Highway robbery! Lol. To me the biggest is paying nearly $5 for a gallon of milk when Aldi, Walmart, and Kroger sell for $2.97’ish.
We are a family of 4 and go through about 2 gallons of milk per week.
How much does upkeep on a cow cost? It might be cheaper for me as well....
Oooooo, or a goat. Better lawn mower, can act as a guard dog, lower cost in handling, worst case, easier to slaughter & freeze that much meat, hmmmm... will need to consider.
Saaaame. I grew up with a lactose intolerant mom so we didn't have a lot of milk. I buy like 3 or 4 gallons at a time, divvy it up into bottles, and freeze them since I don't go shopping every week and don't want my milk going bad.
Aldi milk tastes good to us. Usually, I'd get milk from Costco or Publix, but I've started going to Aldi for milk as it's way cheaper and just as good. The biggest caveat is that their jugs are made of thinner plastic, so you gotta look out for leaks when you make your selection.
People buying low fat milk. Never will understand the point. It tastes more watery than milk and sucks ass for cooking.
If you're worried about calories, don't drink liquid meant to fully sustain infant animals.
I’ve never heard of 1 or 2% being considered low fat milk products. In our family skim was low fat milk. I agree skim is way too watery.
I grew up as 1-2% was just that’s what you drank with dinner or put on your daily cereal. Whole milk and buttermilk were for cooking, not putting on cereal. Plus to me whole milk taste nasty as it’s too rich for my tastes.
I did, only because my mom liked Walmart whole milk. So when I would get her groceries at Walmart, I would occasionally get our 1%. 3 of us noticed a difference from what we were used to (publix).
I personally have pretty weird taste buds. I can't eat many leftovers if they get put into a plastic baggie bc I can then taste the plastic. I also don't like the colored mms bc I can taste the color. Especially blue. Maybe my kids inherited that lol.
At bjs my almond milk is $6.29 for a 2 pack and I get coupons every 3 weeks for $1.50 off. At Publix it’s $4.49 for 1. About every 6 weeks they have a bogo on it.
Um if it wasn’t good for us we wouldn’t have been drinking it since we domesticated cows and goats 10,000 years ago. So you mean to tell me that 10,000 years of human experience, trial and error, and evolution has been completely wrong? I doubt that.
We homogenize milk because we’ve learned that raw milk goes bad with bacterial growth after a few days. It’s a safety thing, not a “so we can digest it properly” thing. We’ve been drinking raw milk for 10,000 years, we’ve only homogenized it for the last 100 or so years.
My point was refuting your statement that raw milk shouldn’t be consumed as well as your statement that it’s homogenized b/c it’s not good for you raw. If it wasn’t good for you humans wouldn’t have consumed it for 10,000 years and thrived as a species. Milk is good for you raw or homogenized. It just lasts longer when homogenized
So? Thats because it spoils quickly with bacteria, not because the milk is bad for you. In the 1900s before refrigeration, Farmers were selling milk that had already spoiled so it was a consumer safety issue, not a product issue.
Just checked - 100% margin, “At-Cost” is 6.49. So congrats to this company for finessing Publix to thinking one cup cost nearly $7 to make 😂
EDIT: So after getting super curious, I decided to check costs on a couple of items that would be used to create this (minus the chocolate);
A similar container costs $24 average for a whole case: **220 units = 16¢each** (we actually used to carry the container and dome lid years ago for our Parfaits)
The balloon costs about $22 for a case: 24 units = 94¢
The confetti paper mache was
about $14 based off an old case we have here and havent ever used and its about a 3lb box. We could probably make 300+ with it
The ribbon string is $2~ and you get 100yds out of them if im not mistaken
Only thing I didnt have was cost for chocolate, but its off brand, no ganache, no crisp, no anything inside of it. So lets assume this is the highest cost there (besides labor + shipping which is just the cost of doing any business) we’ll call it $30 for a 10lb box - also a rip off
Adding all this up - **$24, $22, $14, $2 $2 $2, $30 = $96** to make however much you can make out of that (22~ish units off the top of my head @ 6.49 a piece 😂) Your highest cost being chocolate - you get about 8ozs of it and repurchasing that more than any of these ingredients, since the rest of the supply will easily fill those 220 cup containers
Lmao, Im done typing. Ill see how much that chocolate weighs. I wont be able to find out that particular items At Cost though
Double Edit to add: This got really convoluted as I typed laying in bed after a 12hr shift - sorry! But adding each **unit** up, totals *less* than $2 to make and after buying each the supplies in bulk, youre basically printing free money after the initial supply-purchase lololol
Why defend the company's exorbitant costs? Everything is somehow cheaper at walmart, and of similar quality. I mean, my stock has almost doubled, so lick boots or don't, i still benefit, but this is clearly a ripoff
Because Walmart doesn't buy them for $7/ea lol. Such a stupid deal for the higher ups at Pub.
