DUVAL COUNTY, Fla. — Winn-Dixie is rolling out a program designed to lower prices on 1,500 items permanently.

“Research consistently tells us that customers are seeking lower prices, wherever they shop, particularly hardworking families shopping on a budget,” said Ian McLeod, president and CEO of Southeastern Grocers – home of Winn-Dixie. “We are listening to our customers and helping them reduce the cost of their weekly shop by lowering the prices on over 1,500 of our customers’ favorites.”
