They are in Ohio too. I don't know why that lemons cost about two dollars for three of them at Publix most of the time. They grow HERE!

On the subject of the Publix at 466A, It was REALLY crowded last winter and now with the folks moving in across from it and also the new people in St.James, and Tamarind Grove, it will really be crowded.

I think that Sweetbay must be a MUCH smaller chain than Publix, does anyone know? That in itself may be the reason for them to hesitate building a new store. Just like every other business in Florida the heavy population in the winter is the challange.

I like to shop both and go to Walmart for a lot of things too just because it is cheaper.

They are owned by the Delhaize Group, which owns Food Lion, Hannafords and many others in Europe.

Could it be that in Maine 30% of the population is on food stamps and the avearge income is only $26K/yr and we pay the highest % of our income in taxes in the country?

I am sorry that we did not catch the offending post earlier. I have deleted that post and all of the other posts that commented on it to save anyone that reads this thread any problem with that post or wonder about the comments (orphan posts).

Hopefully we will catch these types of posts earlier so that they do not offend anyone else.

Do you drive your Golf Cart to Save a Lot?

Sorry, but I missed the post that you deleted. Hmmmm, anybody feel that freedom of speech may have been kicked to the curb?

But if you count the whole number of stores under the corporate picture, Publix is small potatoes.

Just remember that there is no constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech on a privately owned message board such as this one.

Can't do it. It outside The Villages in the town of Wildwood. You must drive the car.

Offensive posts on a thread about Supermarkets????? I wish I saw them now, just out of curiosity. Sounds crazy.

The deleted posts were the usual comments about Wildwood, I feel dumber for having read them.

other grocery options
 

we travel to leesburg to aldi......a great way to save, $1.49 for 5# of red potatoes! 1/2 gal 1% milk is $2.19, publix is $2.75. walmart is good for some things, like cereal. and publix has its place also.
you have to go to multiple places, but combine all your trips at once. and get an insulated cooler with some ice-packs!