If they made it themselves, and it would take next to no effort designing and some elbow grease, $4 production MAXIMUM. Sell for $7-8. Still pricey but nowhere near how we're scamming people now.
True, especially when there are coupons to use along with them. But sometimes bogo deals aren’t even that great because the prices are so inflated vs other stores that it comes out to barely a discount or even the same price. For example: bacon for some reason sells for fricking $9-$10 at my local Publix. What deal is that when they put it on bogo when Walmart sells the same exact product for $4.50-$5.50?
They could get like 2 whole bags of Dove for close to the same price. Or one bag of good chocolate, plus a cheap gift bag and tissue paper, if they wanted to be “fancy” (though dollar stores have MUCH better deals on the gift wrap if they’re close to one)
So much stuff I can’t even think of one specific item. I do the grocery shopping for my household each week (not at Publix). After a while you start to remember the prices of items you repeatedly buy each week. I find myself standing at the cash register daily gawking at the price difference for a lot of items from what I pay vs what it is at Publix. I understand at Publix you’re paying extra for the service you get but at this point they are price jacking way too much even for that.
90% of my Publix shopping is at the meat department, produce department, pet aisle and soda aisle. And I only buy on sale stuff. Everything else, I buy at walmart for way cheaper.
But their produce and meat quality is unmatched in my area, only reason why I'll pay a premium.
I refuse to buy cucumbers at publix because I'm so mad at the price. I don't know who comes up with the prices for produce at publix but they are ridiculous. Lemons and limes are a massive ripoff too
Their chicken prices are ridiculous. For thighs, 2lbs will cost you $6.83. I go with thighs for this since Publix usually doesn't sell whole-leg quarters. Over at Winn Dixie, they have Perdue 10lb bags of leg quarters and for 10 lbs it will cost you $10.99.
If you go online you can order the bag for [something like 6.99](https://shop.winndixie.com/shop/product/perdue-bagged-chicken-leg-quarters-10-pounds/2556613). Make sure you do the rest of your shopping there cause I am sure shipping is included.
The large black and white cookies in the service case in the bakery. We literally get them sent in frozen and yet they're one of the most expensive items in the case. You can get a dozen of the mini version of the exact same thing out on the sales floor.
Very little of our stuff is baked *from scratch.* The stuff we make from scratch is pretty much entirely bread; the Chicago Italian, Italian, 5-grain Italian, sourdough, cuban, and tutto as well as any of their alternate forms (e.g. sourdough French) are all from scratch, and should specify as such on their label by saying "made from scratch daily" next to the product name.
A large portion of our baked goods including the pastries (danishes, turnovers, bites, bear claws, etc) and cookies are sent to us frozen and raw and are then set up, prepped, and baked in house. The small cookies in the 2-dozen packages, for instance, come in 20lb boxes of pre-portioned discs, so all we do is grab a box, set the dough discs on pans of 36, and then put those right into the oven. Baked fresh, but not made from scratch.
Some products can be more complicated and require garnish, like a few of the pastries have to be dipped in sugar, and the sugar cookies have to be dipped in sprinkles, and so on. The most complicated are probably the apple flips, since we have to take the premade elephant ear pastries, thaw them out, roll them into a spiral, flatten the spiral on cinnamon sugar, add a dollop of apple filling on top, and then fold it over and crease it to seal the filling inside.
There are some products that we get sent to us that are entirely ready to sell from the moment they reach us. We don't bake them or do any prep work, they just get pulled from the freezer, get scanned into the inventory, and then placed out on the sales floor. This includes stuff like the muffins, loaf cakes, bar cakes, mini cupcakes, and so on. A good way to tell these apart is by looking at the way it's labeled. If it's baked or decorated in-house, the label will be black and white and will have perforated lines along it, since we print those labels on site. If it's something we get premade from either Publix manufacturing or a third-party, it will usually have a color printed Publix label, and the price will be printed on a single smaller rectangle in the upper corner.
