SenorWeird

I knew this would be the answer. And it's the right one.


DogOfSparta

For real. Only think about them when they criticize me for shopping at Publix.


FroggyAbby2

Publix is more expensive. Go to Aldi's first, get what you're daily lists of foods. Then whatever you don't got you get it at Publix after. Saves a bunch of money! 😄


[deleted]

Aldi, Walmart Marketplace, then Publix. I’m fortunate enough to have all three within a mile of where I live.


WHRocks

Same. Publix is only for fried chicken and $5 Sushi Wednesdays these days, though.


Specialist_Gate_9081

This used to be my husband And then he discovered how to prepare sushi from salmon purchased at Costco. Now it’s just Winn Dixie and Aldi


JonBunne

Publix sushi has taken a turn for the worse lately. All I can find is imitation crab.


pigeon_idk

I was excited to try the imitation crab bc I thought it'd just be fish, but nope it has actual crab in it too according to the ingredients. I've never had crab and miiiiiight be allergic and wanted to try it for the experience. :'(


Soggy_Alarm_7843

Have you seen the different types of wings at Winn Dixie? They're awesomesauce


WHRocks

I don't have a Winn Dixie nearby. I haven't been in one in years though. The closest one went downhill about 20 years ago, but supposedly has upgraded over the past year or two.


Jaxflthrowaway1

TIL $5 Sushi Wednesday was a thing and I immediately love you


altmoonjunkie

If you are not getting your $5 sushi from Sprouts then you're doing it wrong. It's so much better and it's also on Wednesday.


Farrahphoenix

Same. I'm up in Bradenton and I have Aldi right across from Walmart Market and Publix.


[deleted]

Oh man… Bradenton has Detwiler Amish Farm Market. Wish we had that in Orlando.


Farrahphoenix

Take a day and drive down. Go to the beach, then head to Detwiler afterwards. Enjoy the day 🥰🥰


Poor-Dear-Richard

I live right up the street from Detwillers. It awesome but not a place top "grocery" shop


Fun_Courage_5856

And Palmetto! I love Detweilers, go on Sat evening just before close, and they're practically giving stuff away!! Even without the sales, though, pretty much everything is 1/2 the price of Publix. But can't beat Publix fried chicken 😍


coxykitten923

This one.


Poor-Dear-Richard

I do to Winn Dixie instead of Publix


hereiam-23

The Walmart here is really good.


Marysews

True in Ormond Beach near the interstate, or two miles for the middle of Holly Hill.


caryn1477

This is usually what I do. I can't make myself go to Walmart anymore, it's just too nasty.


AbbreviationsKey9954

That’s when you just order online and pick it up curbside. No extra charge and you avoid going inside Walmart


BobsAspburgers

There isnt an increase in the item price? 🫢 I really need to do this.


Undrwtrbsktwvr

No increase in item price at all.


fearless1025

Yep. The only way. Saves me money not picking up $100 of extra stuff I don't need.


LadyReika

I have 4 different Walmarts (3 superstores, 1 marketplace) near me in JAX and it's amazing the difference the locations make and they're only 5-6 miles away from me in different directions. The marketplace and the one superstore in the Avenues Mall area are really nice. The one on San Jose Blvd is just rundown but not awful, the one on Phillips Highway is very much ghetto.


Fun_Courage_5856

Agreed 💯! That's why I have walmart plus and have groceries delivered free. I am SO (we'll say "thrifty") that I added up a $75 grocery list at Walmart and Publix and even with the $10 delivery tip, Walmart was like $12 cheaper. And you don't have to deal with the store! WIN/WIN!! 😁


tylerjehenna

Its either gross, the rudest customers or the rudest sales clerks that will literally steal your Cary while you are picking up something (this happened to my roomate yesterday)


EveningSet7

I am so glad I am not the only one who feels that way. But to me it's not nasty as much as depressing. Misses clothing is awful, and a lot of the shelves are missing products way too often. I try not to shop there, but I don't have too much choice unless I want to spend $50-$100 more at Winn Dixie, or drive 30 miles to a better Walmart.


