Publix vs. Kroger

                                                    This is my Publix run....

                                                     This is my Kroger run....
The difference in the amount spent between the stores was $1.34.  Now tell me Publix is more expensive than Kroger.... :)

I know I'm zoning in on many products that are on sale and one that is not, but it's just crazy to me that for 1 gallon of OJ, I can buy almost everything in that first picture!

Total before coupons & store sales at Publix : $45.17
