Publix is way better than Winn Dixie.

For a Non-Union Shop with property taxes and rent a fraction of the cost in NYC, it is very disappointing to find NYC retails in Florida. Publix has more competition outside Florida, so it’s sales program, coupons, and senior discounts are available in other states where they operate. I have found the meat department at Winn Dixie to have superior products at better retails than Publix. Same with the Produce, Dairy, and Frozen food.

No matter where I live my shopping habits, are Amazon/ Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Costco, Sams, and the Base.

Most of which comes to my front door. Local is Fresh Market, I may stop into Publix, every couple of months. What little meat we use comes from private farm.
But not everyone needs to shop at the same grocery, or like all the groceries. What they all have in common, they enjoy taking your money.

Compare the bakery section in Publix to the bakery section in Winn-Dixie or Walmart market it doesn’t even come close to the selection. Publix prices are outrageous for just about everything. For me it’s worth traveling the extra few minutes to Winn-Dixie or Walmart market knowing how much money I’ll save .

Yes Publix is overpriced and we shop at Walmart, Sams and Aldi too depending what we need. We're too far away from Winn-Dixie but they have some good sales on meats. The two exceptions at Publix are their brand of ice cream it's still sold in the half-gallon sizes and when on sale 2 for $10 it's even better. Then there's their made to order sandwiches their Italian sub is as good as they come for Florida.

The only grocery store that carried everything for me was Wegmans. Never needed to go anyplace else. Here I go to 3 or 4 and still need to order something I can’t find. And Publix is way overpriced.

Winn-Dixie for some reason does not seem to be either as friendly or as efficient as Publix. We've encountered some rather rude employees at Winn-Dixie (specifically the one located by Lake Sumter Landing), never at Publix.

Publix is a bit more costly, to be sure. But their overall quality is excellent. My only gripe at Publix is the long lines at the deli counter. I'd say they could do something but speed things up but the employees in back of the counter are already almost bumping into each other.

Walmart for 90 percent of items. Others not competitive on price except for some specials.

I shop Walmart, Aldi, and once in a while Winn Dixie. Publix prices are ridiculous.

We've been using Kroger for months. They are much cheaper and the service is excellent! Everything comes in refrigerated trucks and the ice cream comes frozen. It's very rare that I have to shop somewhere else. Most of the time they have the things we need in stock.
