Over the last 7 years of running Southern Savers I have met so many people that are true Walmart loyalist. Blindly heading to Walmart though could be a pricey mistake. The problem with heading here for all your groceries though is that you really aren’t getting the savings that they make you think you’re getting.
I walked a local Walmart to get their “always low prices” for each item on sale this week at Publix. After lots of math, I think you’ll be a little surprised at the savings. I’m pretty sure the numbers will speak for themselves.
If you are new to this, start at the Learn to Coupon Page to learn all about using coupons.
With Coupons
Publix – all B1G1 items + sale items with coupons: $169.87
Walmart – Same items with same coupons: $260.93
(you save $91.06 in Publix!)
Publix (no doubles) – B1G1 sale items & coupons: $177.13
(you save $83.80 in Publix!)
Without Coupons
Publix Sales – $222.01
Walmart Always Low Prices – $295.42
(you save $73.01 at Publix!)
A few notes:
1. Publix is running a massive ad with over 78 buy one get one deals.
2. Math was done assuming you bought one of each item. If you buy more, your savings would only go up!
3. Where a store had a house brand B1G1 a similar Walmart house brand price was found.
4. Remember with most Walmart stores not doubling coupons and not accepting competitor or store coupons, that the coupon savings in a grocery is always better!
5. Obviously you aren’t going to buy every single B1G1 item, this is just a way to show the numbers.