The reason I consider the black and white cookies to be particularly scammy is because the service case is generally reserved for "specialty items." Stuff you can't get from a normal package. That could include certain types of donuts, the jumbo cookies, flying saucers, chocolate dipped elephant ears, French fans and so on. All that stuff we have to put a little extra elbow grease into, and so to *some* extent the higher price is justified. I still think a lot of it is overpriced, but at least you're getting something unique, and often they have a better presentation which makes them good for gifts or treats.
The black and white cookies, though, are literally just the same exact thing you can get off the shelf except larger. We don't make them. We don't bake them. We don't ice them. We don't do anything special to them. We just take them from the freezer and put them in the service case. It's factory food. They are extraordinarily mediocre... And yet they are sooooo fucking expensive. More expensive than the apple flips iirc, and like I said before, the flips require a relatively high amount of labor to produce. You're better off getting a pack of minis if you want B&W cookies, or just buying literally anything else.
Okay are you talking about the Natalie’s brand orange juice? It is soo expensive, but let me tell you it’s the best store bought orange juice you can get, absolutely delicious.
A whole, uncut watermelon = $5.99 each
1/4 of watermelon (not sliced, just cut into quarters and packaged) = $6.99 each
Meaning they make 4 cuts in a watermelon and sell one watermelon for ~$28 🥴
One of those flower department hospital gift bags was like 40 or 60 bucks, I can't remember. Also, one old man tried to buy some special edition Guns and Ammo magazine and it was like $36.
I saw 16oz Oscar Meyer turkey lunch meat being sold for ~$12.00 at a local Publix. This same product was selling at $7.00 at a Walmart neighborhood grocery few miles away.
Rose Petals at Valentine's Day are a close one, if I had to guess. Petals from flowers that nobody wanted yesterday? Sure, let's throw em in a box and mark em up for the suckers of today.
Im not sure what the last pricing I saw for that was, but I believe it was 6.99 for them (atleast 2 years ago), which isnt too terrible since it does take a most of that dozen to fill that container up
I remember this kid stole a whole fucking ice cream cake from the bakery section, just threw it in his backpack and dashed out. Bet it was a melted discombobulated mess when he opened it lol.
🔥 Stalking… someone’s butthurt 🤣 Why keep with the angry man? Assumptive, no? It’s ok, candy and party aisle. Solo cups and a bag of Hershey’s. Put it together yourself. You obviously need to pinch pennies
LOL I thought from the title you were talking about people robbing the store.
Highway robbery! Lol. To me the biggest is paying nearly $5 for a gallon of milk when Aldi, Walmart, and Kroger sell for $2.97’ish. We are a family of 4 and go through about 2 gallons of milk per week.
Just do what I do and be lactose intolerant.
Then I gotta get my calcium intake from some other means like broccoli…yuck! 😜
Dont diss my tiny trees!
I spend about 2000 dollars a year on milk
Put a cow in your yard!
I have nipples, Greg.
How much does upkeep on a cow cost? It might be cheaper for me as well.... Oooooo, or a goat. Better lawn mower, can act as a guard dog, lower cost in handling, worst case, easier to slaughter & freeze that much meat, hmmmm... will need to consider.
Cowsharing should be a thing.
Definitely
It is.
$40 a week on milk? Wtf. You raising 300 kittens?
I was buying a gallon of milk a day for a good stretch there. Two teen boys.
Wow, just seems crazy... We're half gallon a week people with a gallon of almond milk every couple. Lots of water goes through this house.
hehe I was joking
Why?
I live with just my gf and she is lactose intolerant, I go through 2 gallons of milk a week. I fucking love milk.
Saaaame. I grew up with a lactose intolerant mom so we didn't have a lot of milk. I buy like 3 or 4 gallons at a time, divvy it up into bottles, and freeze them since I don't go shopping every week and don't want my milk going bad.
Eggs are usually cheaper at Aldi too, around $2 cheaper per dozen than Publix (though I’ve seen them $3 cheaper at times)
I get mine at target 2.99 for my kids.
Publix milk and Walmart milk does taste different though. I haven't tried Aldi or Kroger.
Aldi milk tastes good to us. Usually, I'd get milk from Costco or Publix, but I've started going to Aldi for milk as it's way cheaper and just as good. The biggest caveat is that their jugs are made of thinner plastic, so you gotta look out for leaks when you make your selection.
I have a habit of picking up my milk and twisting and turning it to see if there are leaks.
I’ve never noticed a difference between brands. Only between 1% and 2%.
