If staying in Seagrove...

[Paige]

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

No offense, but why go to either? Is there something you can get at Walmart that you can't get in SoWal?

 

[Paige]

B/c we are buying supplies for 35 people and it just the economical choice. When it's just me and the family we go to the Publix. Hence, the reason I need to ask the question. I've never been to either Wal Mart and don't know which is closer.

From Seagrove I think it's kind of a wash. But if the Wal-Mart is in PCB and not Panama City proper, I would guess the PCB one would be quicker, because potentially less traffic going that way on 98.

Can you hit one on the way in?

Both are about the same but PCB is usually easier to navigate to and fro. Although go as early as you can for either. Destin has places along the way you might want to stop at.

Once you factor in gas, time, and hassle - Publix is a better choice. I can't imagine prices are much different than WM.

Ditto TFT. If you must, the one in PCB on Middle Beach Rd will be the quickest to get to due to less traffic there than Destin.

For the hassle alone, Publix is much better. Walmart has great prices on sunscreen and a few other items and has many other things to offer over the grocery stores, however, everything you need for the beach is available at reasonable prices in SoWal without having to make the hour and ten minute round trip drive. Whatever you do, if you want to avoid the crowds at Walmart or Publix you better go in the wee hours of the morning or the weekdays.

Isn't there a Sam's in PC? Seems to me, if buying supplies for 35 people, bulk buying would be the way to go.

I was just thinking the same thing. Where is the Sam's in PCB?

 

[aquaticbiology]

there's a sams on 23rd street way east (almost to 231)

to make it worthwhile, go to the wal-mart in pcb after 5pm and have an early dinner while you are there at pompano's (right next door)

order the shrimp pompano for an appetizer

then order the whole grilled pompano with drawn butter and two forks

flip a coin for who gets what

the winner starts at the head and the loser gets to start at the tail

meet in the middle - can be either romantic or an epic battle!

then flip it and toss again

save some snail rolls and honey butter for me

oops, i shouldn't have gone there - 2 more hours to lunch and now i'm hoongry for some pompano in drawn butter!
