From: "Gary Britt" 

Publix are good stores.  One of my preferences when a super Wal Mart is not
available, but the Super Wal Marts are significantly cheaper that Publix as
well.  Wal Mart will have some things as much as 40% and 50% cheaper than
other food stores.  Somethings will only be 10% cheaper.  A few might be
comparably prices.  Probably an average of 20% cheaper.  These are just
non-scientific guesses on my part.
