Our go-to for whatever's needed in this category. You can take 3 Sisters Spring Trail and go in the back way if your GPS will give you the exact turn, otherwise take hwy 19 for a visual cue.

5 min. (Our three Wal-Marts are 20 minutes in any direction.)
Three Sisters Spring Trail better route than Hwy 19.
Big Lots
146 SE US Hwy 195 min. (Our three Wal-Marts are 20 minutes in any direction.)
Three Sisters Spring Trail better route than Hwy 19.
Not recommending the restaurant so much, but the seafood market attached. Closer than Shelly's. Try the smoked fish dip.

Inexpensive ($3 per car) historic walking park. As you walk the paths, read about the history, go up on the big mound for beautiful views, sit waterside on picnic tables and watch the boats zoom by or shrimpers head out for the night or enjoy a beautiful Florida sunset. (Don't forget the bug spray.) We are frequent visitors to this lovely park since we live just one street away.
