I'd travel to the nearest Walmart, or buy most of my groceries at Aldi and the rest at Winn Dixie (RIP). But because I save so much at Walmart, AND because Publix is only a few blocks away and across the street, I can afford to splurge on Pub subs and prime beef burger patties and other luxuries I would otherwise never buy. I can do a whole week of regular groceries and get my "luxury food" items in the same trip.
If still here in 27 close to one on 42 we will passing right by Publix except for 3 or 4 items we like at Publix. No Aldi’s close so rarely if ever go there.
