Bummer to hear that!!
Personally, I cannot believe that so many people are brain-washed in to believing that that Walmart has the best prices.
I try to avoid Walmart as much as possible. Unfortunately, I do have to go in (WallyWorld) for a couple items (a particular mustard-style BBQ sauce only available in the south & Fels Naptha laundry soap bars) several times a month, that only they and Winn Dixie sells (naturally WM is cheaper than WD).
I had to wait on a prescription the other day and decided to do a bit of price checking. I only found 1 or 2 items that were cheaper in the grocery department (Cabot cheese & an off-brand 2.5 lb bag of pre-cooked sausage patties).
Remember, Publix runs at least 25-30 items EVERY week BOGO, where as Walmart does not. There always seems to be printable coupons or Manufacturer’s coupons that coincide with the sales at Publix – usually (I have found) 2 to 3 weeks after the coupons hit the paper or the printable company’s offer a coupon. I try to wait a bit to PRINT, so that the dates are better thus giving you more time to wait for a sale).
NOTE: That ‘combo’ coupon for – $1/2 Fab Dynamo Ajax Final Touch Niagara – is published 3 to 4 times a year, and it usually has a long expiry date. I usually wait for the Fab detergent to go on sale (usually every three weeks) – I LUV getting Fab detergent for only $1.50 per box!!
Publix promotes coupon users (within moderation) – Walmart does not allow Blinkie machines in their store or peelies (Q’s on products = I have actually heard a manager tell an employee to remove the coupons from the packaging of a product). They have also been known to remove products from the shelves, so they will not have to price-match (as their ad promotes).
I swear by Publix (No, I do not work there). Great deals and 99.999% a pleasure to shop there.
Still a great deal with just the Publix coup though. Plus, @me totally agree about Wally World. Always makes me think of Clark Griswald it’s called that:)
Too funny!
We have called it that for years!
BUT—we have also come up with some additional ‘alternative’ names for W@lmart, that cannot/could not be published on this site.
I also agree with what is said about Wal-Mart they would not accept my printable coupon the other day with the cashier telling me that it would not scan. However, I took my coupon to CVS and it scanned perfectly. I think the goal is to allow as few coupons as possible at Wal-Mart. With that said I am boycotting Wal-Mart. Sure I have to buy gallon sized vinegar bottles for my dishwasher and it cheapest there, but if they cannot accept my legal and scan able coupons I cannot accept being their loyal customer…
ewe – kewel! I learn something new every day!
Now, I will have to add ‘Gallon Jug of Vinegar’ to my dreaded shopping dash at Wal*art (f).
I was just looking up (on eHow) how to remove rust stains from shower stalls and it suggested vinegar (bleach didn’t work). I also have 5 vintage coffee makers & percolators to clean to resell.
Publix had a super deal on Clorox Bleach, plus using the printable manufacturer’s Q from Food Lion for .75 cents (made each bottle $1.25) it made a fantabulous deal.
I’ll have to grab a couple gallons when I go back for my BBQ sauce.
I too hate the mart but went there the other day for the meow mix variety packs. They are 5.76 at walmart and over $7 at Publix and Kroger. Of course my coupons (from an insert, not printable) wouldn’t scan, but, believe it or not the cashiers put them through after I insisted. Their first reaction is to hand back your coupon and say it didn’t scan.
I have tried Lysol Toilet bowl cleaner to clean hard water, soap scum, etc from my tile shower. it was super easy & worked fast. It may be strong, as the label states, but it saves lots of scrubbing & works quick- without the stink of bleach. It has an acid in it, so wear gloves.
Darn can’t use the excuse starch too expensive. I usually just throw my clothes back in dryer. While on topc of cleaning how do you get blood off khakis I cut myself but stain noticeable.
It is used in ironing clothes – to make them “stiffer” and hold out wrinkles longer. You spray it on the clothes right before you iron it. I try not to iron, so go through very little – LOL
Starch is something you spray on your clothes right before you iron them to get the wrinkles out. We used to heavily starch our jeans back in the 80s-90s, to where they were as stiff as cardboard, lol
This is awesome I need some starch time to stock up on this product and I completely agree about waly world I boycotted WalMart a while back I avoid that place..Walmart is not cheap…
Of course! The week after I pay full price at Walmart. Thank goodness it wasn’t too much.:-)

I definitely believe in going to regular stores verses Walmart to get the best deals. I just needed the starch then.
2/24/2012 insert?
Must be regional, not seeing it in the AJC insert

When its called that
Oh—-and yes, I went ahead and printed me 2 Publix Niagra Q’s from the Spring ‘coupon offering’. I can definitely use some fresh cans of starch spray.
It might even inspire me to preen some of my clothing – rather than having that ‘just-out-of-the-dryer-and-trampled-on-by-a-herd-of-buffalo’ look.
(chuckle-chuckle)

@Me, check your Publix for the Fels Naptha. I buy it at my Publix often – and at about the same price as WalMart.
We call it china-mart instead of walmart.
I hope you say the same about Target.
Many people criticize Walmart and give Target a pass for doing the exact same things.
And assh*le-mart!

Try cleaning it with peroxide. Let the peroxide soak through the garment to a paper towel. The blood should flow through with the peroxide
What is starch? This product, I’ve never purchased it before
