Walgreens is convenient for my prescriptions and Publix for groceries. I'm not a fan of Walmart especially their grocery. I'm not sure what kind of dollar value you put on convenience or service but Walgreens and Publix have convenience and service here in The Villages. They get my vote (business).

We just started using OptumRX for our prescriptions. Wow! Big savings over Walgreens, and the refills magically appear in our mailbox. No more waiting in lines at Walgreens! I wasn't sure I could deal with another winter of long lines and refill delays. 2 of my 4 meds are free at Optum Rx. One of those is a migraine med that I paid $60 for at Walgreens. I am thrilled!

I can't wait for the Wal-Mart to open in the Colony area. All of these people complaining about Publix and wanting the Wal-Mart Grocery will be out of my way while I am shopping at Publix. The second reason is all of these Wal-Mart shoppers are going to be moaning about traffic and parking at the new store. We can all laugh and say "you asked for it..... "

Can someone please explain how we (whomever "we" is?) are a captive buying group? No one is forced to shop anywhere. For those that have limited mobility, there are many online stores that sell anything anyone could need. Different people have different reasons for purchasing items at any number of locations, whether they are brick and mortar or online. For me it is usually convenience. For someone else it could be price, for others it could be a combination of these or any number of other factors. Some like Wal-mart, some don't. Some like Publix, some don't, etc. I don't have the answers, just wondering what makes us (Villagers, I am presuming) a captive buying group?

If you want the cheapest, go to Aldi.

BTW Are we getting a new Aldis across from Pineles as stated?

Aldi's is supposed to be in the Trailwinds Village development on 466A just west of Buena Vista (same development as where Lowes is being built). Don't know when Aldi's will open, but it is shown on the web site of Barclay Group, the developer of Trailwinds Village.