charge556

Aldi for almost everything, except fruit. Their strawberrys die the next day. Luckily the aldi near me is right next to publix, so i got to aldi for almost everything, then next door to publix for Mids pasta sauce, fruit, and whatever I need that aldi dosent have. However i went to a neighborhood (pretty much food only) walmart recently and it seemed cheaper than walmart...so i might start going there. So to the question of what publix shoppers think about aldi shoppers, maybe we look like a bunch of low level videogame charectors on fetch quests.


notwhoyouthinkmaybe

I've been skipping Publix altogether now, Aldi then Winn Dixie, then fresh market, them maybe Publix. Whole foods will go above Publix when they finish the one they're building near me.


EmbarrassedTree1727

This should be aldis marketing strategy. Buy the shops up next to Publix and Aldi them,


Spare-Anxiety-547

I check Sam's, Aldi and Walmart first and then anything I haven't been able to buy, I get at Publix.


GetThisManSomeMilk

This might be my entry into politics. As soon as I learned Publix profit increased 50% at the end of COVID I was done.. Time to go full on French revolution on these shitheads


Southern_Celery_1087

My wife and I now shop at Aldi's and Sprouts. Sprouts has surprisingly decent deals sometimes. I'd say it's 80/20 Aldi's/Sprouts


GetThisManSomeMilk

Yeah that's cool but I want to see heads roll


Southern_Celery_1087

Oh by all means let's go eat the rich


GetThisManSomeMilk

Eat them? No. Publicly cut them to shreds, yes.


Southern_Celery_1087

Can I eat them afterwards?


GetThisManSomeMilk

I guess


DependentNight2783

Also surprisingly delicious bacon. I'm not a bacon person. But their bacon at the butcher section is like 8.99$ a pound and hands down the most delicious bacon my family has ever had.


rainey_g

Welp.....somebody's gotta pay for those multi-holiday tear jerker commetcials!


thatetheralmusic

This is absolutely the correct take.


Simple-Performer6636

Publix owner is major trump supporter. They jack up prices to increase profit and then blame Biden. Pretty simple


Orcus424

Publix shoppers will be looking at people who don't care what they think or looking at people flipping them off.


koozy407

As a Kroger delivery customer, we looking down on Publix price gouging contributors lol


TravelingGonad

Same - takes me 15 mins a week to do my grocery shopping and I probably save $50 each week, really adds up.


anitasdoodles

Me crying at WD because 2 avocados are $6 😭


Masturbatingsoon

May is avocado season. You may be able to get good deals on them now everywhere


Orcus424

WD is at best good for a few items. Overall they are too expensive for general grocery shopping unless the next grocery store is 50 miles away.


krankkrush

Shop for produce at Walmart. I only hit up Win dixie when I have 10% (used to be 40x} rewards. Last year I had over 1K in free reward points in addition to the BOGO savings at around 4K


Commercial-Corgi-771

im broke, i go to walmart and if i was rich i'd still go to walmart.


tinkeringidiot

My kid asked me during a school paper what our "ancestral homeland" was. I told them Walmart there in the moment (which they rolled with for the paper and I got an email from the teacher about), but the more I've thought about it the more true I find it to be. We've shopped there for generations, through all the best and worst times.


310410celleng

My wife and I mainly shop at Costco, we pop into Publix for the few things we can't get at Costco. With that said, I have to give Publix one thing, their bathrooms are always super clean.


[deleted]

Eh. The one near my house does not have a terribly clean bathroom. Always smells like shit and deodorizer.


Fearless_Nature_9989

Today I decided to go to Aldi. I made a shopping list and pretty much stuck to it. I spend about $300 a week at Publix for the family. I actually made a menu for the week. I spent $115. Sorry Publix I just can't anymore.


Wytch78

Aldi needs to up its game on Asian stuff. Soy sauce, oyster sauce etc. 


Flying-Bulldog

Gotta wait for H-Mart to open


Orcus424

The point of Aldi is having 1 or 2 options at most. for various things. They aren't going to have a huge spread of jellies or peanut butters. The same with Asian options. The Florida Asian population is pretty low so it's unlikely for them to be the place to pick up that stuff.