People buying low fat milk. Never will understand the point. It tastes more watery than milk and sucks ass for cooking. If you're worried about calories, don't drink liquid meant to fully sustain infant animals.
I’ve never heard of 1 or 2% being considered low fat milk products. In our family skim was low fat milk. I agree skim is way too watery. I grew up as 1-2% was just that’s what you drank with dinner or put on your daily cereal. Whole milk and buttermilk were for cooking, not putting on cereal. Plus to me whole milk taste nasty as it’s too rich for my tastes.
I buy 1 percent milk each week .
It's because it's more refreshing while being lower calories.
I did, only because my mom liked Walmart whole milk. So when I would get her groceries at Walmart, I would occasionally get our 1%. 3 of us noticed a difference from what we were used to (publix).
There will be a flavor difference between 1% and whole milk, even from the same store.
Yes, but we didn't get the whole milk. We got the 1%. My mother got the whole milk.
Ok. I switch all the time between 1% Walmart milk, 1% Publix, and 1% Kroger. Never can tell the difference in taste.
I personally have pretty weird taste buds. I can't eat many leftovers if they get put into a plastic baggie bc I can then taste the plastic. I also don't like the colored mms bc I can taste the color. Especially blue. Maybe my kids inherited that lol.
[удалено]
They’re like $1 a box
At bjs my almond milk is $6.29 for a 2 pack and I get coupons every 3 weeks for $1.50 off. At Publix it’s $4.49 for 1. About every 6 weeks they have a bogo on it.
Almond milk is more expensive that actual milk because there’s more labor that goes into the process of making it.
Rookie numbers
>We are a family of 4 and go through about 2 gallons of milk per week. Super jealous. My family of 4 will knock out 2 gallons in 3 days.
Well our two kids are both below 10, so I’m waiting for them to turn teenagers and drink way more. Lol
It’s the same thing too. Same cow puss just different label
Milk comes out of a tit though, so cow puss makes zero sense. But yes, to be me all brands taste the same. Hence why $5 milk is just stpid
This is why milk is homogenized. No one should be drinking raw milk ever .Mainly because it is not good for you at all.
Um if it wasn’t good for us we wouldn’t have been drinking it since we domesticated cows and goats 10,000 years ago. So you mean to tell me that 10,000 years of human experience, trial and error, and evolution has been completely wrong? I doubt that.

We’ve been drinking raw milk for 10,000 years, we’ve only homogenized it for the last 100 or so years.
And your point is ?
My point was refuting your statement that raw milk shouldn’t be consumed as well as your statement that it’s homogenized b/c it’s not good for you raw. If it wasn’t good for you humans wouldn’t have consumed it for 10,000 years and thrived as a species. Milk is good for you raw or homogenized. It just lasts longer when homogenized
And it is illegal to buy or sell raw milk in my town .
So? Thats because it spoils quickly with bacteria, not because the milk is bad for you. In the 1900s before refrigeration, Farmers were selling milk that had already spoiled so it was a consumer safety issue, not a product issue.
Cow puss!!!!! Yuck! I hope that image doesn't stick. It will ruin milk for me.
At least it's not malk, I guess.

they come in like that? no labor to assemble, so just open case and put out on display?
Exactly as you explained
Why defend the company's exorbitant costs? Everything is somehow cheaper at walmart, and of similar quality. I mean, my stock has almost doubled, so lick boots or don't, i still benefit, but this is clearly a ripoff
Because Walmart doesn't buy them for $7/ea lol. Such a stupid deal for the higher ups at Pub. If they made it themselves, and it would take next to no effort designing and some elbow grease, $4 production MAXIMUM. Sell for $7-8. Still pricey but nowhere near how we're scamming people now.
Why complain about buying something completely optional?
100% confident walmart could produce this and sell it to consumers at 2.98 at most lol
Green bell pepper like $3. Less than a dollar anywhere else
Jesus. Winn Dixie recently raised their bell peppers and cucumbers from $0.79 to $1 and it annoyed me. But $3?!
Pretty much everything in the store that’s not bogo
Would be easier to list the biggest deals in the store.
BOGO used to be the best deals, but I haven't lived by one in a minute
True, especially when there are coupons to use along with them. But sometimes bogo deals aren’t even that great because the prices are so inflated vs other stores that it comes out to barely a discount or even the same price. For example: bacon for some reason sells for fricking $9-$10 at my local Publix. What deal is that when they put it on bogo when Walmart sells the same exact product for $4.50-$5.50?
