellmans mayo $5.98 at Winn Dixie and only $2.98 at Wal Mart ??

Absolutely !!!!! Mini marshmallows in slaw is wonderful. We love having what we call sweet spaghetti and salmon patties. Actually we use elbow macaroni, tomato sauce. a touch of butter and maybe a half cup of sugar.

[Warren Kiefer]

Walmart has stores all around the country (world?). They can buy from the manufacturer in larger quantities. Larger quantities, lower price, which they pass on to their customer. Winn-Dixie is a considerably smaller franchise and they can't get the same deals from the manufacturer.

But double the price is a lot. What about Aldis who is a small chain selling mayo even less than WalMart ?????

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

Nope, same size. Where did you get your bigger jar information??

I'm telling you. It's because Winn Dixie charges more for that jar of mayonnaise.

[beachx4me]

Hmmm. Never tried that. Should I?

Dukes is the one!!!

[Warren Kiefer]

We have this dish quite a lot. Try our recipe.
4 Sliced cucumbers, 2 sliced onions separated into rings.
cover with cold water, add 1 tbsp. salt, soak 30 minutes, then drain well.

Beat together; 1 cup sour cream
2 1/2 tbsp. cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Pour over cucumbers and onions. Let marinate at least a day, gets better the longer it marinates

[Justus]

But double the price is a lot. What about Aldis who is a small chain selling mayo even less than WalMart ?????

We ordinarily like Aldi's brands very much. That said, we've tried their mayo on two occasions. Both times it separated into its components while in the fridge. It was probably ok to eat, but not very appetizing. Just trying to save you some money here...

[Warren Kiefer]

Because if you wait for a BOGO its the same price.

Ohhhhhhh! Thanks for the reminder. We used to have that all the time back in the '80s. I sometimes put dill in it.

Sometimes I do that with fresh tomatoes...oil/vinegar/sugar/salt and pepper. Yum.

[tomwed]

I don't trust Kraft. I never have.

In this commercial from 1958 they make a meal starting with a hot dog split in half, next it's stuffed with macaroni and cheese and finally smeared with mustard.

How can you trust a company that thinks that tastes good?

[CFrance]

Now that reminds me that some people back in my youth used to put sugar on tomatoes.

Your O/V/S/S/P combo sounds good. Now if we could get some decent home-grown tomatoes around here... (à la Ohio or Jersey or PA).

[Barefoot]

Have you made a price comparison of all the products you buy between WD, Publix, and Walmart? Every store has loss leaders and then jacks the price up on other items.

Here's what I think about Walmart: I don't know exactly what I think about Walmart.

For me it's a royal PIA to shop there. I'll stick to the smaller, less crowded stores and am very grateful that I can afford to pay higher prices to have a calmer shopping experience. I'm sorry if that sounds snotty, but grocery shopping is actually enjoyable for me--but not at Walmart. And we don't buy enough food to make that big a price difference over a year's time. However, I am glad it is there for the young families and others who absolutely need to or want to get lower prices on the food they buy the most of. The only time we go there is to get something in the non-food area, and if we happen to need groceries, we will get them while there. But generally we avoid the place, especially in the winter season.

I do not like their drive-Mom-and-Pop-businesses-out tactics, nor the fact that they got caught for charging less than break-even prices on things in stores located in areas where they wanted to drive out the competition. They are a prime example of corporate greed in my opinion. BUT, they do employ a lot of people. I don't know if they pay a fair wage equal to other companies equal to the skill level of the job, so I can't comment on that. So there's a lot of contradictions there.

[CFrance]

I cooked twice this week ! It wore me out !! :loco: Mac & cheese Saturday and pork chops Sunday !!
It was a nice thank you to my hubby. He bought me some pretty earrings while we were in St. Maarten for 2 weeks.
Done with that now ! Bye, bye stove ! :wave:

[gatherer47]

I agree with you. I also enjoy grocery shopping at some stores, Fresh Market, Aldi's and Save-A-Lot. Aldi's and Save a Lot is not a snotty experience. Aldi's in particular, at both locations you see many random acts of kindness.

Ouch! So true! But I don't eat a plant based diet. The closest I came was when my Nana would send me out to pick dandelions so she could make dandelion salad. Bitter, bitter, bitter! So that is why I shun plant based diets. That and the fact there are no, nada, true scientific double blinded studies in reputable scientific journals that support the hypothesis that they make a hill of beans difference. A person's genetic background has more influence. And....everything in moderation. Hooyaa!

Publix for the fresh bread and the $40 for a $50 gas card, Winn Dixie and Publix for the BOGOS, Target for pet food specials with gift cards and layering coupons with the Cartwheel app, Aldi for the ease of shopping and all the basics, Walmart when I have a bunch of assorted items to buy. I look at shopping as a sport.

What I love about TOTV is that a thread start can go in one of a thousand different directions, depending on the energy, enthusiasm and wit of the posters. This one did start as a cost question and could have been continued with posts about economics, politics, world order, the dollar versus the euro, labor costs, and a thousand different things. But no, we made it all about crazy mayo, and I love it!

This one did start as a cost question and could have been continued with posts about economics, politics, world order, the dollar versus the euro, labor costs, and a thousand different things. But no, we made it all about crazy mayo, and I love it!
You could call it a Mayo Clinic.

Blue Plate!!

Yes, Blue Plate is made with egg yolks, not whole eggs like the rest. That's how it should be.

Maybe I'll have to try Dukes. Hubby likes Miracle whip & I like Mayo. Maybe this will be a combo of both.

Okay, pbkmaine, you need to invite us over and show us how to make mayonnaise and aioli.


Anytime!

Now what do you think of marshmallow fluff. Nothing like a Fluffernutter!:MOJE_whot:

We ordinarily like Aldi's brands very much. That said, we've tried their mayo on two occasions. Both times it separated into its components while in the fridge. It was probably ok to eat, but not very appetizing. Just trying to save you some money here...

Aldis is not small.....they rule Europe

I agree with you. I also enjoy grocery shopping at some stores, Fresh Market, Aldi's and Save-A-Lot. Aldi's and Save a Lot is not a snotty experience. Aldi's in particular, at both locations you see many random acts of kindness.

Random acts of kindness. I run into them in so many places. Walmart and Publix and Aldi's.
