Publix is the kind of store that charges $5.75 for a jar of Hellman’s mayonnaise, then puts a $2 coupon in their ads and tells you your saving $2 at checkout when you can get that same jar of mayonnaise at Walmart for $3.75 everyday..............

Yeah, one just opened up not too far from me. I've no idea how people can afford to shop there. Prices are half again as much, or more, than other local stores. Good quality stuff with a great selection, but you pay for it.

Needed a couple of odds-and-ends at Christmas, and couldn't get near the local grocery (literally, no parking spaces. Lines to get in the door). Instead, I went to Publix, walked right in, picked up the 3 things that I wanted, stepped through the checkout - no waiting - and walked out.

Sez me, if a grocery store is empty right before Christmas, it won't be in business long.
