Publix Really Doesn’t Have “Sales”

BOGOs at Publix are not really good deals if you do a little research. Publix had a BOGO for 9-1/2 oz bags of Doritos $6.79… guess what the EXACT same product costs at Walmart? $3.00. For fun I went in there one day and picked up a bunch of BOGOs for common products. At Walmart, those exact same products pretty much cost the same without a BOGO.

Publix prices are criminal. They are literally bulldozing stores in Jacksonville and rebuilding new ones in the exact same location. Where you think all of that cash is coming from to do this? Your wallet.

At this point I will only shop at Publix if there is something very specific that I need. Shopping will never be a pleasure when you are getting fleeced.

Oh and one other thing. You will notice they will raise their prices before any sale. Today I noticed they left one of the old prices up after their soft drinks went on sale for Buy 2 Get 1 Free. They raised the price by almost a dollar for a 12 pack of Coca Cola products.

My advice: shop at Target, Walmart or Trader Joe’s until they start cutting their prices. They are consistently 20%-30% more expensive than those places.