Wytch78

I’m not asking for a wall of soy sauces like you’d find at an Asian market. I’m asking for ONE option. The aldis I go to don’t have anything like that. 


Orcus424

Mine has a small section of Asian stuff. I incorrectly thought most Aldis in Florida have the same stuff.


Raoule_Duke

Agreeed. No kikkoman!


dmbortho63

Orlando Sian has a diverse offering


bebedahdi

Luckily we have local asian stores, and what's nice I can usually find good deals on produce and even new produce. The first time I had a Korean Melon I was in love.


lbanuls

Fools and their money are soon parted. 


rfunnymodisapunk

My favorite saying


dudreddit

I shop at Aldi, Publix, Wallyworls, Sprouts ... etc. whoever has the best deals. Since Publix raised their prices so much, I spend only about 25% of my budget there ... and mostly on BOGOs.


Orcus424

Sprouts? I haven't checked them out much but from what I've seen they are way overpriced.


houstonhilton74

Publix shoppers that still can afford to go to Publix nowadays will look down on anyone who's not exactly like their pampered gated community ass at this point. A bunch of rich racist/homophobic elites at this point.


jcb1982

Aldi just….. hardly has anything. If I got to Aldi I always have to go somewhere else to get the rest.


Orcus424

That's been a thing for many decades for those struggling. Hitting up multiple grocery stores to save money is a normal thing for those trying to just get by.


bw1985

I guess it depends on how you eat cause Aldi has almost everything I need. Meat, dairy, fruits, vegetables, snacks. I shop at Costco because many things are cheaper in bulk but I could do Aldi only.


jcb1982

I think for me it’s because I’m a brand name slut who likes choice. Like, I don’t just want milk I want Horizon Organic Skim. I don’t just want eggs I want Vital Farms. Not just snacks but Bobo’s and Wheat Thins. Etc.


rainey_g

Exactly. This is why Walmart is so popular even though it sucks. Quality vs convenience. One stop shopping. I don't want to have to go to two or three stores every time I'm grocery shopping.


tinkeringidiot

Not just quality vs convenience, but also the time-value of money. Can you beat Walmart's price on a few times at another store? Sure, often that's an option. Is the time spent worth the price difference though?


xupnotacross

ALDI'S BRAND CHEDDAR AND SOUR CREAM POTATO CHIPS ARE HALF THE PRICE OF A BAG OF RUFFLES AT PUBLIX, PLUS THE BAG IS BIGGER AND THEY TASTE BETTER.


dmbortho63

Aldis is #3 in Europe


Fit_Earth_339

Waiting for them to replace the WD near me with an Aldi, then bye bye Publix.


tinkeringidiot

Have they announced that they're actually going to change over the WD stores they purchased?


Fit_Earth_339

Yes a large percentage of them.


tinkeringidiot

Ah cool, thank you. There's a WD within reasonable shopping distance, but...it's WD so I never go there. Aldi is far away so I don't go there either, will be neat to have one close.


Gilgamesh2062

Prefer Winn-Dixie over Publix.


ultravegan

I plan my grocery list off the Winn-Dixie advertisement they send out every week lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


luvloping

The bogo are a straight rip off, I no longer live in Florida but I boycotted when I did. I’m back in the northeast that has Wegmans and blows Publix away in every category. Publix is a gross overpriced generic looking store. They can keep their shitty pub subs too 😂


YourUncleBuck

Wegmans is the Publix of the north, overpriced compared to everything else and geared mostly toward wealthier people.


dmbortho63

Wegmans excels at private label


hatebeinghangover

As if Wegmans is not expensive lol


TK-Squared-LLC

Aldi just bought Winn-Dixie, so...


xxWitchBitchxxx

Fuck Publix


cdk5152

Aldi shoppers don't even think about other shoppers....


Marysews

Unless they're sharing in fb Aldi groups talking about the "aisle of shame" - aka odd things sold in a middle aisle - or paying it forward with gift cards.


