One of the staff thankfully helped point me in the right direction / search the store for some clothes.

I am an ALDI junkie. I have found that almost all of my weekly shopping can be done here, and they…read morehave fantastic prices. A lot of people have a hard time getting used to the way ALDI works; ALDI's model is based on German and European markets, where people tend to shop more often in smaller trips. So you aren't usually going to find produce that can be held over for lengthy amounts of time. That said, they are shopped enough that their produce is fresh and has a high turnover. Be sure to catch deals on seasonal produce, as they regularly have the best prices on watermelons in summer and pumpkins in fall. ALDI is great for trying new and "off-brand" products. They offer a wide range of specialty items including cheese and wine. I've found most to be better than average with much of it sourced in Europe. While they do offer name products, who doesn't love "generic" European wines and real milk chocolate at "chocolate flavored" prices? Be sure to bring a quarter in order to use a shopping cart. At checkout, you can purchase bags, use your own from home, or grab a box from a shelf or bin and recycle it later.

Be very careful when buying meat specials at Aldi. Yesterday their online ad had Boneless Chicken…read moreThigs listed for $1.99 per pound. I grabbed a pack at the meat counter but it was marked at $2.99 so when I got to the check ouit I pointed that our to the register man. He picked up his pphone and checked with someone in the back that told him only certain packages were marked with that price. My wife took that package back to the meat counter and picked up a different package but it also was marked at $2.99. The register man said he would go back and find the rigt kind of package. He did so and came back with a differetn type of package that was marked at $1.99. I found him helpful but I believed this is a very sneaky way of doing business. If you advertise them at $1.99 than all packages with tohose contents that are on the counter should be at that price.

I frequent this Publix because of the location and the customer service. I love going to Publix no…read morematter what location because of the consistency of great service and cleanliness across all locations. The Deli/Bakery/Fruit & Veggie section is my favorite because that's where I find most of my fresh ingredients. All items are always up to date and well kept. I also always find what I'm looking for, whenever I can't find it an associate is always close by to help me out! My only complaint is that during this particular visit I couldn't find any up to date Green Wise Turkey bacon because most packets were expired. I alerted the associate right away to ensure no other customer ended up buying expired meat. As a previous Store Associate I would always make sure to be on top of expiration dates when zoning aisles, that would be my only recommendation on top of making sure the store is neat and tidy. Overall great experience per usual! I love my local Publix! (:

I expect Publix to carry specialty items because they advertise as such. This Calera location…read moreroutinely does not carry items because they don't see the need. On Saturday, I ran in to buy John's Coleslaw Dressing which is a Birmingham favorite. They stopped carrying it which ruined my slaw cookout plans for same day. I have had other item experiences like this for creamer, salad dressing and frozen items to name a few. What do we need to do in order to diversify and upgrade selection?

We went to Helena and picked up two. I also have to mention a week ago you were out of dressing. The cashier asked if We found everything. I tell the truth no you were out of dressing then she proceeds to say very condescending We get trucks everyday. Well rude cashier I dont come everyday. I come on Friday and I expect you to have it. At the very least I expect not to have to deal with rude cashiers at a store that lies and says shopping is our pleasure. No it isn't! Your employees are for the most part rude asf. It didnt used to b this way. When I prefer shopping at walmart something is terribly wrong!!!!!

I'm not a Walmart fan at all.... Just to be clear. I've been to this location before but have…read morenever done a review. This location is well organized. Clean. Long lines in self checkout. My recent visit was to browse their sale wine inventory. Unfortunately, the sale wasn't really the sale I was expecting. I did pick up a few things just to make my trip worthwhile.

In these new times, Walmart is one of the few grocery stores that do online ordering and curbside…read morepickup, and it is much appreciated. It's not always easy to get a good pick-up time, but when I've been to do a pick up, there are never more than three cars (including mine) even though there are 10+ spaces available. If you can't get a pick up time BEFORE NOON, best to wait until another day unless there are things you cannot do without. Even with allowing substitutions, items that were in stock that morning have an ever increasing chance of being out of stock by the time they pull your order. Also know that there are items that are definitely in stock in the store that they will not offer/allow for pick up at all, which kind of defeats the purpose of wanting pick up. (Like standard grocery items that don't even show as out of stock, they've just apparently pulled them from the option pool for pick up at all.) The four-stars are solely for the staff who work the grocery pick up. They're usually very young, and always friendly and helpful. I'm impressed with how they've adapted. Otherwise, Walmart in general is a solid three-star. **Even in better times** they seem to be out of random things, and it can be frustrating. You can go in for the most off-the-wall thing, and they are somehow always out of the primary reason for your shopping trip that day.
