You just never know . . .

Also, I defy anyone to be able to tell the difference between Boar's Head from Publix brand, or even the various brands from the deli at Walmart.
By the time you choose your bread and add mustard, mayo, Miracle Whip, or whatever your choice is. you would never be able to know which is which.
I have done this "test" on friends and no one can ever tell the difference.
Those who think they can are simply a product of great marketing and advertising.
The difference in price simply isn't worth it.
There is no line for fruits and veggies. There can be a substantial line for deli items. If you know a particular brand/style of lunch meat you are buying, why wouldn’t you order it online and have it waiting for you? I guess jf you prefer looking through the deli glass before you purchase, online ordering wouldn’t work for you. For me, online ordering deli meat from Publix is perfect.
