I prefer Publix because they have a better selection. Plus, Publix is below Hwy 44 there in Magnolia Plaza near the Everglades Rec Center (5 minutes from Fenny). Convenience is priceless.

I’ll 2nd that! Signed up for the delivery service 2 months ago and I am very satisfied with service & perks. App allows you to keep your grocery list current & build it as needed items are noted between order placements. Hit button when ready to order & pick a convenient time for delivery to your home in one-hour increments. Get real time item availability and once ordered, get ample time review order to make changes &/or approve substitutes. I’ll note that if If requested packaging size is unavailable, substitutions are made and typically plays out to lower price, even when non-Walmart brands get substituted. Other perks with their annual fee include gas discounts & free shipping on most items ordered from Walmart.com on-website where you typically buy non-grocery items that compete with Amazon. Definitely worth looking into!

Publix I found have increased prices on items delivered

Agree, was too lazy to drive to Walmart for some ribs to barbecue. Publix prices 29 to 39. Walmart prices 13-23. Publix in some areas are convenient and sometimes convenience worth the extra price. But, not on that day. :)

Walmart neighbor store in Colony Is great. Use it all the time.

Just in case you missed the news. Kroger is now making home delivery. Check out the new site at Kroger.com Your order comes out of the Groveland warehouse.

Kroger's is now offering delivery to the villages! They just built a distribution center nearby. Less expensive and way more choices. They are offering $10 off first three deliveries. Normal charge for delivery is up to $9.95 and they ask you don't tip their employees. My first delivery will arrive tomorrow! Yes I am excited!! Go to Kroger.com

Set up the Walmart ion 466 ! I’ve used them since February 2020 and it’s free!
They are about 20% cheaper than Publix and Winn Dixie is terrible. I also used Walmart.com for everything around the house. In 2 days or less !
I would never use anyone else. If you get anything not up to par they refund you immediately many times not bringing in the item to the store, especially the groceries ! The app is super easy, times offered are great and they want you happy !

Keep in mind once you sign up you will get the weekly specials sent to you by email. This is a real game-changer for the competition I love shopping at Publix but let's face it you do pay a little more. With prices going up each and every day we have to watch the old pocketbook.

Instacart
 

A little off topic, but we use Instacart for almost all groceries. For $99 per year for a membership we get unlimited free deliveries from Publix, Aldi, Freshmarket, Sams Club; as well as other non-grocery (CVS, pet store, liquor stores etc). Each of those stores has items that aren’t available at the others; so we can have all of our favs delivered; such as the awesome Napolian from Freshmarket. Saves time, money (because of less impulse buying compared to if you shopped in person) and gas. Started this due to the pandemic but now we’re permanent users of this service. The search function helps us comparison shop and discover new products.

Best Walmart for Pickup
 

Walmart at Wedgwood is our favorite! We live in Chitty Chatty & just head up 301 to 466 & you’re there. Should be a quick shot for you guys from Fenney. You’re right next to 301.
Welcome to The Villages! You’re gonna love it!! 😎

We have found all the local Wal-Mart stores to have excellent pick up service. Publix has made a huge mistake by associating with Instacart. The cost of items are increased, plus the added fees for the service is unacceptable. In addition, be advised that numerous complaints have been issued about the accuracy of the order fulfillment and the fee calculation. I suspect this decision made by Publix is damaging their business image.
