Some folks say Publix is too expensive but if you shop wisely (take advantage of coupons and BOGO's) this is not true. Publix will honor rival's coupons and if something does not ring up correctly you get it for free. Here in Jax. (we close in TV next week), I have a WD across the street from my subdivision and a Publix a mile away. The only time I shop WD is to get fuel perks to match the 50 dollar Shell card I paid 40 bucks for at Publix (they run coupon deals for gas cards every other month).

I agree 100%. The selection, customers service and cleanliness are all far better at Publix. I too go to Winn Dixie occasionally when it is convenient and to get the fuel perks, but I try to avoid it if at all possible.
