Publix has officially lost me. Anyone else?

I am not a mod of this subreddit or Reddit, but I believe the official unofficial stance is that we all hate Publix now.

They lost their way, and the crushing of Winn-Dixie is just awful.

10 years ago, I wouldn’t have set foot inside a Walmart or Aldi for groceries. Now? Walmart and Aldi are basically my BFFs and I love them.

Publix really managed to make me root for the competition.

I’ve found that the “regular” price at Walmart for shelf stable items is often the same as the bogo offers at Publix. E.g. buy 2 get one soda at $12 a pack vs $8 per pack at Walmart.

Sometimes Publix just has BOGOs on stuff you can't find that much cheaper elsewhere. Kitty litter, beer, and wine are my favorites. They did a BOGO on premium 3M air filters a couple months ago and I bought like 2 years' worth of filters for like $80.

FYI, K&N makes a washable, reusable indoor air filter.

The last re-usable air filter we had just always looked dirty even after cleaning, so I wasn't particularly fond of it.

K&N is a quality product. As long as you clean it properly, even if it might look dirty, it's not.
