Poll Question:
We are always amazed at how many things you can get in the supermarkets in Florida compared to home.

You can spend hours there without even noticing the time!

Which one do you prefer?

I've amended the poll, as I had missed off an important one! Sorry CDV

Choices:
Walmart
Publix
Albertsons
Walgreens
7 Eleven
Winn Dixie
Target/Super Target
Other

(Anonymous Vote)

I voted Publix as it is bright, well laid out and good produce. That's for grocery shopping though. It's always lovely and quiet and no queues at the tills (when we have been anyway!). Even on Christas Eve we sailed through the checkouts! (the Publix on the 192 at Berry Town Centre).

I love Walmart for non grocery items though!

I agree with Dianne. Walmart is less than a mile for us but if we need something on the way back to the villa, it's Publix for us.

For food we always use Publix but if we want anything else for the villa will visit Walmart.

I voted Walmart as it is so close to us and I seem to go at least once a day!
We don't tend to buy much food when we are in Florida as we eat out for most meals.
It's usually just highly nutritious things like ice cream, cakes, soft drinks and beer!!

Have to say Wal-mart for us as it is only a 5 minute walk from the villa and so convenient.

Definitely Publix if it is for grocery shopping, but Walmart would be my choice for the entertainment value!

Oh dear, this is really difficult! For food we love Publix which is just 2 minutes away from us, as they offer a good range of high quality food, good prices and excellent service. We particularly love their deli counter, where you can 'try before you buy.'

But if I want to lose a few hours than it has to be the lovely new Walmart 2 minutes away from us as there is always so much to see. When my daughter and I get in there my husband sometimes thinks we have been abducted, as we simply disappear for hours! Luckily my husband is happy to sit and watch the world go by.

But then there is Target - which is another favourite as I love looking at all their towels and bedding - and I can never resist their lovely fluffy towels which we buy for home as well as our villa.

So now how do I vote?

I dont have the option to vote now...boo hoo.

Super Target for me and then Publix, my love affair with Wal*Mart has dwindled and where I used to spend all day in there I can get round it in a couple of hours.

Don't like Winn Dixie.

Looking forward to their Mountain Bread in 2 days time
