Publix Supermarket and Rising Prices

Good"BUY" Publix? Well it finally happened, Publix prices now exceed all the other markets in Florida. For example on one stretch of road in Florida known as Pines Blvd there are 3 markets known as Sedanos, Doris's Italian Market and Western Beef with in 2 miles of at least 3 Publix Markets. All much cheeper then Publix. If you don't mind a few shopping stops you can save hundreds of dollars a month. I for one always hated shopping in more then one store for groceries and have always been a loyal customer of Publix but I dont see the return loyality. See a loyal customer never notices prices elsewhere and super stores know this so they raise prices where you dont take much notice. Once store brands were much lower then name brands but no more! For example for my pets I would buy Publix brand unsalted crackers for $1.95 a box then overnight they went up to $2.25 a box! That's almost a 15% increase and I noticed that figure applies to almost all Publix products! 15% is not a joke! I just bought from Sedanos a pork shoulder for .79 cent per pound where Publix is $1.99 a pound! A pound of large shrimp at Publix is $ 9.99 a pound where at Western Beef it is only $5.99 a pound! Jumbo eggs at Publix are $2.49 a dozen but were $2.00 at Doris's AND they were bigger then the Jumbos at Publix. For $1.49 a pound we bought boneless and skinless chicken breasts at Doris's where Publix was at least 3 times more. French bread at Publix is $1.99 a loaf and $1.99 at Doris's but Doris's is a half size bigger! Over the last year Publix has reduced the size of it's bread loafs but kept using the same size paper wrappers making in very noticable. ALL meats and seafoods were less money then Publix elsewhere. Publix we have noticed also got a bit stingy with their sales and two for one specials where the other have increase the savings to the public. I on average save at least $50.00 per week, no coupons, by shopping Doris's Italian Market, Sedano's and Western Beef. Lets see $50.00 x 52 weeks = $2600.00!!!!! Now I dont want you to take our word for these saving but all these FINE markets have web sites for you to see for yourself. The Links are: Doris's Italian Market . Sedano's . Western Beef . Each provide their own "Weekly Circulars". Compare them to Publix and you too can save $2600.00 or more per year.
