Publix
We had several Publix near our home in Melbourne, Florida. A Walmart neighborhood market opened near one of them and the prices at that Publix dropped substantially. But the others remained the same
|
I have shopped at Publix for about 30 years, I love it. Bright, clean store, and friendly employees. I have noticed that the cheaper deals at other stores are not what I buy, it's usually junk food. Publix accepts anybody coupons, and offers BOGOs on food I buy anyway, plus allows coupons on BOGOs. Look up the website: "I heart Publix". With a little strategic couponing, you can practically get your groceries for free, I know women who do!

The traffic will be "interesting" when they open the Neighborhood Walmart grocery. Just to look at the property I can't imagine enough parking spaces. Lately we have been shopping at the Lake Denton Publix. Not crowded and a beautiful store. If you shop the ads you can get reasonable prices at Publix and, again, show me a grocery with better service.

You are correct. I have worked in the Grocery industry for 25 years in Manhattan, which has the highest operating costs in the country. When I first bought in TV and saw the retails at Publix, I was shocked. I wrote to Publix and asked them why were chicken tenders $6.99 lb?? This is equivalent to Manhattan prices! They replied that many items are shipped from the Northeast so they need to add shipping costs. Why? There are no chickens in Florida? I also asked why the promotions are different in their stores in Georgia where they offer SENIOR DISCOUNTS and "penny items".
I will be happy when Walmart and Aldi build on 466A. Perhaps Publix will realize they are not the only grocery option in the area! |

High Prices
Nearly everything is cheaper here than around our northern summer home, but gas and groceries. We find groceries here to be very uncompetitive, and we feel Publix is one of the highest priced stores. Although they have beautiful stores, we hardly ever shop there because of the high prices.

Fresh Market IS a chain store. There just as many of them as Publix or Winn Dixie. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro |
For sure! I can't wait for more competition to drive prices down!!

I'm a bit surprised that so many people seem to really care if groceries cost a few dollars a week more at one place...over another.
I thought most people here were pretty comfortable financially and wouldn't be so obsessed...with a few cents difference between stores. Personally, I'm more concerned about being able to have a good selection of purchasing what I want...in one store, in one trip. Besides, it's not like we can take the money with us...when we go through that final checkout line. :shrug: Flame suit on. :D |
