Publix has more items in stock and fuller shelves but that comes with higher prices… you as an buyer can pick and choose where you want to shop.

I have chosen. I go to Publix almost every day. Walmart is a zoo, and they often don't keep their regular products in stock. I think that Aldi's quarter cart deal is one of the cheapest and dumbest things I have ever seen. And, I don't believe that it helps their bottom line.
