We did a lot of grocery shopping during our Disney
trip and were concerned that groceries in Florida (particularly around Disney)
were more expensive than what we are used to in Upstate New York. So, I did a
study. I tried to align similiar products and sizes whenever possible.
I compared the grocery prices between:
- Walmart on Rt 27 (which has similiar prices compared to Walmarts in upstate New York)
- Publix on Rt 192
- Market Place on Rt 192
- Target on Rt 192
- Wegmans in Upstate New York
The results? Generally speaking, Walmart had the cheapest groceries. In a close second was Wegmans in Upstate New York. The worse place to shop was the Market Place.
Milk is generally more expensive in Florida than Update New York:
Wegmans: $2.49
Publix: $4.09
Walmart: $4.38
Loaf of Cinamon Bread shows a strong contrast in prices:
Walmart $2.98
Wegmans $3.49
Publix $3.99
Marketplace $3.99
Another example is a box of Hunts Chocolate Pudding cups:
Walmart: $2.78
Wegmans $2.79
Publix: $2.99
Marketplace $3.69
There was a $.30 price difference between what we were used to paying for Hamburger Buns and what we paid at The Marketplace:
Wegmans: $1.29
Target: $1.39
Publix: $1.39
Walmart $1.48
MarketPlace $1.59
But generally speaking, Walmart had the cheapest prices on most items. And therefore by using Walmart, groceries in the Disney area are not more expensive than what we are used to in Upstate New York. You can see the entire list here:
