How many of you guys have seen the new commercials from Walmart claiming that their prices beat Publix by up to 20%. I will be honest, every time I see one it irritates me and makes me just want to scream!
There is so much missing from those commercials that I thought it might be a good idea to do a little test of my own and see who is really the winner in the price comparison of Publix vs Walmart!
In case you guys have not seen them, let me give you a quick summary of what you will see in the commercials.
They took several stay at home moms here in Atlanta and had them do a side by side comparison of the prices of specific items purchased at Walmart and Publix. The commercials show the ladies going through clean, well stocked Walmart stores. Overall it was a fun commercial that showed Walmart shopping in a very positive light. At the end, the results indicate that by shopping at Walmart the ladies saved on average 20% over identical items purchased at Publix.
