True. Excellent customer service costs money.
However not all things at Publix costs more. They sometimes sell stuff (unannounced) for ridiculously low prices. Not a lot, and not advertised, but a few weeks back I found NY Strip steaks for $4.99 a pound. Maybe they were right at the expiration deadline (I don't know) but for that price it's not much of a gamble. Just yesterday I picked up several 2-liter bottles of Canada Dry Ginger Ale for $1 a bottle--usually $2.29 per bottle. A few months back some really good grapes for something like 79 cents per pound. Stuff like that.