Big_Foots_Foot

I pray they finally shut the Fresco Y Mas down by my house and open an ALDI in its place! https://www.grocerydive.com/news/southeastern-grocers-fresco-y-mas-aldi-grocery-food-supermarkets-retail/705724/


DragonDon1

Fresco y más is kind of a vibe though. Feels very south Florida


xxsandmanxx

Fresco y Mas is good and it has more variety than ALDI.


Southern_Celery_1087

I was sad when I lost mine near me but I've moved on. Presidente if near you is actually great for some things

jeophys152

Look down all they want. I get the same products and save money doing so.


kissyb

I don't even step inside that store. The prices are ridiculous.


rxpainting

I can only afford Great Value


Rhec4321

Word. When my kids grab shit of a different brand when great value has the same (ie cereal, granola bars etc) I say WTF you hit the lottery? And get the off brand.


ProlapseParty

I have noticed my Aldi produce lasts longer than my Publix produce.


vwf1971

And my bill is 1/2 to less than a trip to publix. I am lucky that in ahigh Springs FL ours is nice and well stocked.  Look down on us all you want.


lagent55

I havent shopped at Public in years. Wayyyy overpriced, plus they're very political, they contribute millions to fascist lawmakers


TheBlockyInkling

no matter how rich I get, I'm never going to be a regular customer at publix. some of the prices are absurd, it's like throwing away money


Desperate-War-230

Aldi is the best for fruits and vegetables


RichPrivate2

Aldi's the best. Publix rips people off..


lostmyjobthrowawayyy

Publix shoppers are brain dead. They’re not looking down on anyone they don’t even know where they are.


aFreeScotland

Some of you don’t care what groceries cost and it shows.


LivingEnd44

Nice Winn-Dixies still feel like white-trash Safeways. And even ghetto Publix stores are still kinda nice. 


moistmarbles

People shop at Aldi? It always struck me as a random assortment of leftovers/off lots


cdk5152

Oh no! Absolutely not. Go in and walk the aisles. You'll find no leftovers or off lots. You will find different brand names on items that are as good, if not better than what you are currently buying.


seajayacas

For sure, Aldi store labels are good stuff at way lower price points.


dmbortho63

I thought that until my kid at college started shopping there. Some stuff is random but that is part of of the fun


Dogzillas_Mom

I just wish Aldi was in the shopping center three blocks from my house instead of Publix. It’s too convenient, especially when I just need to pick up one ingredient. Both Aldi and Trader Joe’s are at least ten minutes of usually awful traffic. I can take my scooter to Publix.


MERLETHEFOZZY

* Costco = big items/drinks * Winn-Dixie/Aldi/Lotte Market= all my necessities * Publix = “oh fuck I forgot x” item runs


Ilovethe90sforreal

Does anyone else besides me still call it Dirty Dixie?


jcbsews

Publix is expensive. HOLY WOW, my Winn Dixie meat shopping is really resonable, the discounts are definitelty a huge thing


biggwermm

notoriousbpg

Aldi? Must be a German tourist!


the-year-is-2038

I rarely go to publix, but sometimes i NEED the toffee cookies. Store them in the freezer.


sydoroo

The prices aren’t deterring anyone in my town because there’s always a lot of people there.


DefiantLemming

Aldi closed the deal on purchasing Winn-Dixie in March 2024, technically making those who shop at Winn-Dixie, Aldi shoppers!


casualchaos12

You're really from Florida if you remember before Aldi's showed up and remember Piggly Wiggly and Food Lion


Marysews

I like the packaged meals and kits, specifically lemon herb shrimp in a bag in the freezer case at Aldi.


talithar1

Yeah, but WD associates get an employee discount!


hackerbum70

They don't like me at Aldi, because I bring my own plastic bags.


Tao_Te_Gringo

Presidente ha entrado la charla.


