I only remember Publix from when I lived in Wellington, FL for two years as a young child. It was either that or Winn Dixie for our grocery needs. There used to be so many more sample tables back in those days, and I'd always try to get whatever they were offering. For some reason one memory I have of the place was this little scratch-off game they did for football season. I don't remember the prizes or how the game worked, just that I never won anything.

Anybody get their subs pressed and with that honey butter?
It really is like the perfect grocery store. It's one of the few things I missed about Florida when I moved to New York.

say whaaaaaaat
time to start experimenting, ive been trying to replace yeungling since finding out their CEO is a jerk, this is news i can use
i mean
i'm not a club guy so much, but the beaches & women out here are really great
where in FL did you see stumps?
Sometimes they have it for sale for $4.99 and a $1 off coupon for buying a combo. Ends up being right at $6 for a lunch than can easily last two days.
The quality of a Publix varies WILDLY depending on the neighborhood. But they have an absolute monopoly on the grocery game in Florida and some of the broader Southeast. If you're going to a good Publix, though, you're getting a great grocer experience. Great selection and great stuff made in-house. The best ones are probably a lot like the upscale grocery stores in your town/city.
Yep. The fried chicken is the best. Good prices too.
Go for the emergency water, stay for the chicken tender sub
OH MY GOD. That looks amazing!

yeah, they just reopened one out here & you can tell it's the training now too, like every aisle the poor employees are arranging stuff & feel compelled to ask if i need help like i might be today's secret shopper, haha
this is absolutely true as well, for both size of the store, service and lots of stuff

Damn, our publix has them all chilled.
Yea bruh, it's my favorite thing about Publix. Go to your beer section and you'll see the 6 pack cardboard holder (usually on the end of the isle), you can grab any six singles that are available.

I was already more a Publix person anyways but when the Winn-Dixie near me closed that sealed the deal.
Better chicken, better rolls, better ribeye steak, better water...I could go on.
man I love Piggly Wiggly too
that used to be my lunch spot on Wednesdays back in college. meat and two sides with a piece of cornbread. can't go wrong.
This thread is magical. I'm a New York City native but Publix is such a strong component of our family life that whenever we've gone to Flawida visiting our aunts in all the time we've visited them (Gainesville, Lakeland, Orlando and finally Ocala), we both begin the trip and end it with a trip to Publix for subs and chicken.
Chicken tender sub with banana and green peppers, swiss cheese, all on lightly toasted white bread = actual GOAT combination, don't at me.

The cubans are my favorite. The butter gives a nice sticky sweetness. I like it.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
I had reminded myself in the other thread that its almost time for Publix to start stocking their special fall ice creams. Publix ice cream is the bomb but their fall flavors are something else.
This is the shit right here. Pumpkin ice cream, the right spices and little pie pieces in it. If you have guests pop a dollop of whipped cream on top with some cinnamon or nutmeg sprinkle.
I also have tried this and like it for pretty much the same reasons.

I once heard from an employee that you can return pretty much anything and get a gift card of its equivalent value. Even a half-eaten chicken.

Their salsa and cheese sticks, as well as the milk are as good, or better than the national brands.
Their pizza dough is super consistent too. 11 min in a pre-heated 400° oven. Every time. How do they do it!?

The Boar's Head Chipotle Gourmaise (sp?), is life changing. Particularly paired with the Chipotle gouda cheese

I nearly forgot about the tea. Their tea is legit. Probably the best diet tea I have ever had.

Fun Fact: Publix will generally put anything you want on the sub as long as they sell it in the deli section. For example, if I want hummus, they'll bust open a hummus from the deli section to put on my sub. This might be YMMV and I assume it's limited to Publix branded stuff, but that's been my experience.
I wonder what "secret" sauces they offer. I know of chipotle, sub dressing, and pepperhouse. All are the GOAT.

yarp. And even then, only if you ignore that you giving dosh to people like Carol Barnett, which goes out of her way to block stuff like medical marijuana.
Like several others have said, Publix is one of the few things I miss since I moved out of Florida. I have to remember to stop by for a sub next time I go home.
Also, completely unsurprised to see IrishNinja as the TC.
Enjoy your fine grocer and stay safe this weekend PublixGAF.

It's great man, and because it's low priced you don't feel bad for experiments and grabbing a beer or two that you ultimately didn't like.
Also check the sunday papers, they sometimes do coupons/discounts on the a la carte beer thing.
It's life changing man, I've tried soooo many more beers because of Publix.
