Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Publix Grocery

how does Publix compare to Piggley Wiggley stores ? If they are still around .Went to them 40 years ago when posted in Georgia in the Army

My top three of large supermarket chains would be (1) Wegman's, (2) HEB, (3) Publix.

Individual stores may vary.

Publix is one of the best grocery stores but they have crap for meat.
99.9% grass fed and finished, tasteless beef.

But...but...grass fed is all the rage! How can it be tasteless??

lol

You might see a Piggly Wiggly in a small town, there is one right down the road from our hunting land. And it still looks the same as it did 40 years ago. Like walking back in time.

I would say they arent as hit or miss as others.

I skip over the real expensive grass fed stuff they sell. When ours has NY strips on sale, they are most of the time really good, and when they do the 5.99lb rib roasts, I'll get one cut up into about 5-6 steaks. Those have always been good.

I can tell you what my opinion is of the Publix stock I bought many, many years ago. 🤣🤣🤣

The little town I live near has a Piggly Wiggly and the slightly larger town about 15 minutes away has a Publix. The Pig is like walking back in time to the way grocery stores were 30 years ago except that it does have a deli/meat counter. It has a butcher on site and has good meat selection. They stock pickled pigs feet and canned pork brains. The meat section has hog jowel and stew meat. That should tell you all you need to know about the Pig. I like it!

Publix is an upscale grocery experience compared to what I am used to, but the customer service and selection is excellent. Their bakery is very good and the hot food they have ready is also excellent. Their prices are a little high but not outrageous. I stop by there from time to time if I want to feel a little higher class and see lots of yuppie milfs doing their shopping

Publix is the best. We also have Winn Dixie (southeast Grocers) they are pretty good.

We don't have Ingles here, but have shopped there when in N.C. Big, clean, well stocked.

Publix is the best run supermarket chain in the US hands down, it might be because they are employee owned . Super clean stores no matter where they are. They do have prices on the high side but so do a lot of their competitors.

We don't have Publix or PW here. The one that's growing is Winco. They're a chain of employee owned stores across the west. They keep their prices lower than most of the others.

Friend started working at Publix in high school and is now a retired millionaire on Publix stock.

they had Piggly Wiggly right outside Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah Georgia in the 80's , when I was there and a few more thru out the city ,.Abuddy of mine in my platoon was from Illinoi ,He said he would never go in a Piggly Wiggly,.It would be 20 years worth of cool ,right down the drain.I guess a lot of millinials feel the same now ,..Me ..I loved the name

They do take care of their employees.

Nice stores, expensive.

Yeap , Venture I had a snack bar maybe it was a small deli deal with them big ass salted pretzels

I shop at one. My opinion is their meat and fish is marginal. But for most everything else they are ok. Our Costco has better meat and seafood
than our Publix. I dont care to go to that nightmare Costco more than about once every few months. These days I mostly eat venison as my red meat and fish from a local fish market. I usually buy my chicken and pork bulk from GFS.

Publix yoga pant talent in their midday shoppers is unmatched.

Better than Hobby lobby?

I miss Publix.

We have pretty [bleep] stores out here as a whole.