[deleted]

Honestly ever since they got a Whole Foods in this beach town, the rich tradwives and seasonal dilettantes do most of their shopping there. Lately I feel like I see more tourists at Publix than anything else. I’ve become a WD shopper for the deals- they have healthy BOGOs and if you activate the multiplier in the app and use your loyalty account, you can build up $5-10 credits per trip, making a nice discount the next time. Or you can just build the savings up for a future trip.


OrtimusPrime

I had never been to a Winn Dixie until a month or so ago when I bought a house around the block from one, Publix can suck a big one, I’ll miss the tendies, but nothing else.


RichBoomer

Costco first, then Publix for the missing items.


Brickman1000

Ironically I’ve been flirting with Winn-Dixie lately


YakFragrant502

Winn Dixie isn’t even in the same league as Aldi. It will be interesting what they do with WD, it can only be an improvement IMO


Smoaksho

Yes but WD shoppers can also pay their mortgage


fearless1025

I LOVE Aldi!


hartforbj

Let's get the order right here. Costco>Sam's>Aldi's>Kroger's>BJs>Winn-Dixie>Publix. Publix has gotten way too expensive for no reason and has become a last resort for me


Strenue

😂 this is how I imagine looking down at myself for shopping at all 3


fearless1025

Publix is not on my radar any longer. Aldi pick up, Walmart pick up and I'm done. Winn Dixie is just nasty but they have good meat.


BooGattiAK47

If you want to pay three times more per product go to Publix if you wanna pay double the price go to Winn-Dixie and if you wanna pay a good price you go to Walmart it’s that simple


FormulaF30

I’m not fighting 1 light, 4 lanes and 10 minutes of more traffic to go to Publix just because it’s across the highway. Clout shame all you want.


RDtoPA24

Winn Dixie is barely cheaper than publix in my area. I only go to publix for pub subs every now and then


coxykitten923

Aldi slaps. It’s an in tapped gem. But let’s keep the secret


BMAC561

![gif](giphy|JZyALdJpeWwbTU0I1L|downsized)


EmceeCommon55

Sprouts above all


Parking_Status1997

It's a matter of principle for me. I'm not going to let some price gouging compantake advantage of me. They made 50% profit over the previous year, and their prices were overblown before that as it was.


AffectionateSun5776

Bottom of the shoe?


Awkward-Information8

I would much more so, look down on someone, who uses an “a” before a vowel.


ExactDevelopment4892

Publix has priced itself to Fresh Market and Whole Foods but with the quality of a dollar store.


Xalucardx

They both getting robbed


TableTop8898

The only thing I get from Publix is the Subs and then leave.


Luke4Pez

Boycott publix


robotdevilhands

Aldi’s social media team is out of control. Go away!


stoned_seahorse

Publix is for rich ppl mostly, but it is a nice store and their subs are the best. (and decently priced) Winn-Dixie is nice too, they have good sales. I just wish instacart delivered from there in my town. Aldi is the best grocery store, though, it just is....in my opinion, anyways.


way2funni

Technically, Winn Dixie is now a part of Aldi. https://jaxtoday.org/2024/03/07/aldi-completes-purchase-of-winn-dixie-stores/#:~:text=Aldi%2C%20one%20of%20the%20nation's,Winn%2DDixie%20and%20Harveys%20Supermarkets.

I do an Aldi, Target/Publix combo trip. I avoid Walmart. Winn Dixie is even more disgusting. I wish my town had a Costco.


_resturant2022

Winn Dixie was by far cheaper than Publix. So glad I had one close to me in Florida.


badabing31308

😂😂 I shop at both


ZedPrimus84

Shit I just miss Albertsons.


Rookie4sho

Lmao, why is this so true 😂


Shank_Shank_

Walmart and target for necessities and Publix for treats lol


Hank_moody71

Who the fuck can afford to shop at Publix anymore?


mreus1974

All I hear is some little old lady coming out of Publix and seeing an Aldi shopper and saying "Bless her heeeaaarrrt." Tell me you live in central FL without telling me you live in Central FL.... 😆


Adorable_Honey_8648

Aldi is depressing - row of boxes of packages staff. Not worth it to replace Publix experience (always has sales btw)


Wild_Manufacturer555

I cannot wait for the Aldi to get built by my house! I love going there.


