Best place for grocery shopping

Hi all,

We are staying onsite (OKW) with DDP but want to get some "snack" type items for the room/parks.

We have a car for the first time so able to travel. Which supermarket is the best for selection/price?

Thanks

Walmart is the biggest and best in my opinion, just be prepared that go in for a few things and leave with a trolley full!

Walmart and Publix (Publix is a bit nicer food)

We prefer Publix for food. Obviously Walmart is equivalent to our Asda, Publix is a step up.
If you only want snacks thought it's probably not going to make much difference x

It's personal choice but we found some things in Publix double what they are in Walmart so even a basket shop can add up. We generally do Walmart twice during the holidays and pick up wee bits in the dollar shops if we need them. We found Publix overpriced for what it is. Just my opinion though 😊

Thanks everyone. We go to Tesco for "essentials" and come out £100 lighter 😳

I would choose Winn Dixie for a proper food shop.
