 Publix Super Market, I'm impressed, have been for years. I use to be a Winn-Dixie fan until I started shopping at Publix. Publix just seems to go out of it's way to bring shoppers higher quality groceries. And so I've created this section to spot light some of the brands I buy from Publix that I like, some are Publix brands, others are not, but they carry them. So stay tuned.. |

 One of those brands I love, and just tried last night, is 'Innov Asian Sweet and Sour Chicken Breast'. Good, very good, tastes just as good, if not better than what you get at resturants. And only takes minutes to prepare in microwave, or oven (if you prefer a oven). Try it, you'll like it. You'll end up craving it, if you're into Asian tasting food. Box come with lots of sauce, that's what I like about it, they don't cheat you on the sauce, and the sauce just melts right over the nuggets. Delightful meal. More to follow. |

 I recently purchased this brand of blackberries from Publix  SunnyRidge...and must say they have a chemical taste to them, or maybe pesticides are what I'm tasting. I'm parculuar about fruit I eat, since you can't go more natural than fruit, so when 'man' messes with even fruit, so that all you're swallowing is a vile of chemically laced product, I get really annoyed. I suggest you, Publix, taste these crops before you shelve them for consumers. People are really becoming health conscious, well read on pesticides, GMO's and their harmful side effects. Seems every week the price of fruit fluctuates, up and down, and the taste always changes. Walmart sells their berries cheaper, and in larger containers... I give Publix a F this week on their blackberrie tastes and price...and their blue berries keep coming in smaller and smaller packages too...this weekend I'll do a size by size comparison of price and packaging of Walmart the Publix. |

I signed up for Publix 'Grocery delivery' service a few years ago, and have yet to utilize it, I need to go back into account and update it, cause now I do feel like utilizing it.
(I always tell myself that until comes down to order)
Yes, I always tell myself that's I'll order small amount of groceries so don't have to leave place, but always change mind at last minute.
There's just something about waiting around for another person to pick out for you what you ordered online, and trusting them to get you best deal, that I find hard to do.
I mean when you shop, particualry produce or meat, how can another grab best deal for you?
They can't, all they're going to do is look at list, and grab whatever's closet to them.
I guess certain groceries, like canned stuff, milk, eggs, pre packaged stuff, comes 'as is', so it would make the most sense to use service for that, and not for meat or produce.
And not only that, with everyone shopping like mad now, what I order online from Publix, could be sold out, so ye, I think it's better I go to store myself still, until this panic over nothing is over with.
I did see a lot more people wearing masks today though, as drove past a few stores.
At most, I'd probably wear thin plastic gloves when pushing car or carrying basket, which gets handled by hundreds per day.

Gotta go grocery shopping soonI gotta go grocery shopping soon, as in today. I don't have to, but need to, for eating healthy the only thing keeping me away from doctor office. But eating healthy costs, I mean at Publix, a few bags of groceries, I'm talking plastic bags of groceries, and bill is around $70.00, every time. I usually buy lots of fruit, bag of apples, bag of grapefruit, other citrus, various berries, then a few vegetables, maybe some milk, eggs, paper this, paper that, and already at 50 bucks. No fun stuff even, just basic food items, then when do add a few 'fun stuff', add another 30-30 dollars and at around or over 70. Or drive 15 miles away to farmers market, but shopping is just not that fun to me anymore, it really isn't, shopping feels like a chore now. Not like when a bit younger and maybe went shopping to adore women or other people, now it's simply a chore, a chore that costs money. But if don't shop today, won't have time or make time during my work cycle. I wish they sold fruit at corner stores, some places do, usually just apples, bananas and some oranges. (Trying to motivate self to go shopping, not working) And as expensive as Publix can be, can be more expensive and less healthy when eat on the go. So ye, I think I'll drag my butt out of here and get this chore of shopping over with.

I read above about shopping at Walmart, I haven't been to a Walmart in over a year or longer, just thinking of that place where's me down now.
I mean by the time you get dressed, drive there, park, walk inside, shop around, check out, face annoying 'receipt person' (I always say no), go back to vehicle, drive home, un pack, put everything away, that can be like a 2-3 hour ordeal.
And again, shopping just not fun to me anymore, I mean 'stuff is stuff', you eat it and it's gone.

I've been using Public home delivery grocery shopping lately
It's been OK, but seems every time, the shoppers fail to find what I ordered, and of course subtract payment...but still...meat?, are you telling me Publix out of Beef liver, chicken liver and hamburger patties?
Please.
I think these shoppers just get in a rush and probably get paid by the volume and so don't have time to hunt down all your items for you.
Cause I'm sure if go to store tomorrow, I'll find everything that mobile shopper said they could not.
Oh well, that aside, I really like not having to always get dressed just to buy groceries, cause there's no one at the store anymore that I'll see or greet that's worth me spending 30 minutes getting dressed up for, and it saves on gas, and wear and tear on vehicle...to be continue.

Just got done shopping at Publix, and didn't even bother looking at the receipt, why should I? I know I bought more than I should, I know things cost more, but oh well, I mean to always live like you're poor, that's not living, and will eventually wear your moral down. So I got what I felt I needed and that was that, Irregardless of the price. A bit wore out now, I mean just bringing groceries from vehicle to inside place is a workout. I did buy some slices of watermelon, which oddly enough I do have a taste for right now.  |

Don't insult me like that.
I guess I'm just getting older and more square I suppose, cause when younger Walmart was like the hip place to shop, not anymore, now for me Amazon at your doorstep is the hip way to do it.

Just got done grocery shopping, wow, shopping can really take a lot out of you physically
I consider myself in decent shape, for my age, but wow, the task of shopping can really take a lot out of you, I mean the whole ordeal.
1. Getting dressed = 15 minutes or more
2. Face grooming, hair, another 10-15 minutes
3. Going out to vehicle in the hot sun.
4. Driving to store in the heat, traffic lights, ect (luckly I live about 2 miles from store)
5. Parking, then getting out to walk into the store, in the heat
6. Then the shopping begins, can last from 15-30 minutes.
7. Then the line, the check out line, more standing and waiting.
8. Then the walk back out to vehicle, pushing cart
9. Then placing items from cart into vehicle
10. Driving back home
11. Taking groceries from vehicle to house or apt, and if live on 2nd or 3rd floors or higher, Just imagine how grueling that can be, especially if have to make multiple trips in the heat.
12. Then gotta put all the groceries up, in fridge, cabinets, ect
13. Then gotta toss or recycle the plastic bags
Sorry, but that's like a whole sporting event, Just going shopping and all.
Especially if have to carry bottled water up a flight of stairs, what a workout...no matter what age you are.
Old age gets scarier and scarier to me with each passing day.

Just spent around 90 bucks at Public...shoppings not fun anymore, that's for sure.
And to me, better to sell meat cheaper, where people will buy it before expiration date, rather than stores having to toss out the meat or donate it for free.
And every time I see a new apartment complex go up, I don't get happy, cause I know I can't afford to live there.
At my age, I just can't afford to keep dumping, what income I still earn, into rent.
REnt is evil, wipes out poor peoples retirement money.
