ALDIs itself has different prices. One on 466a priced different than 301 Manager admitted to me it was based on immediate competition

TV Walmart charges more because it's in TV.

Any Walmart shoppers notice this?

Thanks
Not sure about Walmart but definitely the case with Publix

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

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

Why the rude, nasty comment???

I hope you never have an emergency when you need one, but if you don't have one, whatever the outcome will serve you right!

P.S. Learn to spell!

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.

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
