Isn't Publix the expensive grocery store? I've never been in one.
I would figure that they would be expensive like Giant / Safeway / Wegmans that we have around here.
Is there a cheap one?
Ohhhh, you mean their regular prices which seem to keep the trash out of the stores. Yeah, their prices are elevated more than WM and Kroger, but it's worth it, IMO.
There's a skill to shopping at Publix. You better walk the aisles and buy extra of what you normally use when it is buy one, get one. The fun part is that in GA and AL, you don't have to get two items to get the sale price (1/2 price). State law in those two states dictate that each item must be sold at the discounted price.
Doesn't work that way in FL. Gotta get two. That's the reason we take a cooler with us and some dry items when we go to FL to save a little money on groceries.... We take some condiments, cooking oil, sugar, etc.
Yeah, this is true.
Publix is a really nice store but it ends there. We dont go anymore, except maybe if you want some good bakery bread or dessert (my wife not me as much)
The two for one deals are great but we noticed some games with that lately. Sometimes the price is overinflated before the sale, other times its now buy two get one free. The fruit section always looks amazing with the fruits nicely laid out, sadly the quality of the fruit most times for me is way less than ideal and it shouldn't at those prices. Most all fruit is not refridgerated. I no longer trust to buy fruit there, I got burned more times at Publix then anyplace.
The prices on yogurt and frozen yogurt are hard to swallow Yasso bars up to $6 to $6.59 for four frozen bars.
Sure the shopping carts are super clean and the wheels on the carts are as smooth as silk, almost like they use Mobil 1 in the bearings *LOL* You can push on hand and let go and it will glide to a stop. Very rarely you will ever get a whobbly wheel.
Anyway for me now, price and always quality rule, out last location for 16 years had a new Walmart and that was a nice store, great prices and liked the fruit and veggies better but still not refrigerated and I am not one to take fruit off those open displays of loose fruit, gross. . I eat A LOT of fruit. Yasso frozen yogurt bars are $4.99
Our now new first best (NEVER thought I would say this) is Food Lion for fruit, amazing, good prices, and
all/most their fruit are in refrigerated cases. It's rare that I get junk. Wife likes the meat section. Yasso yogurt bars same price as Walmart $4.99 but common to be on sale for $3.99 and just two days ago Yes true) on sale for $3.99 (vs Publix at $6+) but buy 3 and get another $3 off, so net cost was $2.99 over $3 a box less than Publix. Also their pre sliced cheese are reasonable and pretty good, yogurt prices ok.
I'll cut this short, BITOG text box acting up on my iMac. Just tried moving the mouse off the box, seems like maybe that is working. Interesting.
