If staying in Seagrove...

Agree completely with SJ & Kurt about Publix. With the exception of the beach toys at the front of the store, I thought their prices were well in line with what I pay here at home. Even purchased a very nice blow dryer there and it was only $16. I don't think it would have been any cheaper at Wal-mart. With the price of gas and the traffic on 98, I wouldn't shop anywhere but Publix unless they didn't have something I needed.

P.S. And they don't even require you to sign up for a frequent shopper card to get sale prices (all the other grocery stores I know of have them.)

If we "have to" we go to the Wally world in PCB, Destin traffic is a nightmare Hope you have a great vacation !!!!!!!!!!

In 1992 we honeymooned in Seaside, went to Sams in PCB to stock up on staples... and never left the house!!!

Don't forget about Walmart on 331, around Defuniak, if you're coming southbound! Might be a little congested, but you'll have crowds most anywhere, this time of the year! I agree, late night/early morning, are the best! :clap_1: Also, I use http://www.mapquest.com, for everything! It'll provide exact locations, directions, precise mileage and estimated time to get there. http://www.walmart.com Be careful and have a great 4th!

which WalMart should I go to? The one in Destin or the one in PCB?

Mapquest may give directions but it can be deceptive if you are basing the travel time on proximity. For example, usually stores in Ft Walton are closer than Panama City, yet I can typically get to PC more quickly without having to battle as much traffic during the season.

There is a Wallmart or maybe it's a Sam's in Andelusia (sp?). If you come through there on your way down you could stop there.

I bet if Paige is buying goods for 35 people, she will have to unload the bus before she goes shopping. That is typically why most beach goers don't stop at the one in Defuniak.

 

[Paige]

You are right, we will have to unload first.

The WalMart in PCB is definitely more convenient to Seagrove. That is where I go...but I go extremely early or extremely late. It is usually very crowed.

Bingo......unless you are Ktschris (hee hee) she will put groceries on kids laps or hang them out the window just so she doesn't have to leave the beach and shop later
