I like Publix because it is convenient and they have what I need. Almost every time I go to Winn-Dixie, they are either out of or don't carry something I'm looking for. Twice they were out of Pork Tenderloin. (Seriously... no pork tenderloin). So... I end up at Publix. Winn-Dixie didn't carry the correct size I needed for a recipe, they were out of the beverage I wanted, and they didn't have a spice I needed. Again... I go to Publix and there it is.
I live near Brownwood so I'm not taking the 20 min. drive to go to Walmart. It's just not worth it to me. Plus I've found they also don't always have the correct ingredient for a recipe I'm making. I LOVE Fresh Market. But, again, it's a drive for me and I have a tee time to make.
Convenience and minimal frustration are important to me. So I like Publix.
If you're willing to drive an hour to save 10 cents on milk... knock yourself out. I'm not judging you... I just don't want to spend my time that way.
