I did a direct compare on the handful of items I was planning to buy between the Neighborhood and the one on 466. They were the same. This was about 2 months ago.

[QUOTE=Michael G.;2055960]I was told there is a difference in prices between the Walmart in TV,

TV Walmart charges more because it's in TV.

Any Walmart shoppers notice this?



The sales tax are lower in Lady Lake, Summerfield and Leesburg plus prices are slightly adjusted to the market area was the explanation from one of the managers I asked several years ago.

What is the name of the app you use. Thanks

We noticed the price of milk on the Walmart on 466 was much higher than the Walmart food center in Colony. Comparison shopping these days is difficult because prices change daily

Prices do vary based on demographics. We've been going to the one in Leesburg on 441. I've read some of the comments below and can honestly state we haven't had any issues there. It's a much larger store than the others albeit older. The prices on many products at that location are less than the two in TV

You have been down the cell disbelief before. It’s ok no one cares if you don’t carry one or can’t use one. However if you don’t have first have first hand knowledge of Walmart, why expect someone to do your research.

I can give you the exact answer to your question, but I would have to use my cell, so I won’t.

Wow, that escalated quickly.

An example, .75 cents more on a gallon of milk. As for publix, i've been to the one in tv and in my area an hour away, and didn't find no price differences in products.

Yes very true. Regardless of your choice Walmart prices vs competition. Little or no competition means higher prices.(and why wouldn’t they). No competition means no reason for extra discount. If you travel much it becomes very clear when shopping at Walmart.

Boilerman 02-02-2022 09:03 AM

The Walmart Neighborhood stores are not privately owned. They are owned by Walmart.

OhioBuckeye 02-02-2022 09:22 AM

This is just my opinion but I think it’s volume, truckers are being held up from getting & bringing merchandise. So Walmart might have to raise prices because their volume is low. Our country is in shambles right now!

ILLINOIS RAY 02-02-2022 09:28 AM

Walmart Pricing
 
Walmart does not buy from different wholesalers. They buy all direct, with exception of possibly some local produce. Both Walmarts in area would have all their product coming from sale location.

There are many reasons. They buy merchandise from different wholesalers or directly from the manufacturer. Some store plow advertising dollars into reducing the price while others use the money as profit. Some stores are based on volume, others are based on profit, or any combination.


MrFlorida 02-02-2022 09:46 AM

Prices do vary , not only in the Walmart's, other stores do the same.

In general though you're going to pay less at Wal-mart than at Publix, and less at Aldi than at Wal-mart. But other than savings, you're going to get less in other areas that impact how we shop as well. Publix has just about everything including knowledgeable store personnel, nice wide aisles, display layouts that make sense and are easy to reach, and (on the whole) polite shoppers, but
those perks cost money and that money comes from increased prices. Wal-mart means lower prices but also narrow aisles, people pawing over the produce that from the looks of them you should be social-distancing maybe 20 feet instead of six, narrow aisles with merchandise often stacked beyond your reach (and no store clerk available to help you), etc. Aldi lowest price of all, by a lot, but a VERY limited selection.

That's one of the nice things about TV. If the stores you shop at are close to one another (Wal-Mart, Publix and Aldi all in the space of less than a mile drive) you can comparison-shop and save some real money by so doing.

Should all stores have the same prices?

What's the solution to this problem? Maybe a law so that all prices across America are the same?

How long did it take to shop at all the Walmarts? There's over 11,000 of them!

nancyre 02-02-2022 05:24 PM

Not hard to check just use the walmart app or computer - put an order into the cart and then change locations. FYI I shop 466 and 441 in Leesburg/Fruitland park and well as the neighborhood market.

This IS the definitive answer. To expand on this, Walmart posts their prices for each location online. No need to speculate. All you need to do is open up the Walmart app and check the price at the two locations you are concerned about.

Imagine what we pay on high priced items like cars, appliances, golfcarts, etc

Walmart Stores are NOT All Priced The Same

Sorry, but that is not true.
There are price differences on items which can vary from store to store.
The neighborhood stores usually are slightly more expensive.

Exactly. If an Aldi or Lidl is nearby, and often they are build within a block or two, that Walmart will have lower prices on eggs, milk and other items that the competition carries. Eggs can be half the price of other nearby Walmarts versus the Walmart next to an Aldi or other discount grocery.

You can use the Walmart app to plan your shopping trip. Load up a shopping cart as if you are going to do a pickup. Then back out of the cart and change the store for pickup. Then look in the cart gain and you will see the prices changed to reflect the new store's prices. I do this every time I shop.

The Walmart App used to be easier to compare prices because you could pick a single item, like 36ct eggs, and then immediately do a "find in nearby stores" and you would see the price for the 36ct eggs at the six closest Walmarts. However, Walmart changed the App and it is not a easy as before. In fact, there was a period at the beginning of the new App version where you couldn't even do the cart comparison I described in the 2nd paragraph.

I used 36ct eggs has an example because they can be $2.20 at one store and $5.00 at the rest and I always get 3 x 36ct, so that's a $7.50 savings on that one item. Milk can be $1-$2 difference between Walmart near Aldi and the other Walmarts. Like I said, other staples that Aldi carries are often cheaper at the nearby Walmart.

I have noticed that Walmart might raise the price on other items (e.g., beer by $1, non-staples, etc.) to make up for the loss-leader prices on the eggs, milk and other staples that they have to compete with Aldi on.

Sorry, but no they're not. Check the egg, milk, and other staples prices of the Walmarts near Aldi and the Walmarts not near Aldi using the Walmart App.

BigSteph 02-02-2022 09:38 PM

I think both of the superstores on 44` are rough.

I find the one near Martin Luther King Jr & 441 to be the roughest. I wouldn't go there at night. The one at the top of TV on 441 is also interesting.

The one on 466 is not so bad -- my wife and I have been there numerous times in evening.

The one on 466A, the Neighborhood Market is nice, but the place is a wreck with snow-storm ravaged shelves many of the times I've visited.

As far as price, I've not noticed. My wife would know and yet she has never mentioned it, so I don't know.

Your definitive answer is the WRONG answer. The WalMart app gives the same online price for every store, unless you use WalMart Plus (their Prime equivalent ) on your phone while at Walmart using their WiFi.

To demonstrate, let’s use a gallon of 2% Great Value Milk:
(See attachments)

The cheapest milk is at the Walmart Supercenter on 441 in Summerfield FL at
$2.58.

The most expensive is the Supercenter on Wedgewood at $4.87

So I just went on my Walmart app and it show the 446 milk priced at $2.58

If this is true, there could be many reasons, one being that their overhead costs are higher. Maybe they are paying higher rent for the building in TV or paying higher wages, etc. If they actually own the building maybe the property taxes are higher in TV. Lots of factors go into pricing. If you are concerned about this, then you can choose to shop at the store with the lower prices.

Have seen police monitoring parking lot…saw a drug deal going down once while driving thru far end of parking area…but, there are bad people everywhere….not just Walmart parking lot….
