Publix subs are great. It's been awhile since I got one...I should get one. Or several.
Yup. Lots of room to experiment too. If they have an ingredient in the store, chances are you can request it in your sub.
I can vouch for their Key Lime Pie. Also their turtle cheesecake is no slouch.

Publix veteran here, was a bagboy and then a stock clerk in high school. Ate many subs and the abuelas in the bakery would give me free cookies, but I'd have to eat them quickly in the corner so that the managers wouldn't see.

Yeah, I went to a Publix in Georgia and that was the first time I got my sub without it being pressed. So strange
I guess I am just so used to saying pressed, but yes it's so different now.

Eh, the key lime pie is OK if you didn't have many options.
The best key lime pies comes from J. J. Gandy's.

I'm all about the black and white cookies.

The flan and Tres Leches used to be on point. But then the abuelas got smart, and started catering.

I used to be Facebook friends with RISKAY DRAMA QUEEN of "Smell Yo Dick" fame but she posted about Publix subs multiple times a day so I had to block her, was just too much.

I have a lot of gripes with Florida. Publix is not one of them.
Hell, some of the closest ones to me started offering inari sushi ("Inari Special") in their seafood section. It's like they want me to stay in this state and shop with them forever.
Their key lime pie is good but their mango key lime pie is on another level. I nearly had a panic attack when it seemed like all my local Publix stores stopped making it. (They still did, just somehow were all sold out)

I've been pretty good. I know you haven't seen me in like... six and a half years, but life's been decent. How about you?

A lot of people ask me why I go to Publix instead of Kroger.
They just don't fucking get it man.

Publix is only good for their subs. Their groceries are expensive compared to Walmart.
If you are ever in the west Kendall area and want empanadas, please go to the Milly's Empanada factory restaurant. That AND Publix are literally the only good thing about Florida.

You know it to be true. JJ's pies are amazing, and I'll agrue it's the best Key lime pie bakery in the state.
If you just walk in buy off the shelf without looking yea on average Walmart will probably be cheaper. If you look at the ads and plan your shopping around the BOGO's and sales though it comes out fine. Buying store brand also saves money and Publix brand stuff kills Great Value shit.

yeah, she's awful but at least she's off the board now, and they seem to be distancing from her more
haha oh man, this was how i survived in the day. i'd hope for enough tips (on the low) to go to BK but many days that didn't happen
i'm good man! apparently making OT's, haha - really hoping things pan out for my career next year, storm aside i'm pretty happy right now
bruh
we're still waiting on wa-wa down here, pls believe i would fuck with that OT as well
you gotta be about that BOGO life
Kroger is like the last resort for grocery stores lmao. Or at least the ones near me are all old and gross.
So everyone knows Publix will steam your shrimp for free? Even season it with Old Bay. Just go in, get 1-2 lbs of whatever large shrimp is on sale at the seafood counter, ask them to steam it and come back in 5-10 minutes. I always get stopped by someone that is amazed they do that. One of my daughters favorite meals.
Bruh as I said in that thread about the natural disaster barreling toward the state and publix
This was the best that was discontinued.

Of course. All throughout GA. Go find a Kroger, and across the street there will be a Publix. Always. Lol

Moved out of FL last year. When people ask what I miss, I say friends, family, and Publix. Worked there for 4 years (2 in high school, 2 in college). Good times.

So true. It's like walking in to a grocery store about a month after the apocalypse went down.
Yep, there's a Kroger right down the street from the Publix here in Athens.

Never got a chance to try it. There are some they keep bringing back like the Pumpkin Pie but I do notice different or new flavors every year too so it might be back, or at least a variation.
