Publix is a high class store and if you compare prices they are often not much higher than a store like Walmart. If you shop the Bogos at Publix they can be cheaper
“Publix is a high class store” lol, is that the reason why the checkout people are instructed to say how much you saved today, instead of admitting how much more you paid than if you shopped somewhere else? Also people who know what they would like to eat at home are unlikely to be influenced by BOGOs. That’s just what the store has, not necessarily what you are planning to buy.