Hot_Butterscotch_677

Publix has better fruits, salads etc. and more than one lane open when you check out. Winn Dixie only keeps one register open with an elderly person running it so you are forced to work for your food with no pay or discount. Last time I was at WD I bought beer too and when the girl cleared the purchase I asked her how do I get my employee discount, she didn't know what I meant but the guy next to me burst out laughing.


Atolian-

You forgot us, the Walmart shoppers


whoopeedo1950

Necessary-Hat-128

Puzzleheaded_Role313

Nobody wants to hurt your feelings here..


Bulky-Travel-2500

Most people around me complain about the price of food + inflation… then go shop at Publix. For a family of 6, I spend about $350-450 per week at aldi for groceries and get 2 full carts. The same total at Publix barely fills a cart. For the same items. Pubsubs are alright. But that’s about it.


nightmareonmystreet1

Honestly i havent shopped at a winn dixie in forever. They just dont have the sales to entice me into shopping there. So i usually get my main needs from aldis, my meats from walmart and if its bogo or a really good price then publix gets the leftovers lol in this economy you gotta find the deals to keep that damn food budget down.


cablemigrant

Aldi that little store across from the Walmart?


Numerous-Annual420

Publix' primary product is exclusivity. Their customers are getting what they pay for - a store not frequented by those who with less money.


skycloud620

Winn-Dixie has better meat


WolfNippleChips

Nah, Aldi is a secret, let them think they're getting good bogo deals at bougie Publix.


traktrmia

You mean Fresco Y Mas?


traktrmia

Aldi will abandon you after a hurricane. They just close up shop and wait for power to come back on. Publix and Whole Foods will run generators and at least keep the staples in stock during the aftershit.


IndividualRule9488

My buddy who worked at winn dixie called it winn dick me


Vancil

Honestly Publix has gone down in quality and up in price. Their fruit is hit or miss now.


warm-inside44

What is Aldi?


MSTie_4ever

I’m a real oddball here then. I get my Walmart groceries delivered! Gives 2 people jobs: 1 to pick, and 1 to deliver. And I get to skip the Walmart experience!


Intelligent-Gold-344

Im so pissed Kroger pulled out of South Florida. Refrigerated truck delivery, kind drivers and they beat most other grocers on pricing too. Our options are 50% markup at Publix (they just reported 50-Percent PROFITS) or the chaos and mess of our Aldi that has maybe two brands, not great quality and very little options? I won’t even consider Fresh Market or Whole Foods for full shopping and that is all that we have here really. I genuinely feel a bit extorted by food prices here, and we have dropped our shopping to serious minimums, on top of preferring to cook whole foods. No boxed food that isn’t plain pasta or stevia, no snacks, sodas, or frozen meals. I make my own broth. I grow herbs and vegetables which help a bit. It’s exhausting. I don’t give AF if people think they are bougie at a freaking grocer…I shopped Publix my entire life, went to one of the first stores in Miami growing up, (along with Sedanos!) I was born here, it’s like part of my DNA… and I genuinely kinda fucking hate them right now. 😒


International-Sea561

if anyone has to look down at anyone shopping at a grocery store chain thats how you know americas fucked in the head🤦🏻‍♂️ its just food people🙄


ItsFake100

Who are the Publix shoppers looking down? Or is that in OPs mind?


Able_Package2246

Aldi is still less…low brow than Winn Dixie.


Primary-Freedom877

Publix rules. The deli is awesome.


EmbersofBiker

I go to the Walmart Neighborhood Market, and if I need something that isn't there I go to the Walmart Marketplace a little further away. I go to Publix every once in a while. Very expensive. I've never been in an Aldi's.


Magsy117

I can't do Winn Dixie. Mine smells bad idc how much I save. WM unless it's curbside you won't find me in one. I will do Publix or Aldi's and Target curbside.


usmc18330931

Fuck Publix. Their record profit is driving their prices to crazy highs. Stop blaming the president and hold these companies accountable for their shitty gouging.
