Why - Big Price Difference between Walmart and Winn Dixie
 
Why does a jar of Kraft mayo cost $5.98 at Winn Dixie and only $2.98 at Wal Mart.

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

No Dukes

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

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

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!!!

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.

Good reasons

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:
