Publix is partially owned by the employees. I stopped by the store in Homestead, N. C. Last week to pick up groceries for the week. The store was not crowded as it was early on a weekday morning. Currently, they are decorated for the holidays and have special sales on Thanksgiving dinner ingredients. I found everything I needed and received discounts as I signed up for their shopper card years ago. The clerks were friendly. There was plenty of parking.

First time I've seen a Walmart like this…read more The people that work here are really cool. No clothing. Not many tools. Smaller than a usual Walmart. Made a decent size list and really only missed out on a few things we wanted to pick up. They should probably break down the skids and put some stuff away. Pretty hard to get through the store.

But before all that, it was a good shop to pick up some drinks and snacks and a few things to use for making lunch. This Walmart is well stocked - better than the Supercenters - for food and it's well organized. Most of the checkout lanes have been converted to "Scan & Go" so it moves quickly.

I was expecting high prices at a grocery store on the beach, but was surprised by this little IGA…read more They had everything I needed and the prices were reasonable. I even found Southern specialties that I love and had been craving including stone ground grits and pimento cheese. The store is neat, tidy and well-organized. They carry all meats except fresh seafood. Most of the vegetables looked very fresh (except the cucumbers). The clerk was jovial and efficient. A second clerk was proactively helpful. 5 Star service. There seems to be plenty of parking. I'll be back.

I got shrimp and red snapper from here to cook for dinner. The shrimp was phenomenal. The red…read moresnapper was good. I'm a fan of small local fish markets, and this one fits the bill. When you walk in, it doesn't exactly scream "fish market" - as it took me a few minutes to even find the fish. The staff there that day (one person) was friendly, but when asked for suggestions of what was good "everything." The owner of the bar (of the same name) next door came by to hard sell his place. He wasn't wearing a mask, and I tried to interject that I wouldn't be coming by because my kid is too young to eat out around people - but he really didn't catch on. Sigh. I went on to get the shrimp and the red snapper. I paused trying to do the math on how much. The friendly bar owner then insisted I wasn't getting enough for "that many people" - and I should double it. I don't exactly know why I listened to him (I think I was just ready to go) - so I bought what he said. After a rather hefty bill. Getting home, I pulled out the fish and it was 2x what I needed. Sure enough, we had left overs. I don't know if you've ever microwaved left over red snapper - I don't recommend it. So - the interloper from next door brought down the score, but the shrimp was so good I can't imagine going less than 4 stars.
