Grocery shopping is probably my least favorite domestic duty, I hate it! Thus I would have a hard time giving any grocery store five stars, just because I hate the whole idea of grocery shopping. Publix would be the exception to that rule, if there was one, as they make the whole experience easy and painless. The store is always organized with all of the best weekly deals on display front and center when you walk in the front doors. Beyond the front doors and weekly specials is the famous Publix Deli Counter, a great place to stop for a quick lunch, beach food to-go or pre-packaged freshly made dinner on the run. The deli features made-to-order subs, cold salads of all varieties, fresh sushi, and a soup & hot fried chicken bar with sides to boot. They offer something for everybody, literally. The bakery is top notch, with fresh baked breads, donuts, cakes, crazy desserts and believe or not ice cream cakes. I don't always order baked goods but when I do, they're ice cream cakes, from Publix. Because they are amaaaazing! The meat, produce and seafood departments are always fresh and well stocked with plenty of options available to throw together a quick & healthy meal without having to break the bank or snag a rotisserie chicken (Publix has great ones) and boxed sides. All and all, Publix is my number one grocer. The service is outstanding, they offer complimentary bagging service & the place is super clean. I just wish they were open later for us night owls!
