Grocery Shopping & more Grocery Shopping: A Quick Price Comparison – @Publix v @Kroger
Posted by Warm Southern Breeze on Tuesday, October 20, 2015
As a general rule, I don’t shop at Publix because the prices are higher.
Until now, that’d been only a casual observation.
I had never formally price checked… until now.
Recently, I decided to purchase some groceries at Publix only because the store was conveniently along my route.
My preference continues to be for Kroger.
The 11 items purchased at Publix were:
1 – 1 pound extra sharp cheddar cheese
1 – 3 pound bag sweet onions
1 – cauliflower head
1 – gallon whole milk
1 – 1.5 dozen (18) Large eggs
1 – spring salad mix (store brand)
1 – bag baby spinach
1 – bag grapes white seedless
1 – bag Romaine hearts
1 – bag spring salad mix (store brand)
1 – eye of round beef roast
| Grocery Item | Publix | Kroger |
| Extra sharp Cheddar cheese (store brand)/lb | $6.29 | $3.99 |
| 3 pound bag sweet onions | $3.99 | -not available- |
| 5 pound bag sweet onions | -not available- | $3.99 |
| cauliflower head | $3.49 | $3.79 |
| whole milk, gallon | $2.49 | $2.00 |
| spinach, baby | $2.79 | $2.49 |
| grapes, white seedless/lb | $2.49 | $1.99 |
| Romaine hearts | $3.99 | $2.99 |
| spring salad mix | $2.50 | $2.50 |
| eye of round beef roast/lb | $4.99 | $5.99 |
| eggs, Large, 18 | $3.45 | $3.39 |
| TOTAL | $36.47 | $33.12 |

I didn’t know Kroger was in the south (Publix I know well because one of my cousins was a manager there), but here up north Kroger is big-time (we have so many of them here in suburbia). I’ve always been partial to them…