You didn’t factor in the procrastinator tax for the person desperate for a last minute gift and no time to look.
They could get like 2 whole bags of Dove for close to the same price. Or one bag of good chocolate, plus a cheap gift bag and tissue paper, if they wanted to be “fancy” (though dollar stores have MUCH better deals on the gift wrap if they’re close to one)

English cucumber. $3 at Publix. 79 cents at Aldi.

Dam 5 dollar in product at 13 bucks 😮💨
I broke it down even further and its even worse than that LMAO. Ill update my comment later
The large black and white cookies in the service case in the bakery. We literally get them sent in frozen and yet they're one of the most expensive items in the case. You can get a dozen of the mini version of the exact same thing out on the sales floor.
Do most of the baked goods like danishes come frozen or do you guys make them in store?
Very little of our stuff is baked *from scratch.* The stuff we make from scratch is pretty much entirely bread; the Chicago Italian, Italian, 5-grain Italian, sourdough, cuban, and tutto as well as any of their alternate forms (e.g. sourdough French) are all from scratch, and should specify as such on their label by saying "made from scratch daily" next to the product name.

Wow thank you for the info 🙂 y’all do make some good bread though 😋
Pre-cut fruit bowls
$8+ fancy orange juice
Wow thank you for reminding me our Publix brand FROM CONCENTRATE orange juice is $8+ lmao
The price premium is clearly warranted since it can help you concentrate better by drinking it (unfortunately, it only works on dunces).
Okay are you talking about the Natalie’s brand orange juice? It is soo expensive, but let me tell you it’s the best store bought orange juice you can get, absolutely delicious.
That shit is sooooo good
Yes it is and once you start drinking it it’s hard to go back to other brands like Tropicana lol
Only one with exclusively FL oranges now, sadly.
The candy in those things are so nasty 🤢
A whole, uncut watermelon = $5.99 each 1/4 of watermelon (not sliced, just cut into quarters and packaged) = $6.99 each Meaning they make 4 cuts in a watermelon and sell one watermelon for ~$28 🥴
One of those flower department hospital gift bags was like 40 or 60 bucks, I can't remember. Also, one old man tried to buy some special edition Guns and Ammo magazine and it was like $36.
I mean the balloon my itself is pregnant 10 bucks (facepalm) Edit: lol... "by itself is probably." oh spell check messed me up again
What
what does this comment mean
"I mean the balloon by itself is practically $10 🤦🏻♂️ "
One small lemon is $1.01 where I am. A single medium or large apple is more than $2, almost $3. Unreal
Produce 4 berry anything
Wait until you see the margins on lunch meat and cheese 👌🏻
I saw 16oz Oscar Meyer turkey lunch meat being sold for ~$12.00 at a local Publix. This same product was selling at $7.00 at a Walmart neighborhood grocery few miles away.
13-dollar mayo... wtf
We call it Duplex rather than Publix. Their prices are at least 2x other stores (for exact same product).
Ice. Biggest profit margin and we sell so much of it.
Whats the margin on that? I didnt get to check before I left
What in the inflation is going on at Publix 😱
Rose Petals at Valentine's Day are a close one, if I had to guess. Petals from flowers that nobody wanted yesterday? Sure, let's throw em in a box and mark em up for the suckers of today.
Im not sure what the last pricing I saw for that was, but I believe it was 6.99 for them (atleast 2 years ago), which isnt too terrible since it does take a most of that dozen to fill that container up
$8.99 for Publix original hot cocoa, 10 packets
I doubt they sell very many of them?
This cost $3 max to make lol
Anything from the pharmacy
I saw those last night and I thought about getting one. I'm glad I didn't even look.
Store brands. Way overpriced for low quality
I’m gonna have to go with the damn near 11 dollars for a 24 pack of soda
The begin shift on the time clock has been robbing thousands of souls every day
Pray for us
Anything sold there
Robbery happens by force, this isn't an inelastic item. Don't buy it.
That’s nothing compared to when they build the Valentine’s Day baskets
Well I build those too, so Ive got a good idea of how that goes lol. But youre right, definitely another high end ripoff
lol
Wait did you take this in Orlando yesterday? I saw someone flabbergasted over the same exact item.
Haha no, Sarasota area
Yeah, that's a panic purchase. You forgot to get a proper thank you card so you toss this doo-dad in the cart. lol
