Publix Super Markets

I love the service that Publix offers in general, and this location has always been exceptional in this category. The cashiers are always very friendly, and there is one bagger there that always goes out of his way to tell you to have a good day or thanks for stopping by… even if you are just walking past him when he is at another register. Parking also seems to be easier at this location than others that I occasionally visit. The prices may not be the best in town, but the buy one get one free specials are what I come in for. Unlike other places, you can buy just one of the BOGO specials and still get it at half price, which is nice if you don’t need that much of a given item. Always a very pleasant shopping experience here!

I love this Publix! It’s clean they always have exactly what I need and the staff go out of their way to be extremely friendly to me each time I go in. The deli meat is really really tasty and me and my husband like to get their deli deals for dinner sometimes. We often get the rotisserie chicken meal. They always have enough cashiers so I don’t have to wait in the check out which is huge in my book especially compared to Wal-​Mart or ALDI. Their produce is always fresh and well stocked. It is more expensive than ALDI and Walmart but the customer service and BOGOs are worth it!

Fresh fried chicken, fresh multi-​grain bread, fresh Heath bar cookies… Other than than that I just still to my Winn-​Dixie. The people are always nice, though… So there’s that. Good music, too.

A very good store!

I come here every day, practically.
I’m not a bargain hunter, so I can’t speak about prices.
But, in general, I feel better having shopped here than at any grocery type store. I literally leave with a positive feeling. That’s the kind of friendly they are.
Can’t really say that about a certain discount superstore, can you? Of course not.
I just like shopping here.

Man, this place was PACKED on Super Bowl Sunday!!! It is a nice branch in a very convenient location for anybody living in the Mountain Brook, Highland area that appreciates higher cost/​higher quality goods and service. If you’re not into paying much for groceries, you got Winn Dixie and Walmart just around the corners. If you can get in and out while buying the items on sale that they have every week, you’ll be doing great! The app is very helpful on the smartphone; you can create shopping lists from their weekly ads which shows all items on sale and their rocking Buy One Get One deals. I tear these things up; and it feels excellent looking at the box on the bottom which tells me how much I saved! Woohoo for saving money! This is a classy grocery chain blossoming up into Alabama from the Sunshine State. Check it out; I’m telling you, get in here for the sales they offer especially. That’s pretty much all I buy here. Shh… I feel like I’m cheating the system, but it feels so good.

Yes, Publix is a chain. I’m generally a no-​chain girl. But, with grocery stores, that can be difficult. But, Publix is awesome. They have everything I need to survive: organic fruit and veggies, almond butter, hormone-​free chicken, and they even have some of the more obscure things I like. For example, they carry Justin’s Maple Almond Butter. It is by far the BEST almond butter I’ve ever had (try it, you’ll thank me! especially if you’re trying to go paleo or cut out legumes like peanuts). I also try to avoid dairy and soy, making milk choices limited. I prefer coconut milk to almond milk any day, but, again, it can be hard to find. This Publix tends to keep the Silk Coconut Milk in stock! Yay!
Another plus to shopping at Publix instead of some other chain grocery stores is that it is always clean, the staff helpful and friendly, the parking lot is well lit and generally has some type of guard or police officer there at night, and their store brand is fabulous. When in doubt, go to Publix!

I really like Publix, and this location is the one I go to most often when I’m in town. Nice, clean store with friendly people and a great selection of groceries –especially organics– and non-​groceries. Their pharmacy even has an automated system that call to let you know your prescriptions are ready for pick-​up (new to me. I don’t do prescriptions but my friend does). I’d recommend this store to anyone.
