Passover Price List: Publix, Walmart, and Winn-Dixie

With Passover coming soon, it's time to start purchasing needed items for the holiday. But how do you do that *and* save money?

First, check out my tips on saving money on Passover food.

Second, base your meals this week on fresh local produce, dairy, and other items that don't require special Passover versions.  Salads and simply prepared meats are easy to make and don't require a lot of Passover-only ingredients.  Fruit makes a great dessert.

And third, check your prices before buying!  The stores have very different prices.  Today I went to Publix, Winn-Dixie, and Walmart to check their prices on Passover food.  Here's what I found in my area, South Florida:

1 lb matzo	N/A	N/A	$2.19
