Publix, What Happened to Publix? I have been a customer of Publix since 1980. I have always loved your products, service and cleanliness. Ever since prices have gone up, Publix prices have skyrocked more than anyone. Shops like Aldi, Walmart, Whole foods, Trader Joes & fresh market, etc. businesses have doubled. Where Aldi use to be empty you can no longer get in. I have spoken with many people and they agree. They say that they only shop Publix bogo. With all due respect your bogo is sometimes overpriced. Baby back ribs bogo $6.99 lb. where at walmart $3.29 per pound (just 1 example). Regular pricing, Canada Dry Zero Sugar 12 oz 8 pack Publix $8.75 Walmart $4.64 & 16 oz 6 pack Publix $8.75 Walmart $4.87. Thats almost 50% higher. Thats highway robbery. They might be able to get it cheaper because they order in larger quantities but double? Even the vendors that I speak with stop shopping at Publix except for bogo. When I talk to your employees their response is but our store is cleaner. It doen’t really matter with pre-packaged goods. You can’t use the excuse that prices are up, because you have raised yours considerably more then anyone else. As a devoted fan of Publix, I wish you would respond to these allegations. Thank you.
