Buy any brand or Walmart’s

We are talking about inflation, not eating habits. Get over yourself. Don't judge and lecture. IMHO

Of course, if he chooses to get some other flavor he might see 7.75 ounces instead of 8 ounces, and 12.5 ounces instead of 13 ounces. But the price is still $2.76 or $4.98, respectively.

Perhaps the OP needs a new eyeglass prescription. Fortunately he can get them - at Walmart. Good prices.

This isn't the first time you've posted denials of the rampant inflation that's taking place. Why?

It's happening... "as long as it takes" as they say.

It ends when we go back on the gold standard and stop relying on the printing press to "fund" our insane spending. That's not political, it's economics.

How about the crypto standard…just as good as gold…or maybe dutch tulips.

If it increases their bottom line, why don't other stores have the policy? I would also point out that, unlike other stores, they have their own parking lot, so it would cost less to maintain the carts.

True. But they target a different clientele. Thr few they lose are probably replaced by customers who appreciate the unique products as well as the savings. They, like Trader Joe's, have been around a long time. They know what they're doing.

Reading through these responses I see that most have missed the point. It's so hard when they're still asleep.

with all due respect, Publix is one of the higher priced choices. (i'm not badmouthing it, i love the extra effort & service you guys provide), -just stating the fact. people need to shop around & look @ circular's for sales, & stock up.

Why are so many Karen’s complaining that he bought potato chips? And the one who said eat fruits and vegetables, eat healthy. Are you not aware of how much the price on those items went up???
Prices are up on everything! SMH.

Publix is a rip-off…but they are in the esteemed developers pockets.

2015 = 0.1
2016 = 1.3
2017 = 2.1
2018 = 2.4
2019 = 1.8
2020 = 1.2
2021 = 4.7
2022 = 8.0
2023 = 5.58 first four months

So was the rest of the world, then post Covid kicked in.

Present US Inflation Rate is at 4.93%, compared to 4.98% last month.
But unlike you, I am not trying to make a political point

I stopped buying chips for that reason along with health concerns. Cereal is also outrageously expensive nearing $7 a box for some brands. I’ve found many things in Florida much cheaper than in California but not food. Is that just a reflection of grocery prices in TV? I don’t usually shop for grocery far outside TV so maybe it’s cheaper elsewhere.

Lots of fresh vegetables are over $2, even $3 per pound. Every trip to the store brings inflation surprises. And smaller selection.

But the back-fire sanctions for our #2 ally keep on coming (HINT- food is relatively cheap in Russia, and stores are fully stocked).
