So normally I let my husband do a lot of the grocery shopping because it's the only domestic thing…read morehe likes to do.,, Problem is, if it's on sale, in a clearance cart , he will buy it, regardless if we like it, or eat it and apparently expiration dates have very little value. As a result, we have items in our pantry that no one in our family will ever eat, including our rescue cats who would rather starve than eat generic cat food. So today , we went on a joint shopping trip, buying only necessity items. Problem is, when you walk in,they have the special buys which apparently my husband gravitates towards. I kept removing items as he put them in, but finally we got to the fried chicken area and all was good . Now if we can get him not to buy clearance mint pound cake, this shopping trip will be a success.

Publix has gone downhill. There are always 20 people working in the prepared food area but no one…read moreis helping anyone. For the last month they have been completely slack in preparing chicken. No matter what time of day I go they are out. It's ridiculous. The craziest thing about it was that we waited 20 minutes but the guy pulled the chicken from the hot box. So they had chicken the entire time, but just made a group of people wait . That's not the first time I've seen them do that.

I was so excited when I drove past this olive store. I lived in Italy for two years and love trying…read moreflavored olive oils. I was parking my car and before I could close my door the old lady that works there came running out screaming "I can't park there and it's only for her customers.". I said "yes I know that's why I parked here." I was about to walk in and immediately turned around because if you are that rude to someone before they walk into your store you don't deserve my money. I ordered my olive oils and have them shipped from Italy and a small olive store in Michigan.

This is a fun place to spend a little time sampling oils and vinegars -- so many diverse flavors,…read moreand great staff there to suggest how to mix the flavors and use them at home. Their products are a little more pricey than you would get at a local supermarket, because of the quality, variety, and customer service (free tastings!). If you're looking for a break on the price, look at their website and social media for various discounts on special days or return your empty bottles from the store and refill them for a small discount. Thanks to the Crescent Olive I make my own delicious salad dressings and many of my own sauces for veggies and meat. I love this place and their products.

I needed to grab a few items from the store, so I decided to check out Publix. Publix is that store…read morethat I always find myself spending extra time roaming down each aisle! Not due to it being packed, just me wanting things that aren't on my list:) This store has great finds. Plenty of food to load up your buggy!! The shelves are stocked, the store is clean and so far customer service has been really great. Now, parking can get very hectic at times, so I guess it depends on the time you go. Publix can be kinda pricey, but I have come across some great deals and sales lately. Great location and shopping environment.

Service is quick, plenty of searing indoors, picnic tables outside, large multi-stall restrooms and round tables in the back. The staff are friendly and the food is great. I am a returning customer. New menus have been posted above the ordering register. Tea, water and soft drinks also available. To go is also an option. Honestly, I have not yet found any other breakfast place that can match this omelet. It is exactly what I love and I'm here for it. They are open weekdays early in the morning until around 2PM. They are open the weekends of the Plant and Flower Festivals (Spring and Fall) at the State Farmer Market (W. Columbia). Stop by for breakfast or lunch. They do have a daily special board, as well.

Very kind. The bathroom facilities are clean! We went in a second time and found it easy to find what we needed. Place is pretty clean and organized. The fuel area was good, too. Quick, easy. Lil pricey but I think its's because the gas prices just jumped.

on the positive side, IGA has good customer service. and their deli is good. on the bad side, the…read moreproduce department is horrible. nothing seems fresh. I just bought grapes that went straight into the trash. the dairy is the pits! I haven't gotten a carton of milk from them in years that wasn't swollen from letting it warm up and refrigerated back down to temp. Iand the meat department is not even nearly as good as it was. the butcher can't seem to cut a steak evenly. a steak with one thin side and one thick side is impossible to cook well. long story a bit shorter, IGA hasn't fallen into the Ai hole yet, I just don't buy produce, dairy or steak from IGA. it's better than FoodLion though since they actually have cashiers at their registers

I love Rosewood Market, and it's really a staple of the local community! I love shopping here due…read moreto the fact that the vast majority of items are locally and freshly made, making it easier to support state farmers and local businesses, and ensuring that your produce wasn't sitting in the back of a truck for weeks before you buy it. They also have a lot of niche items that you can't find at your big-box stores, making it great for specialty-product lovers (in my case, coffee!) like myself! My only gripe, and the reason for four (4) instead of five (5) stars, is that it's VERY expensive. Let me reiterate that I like to support local businesses, and I completely understand that items are not going to be quite as cheap as the major grocery chains; but, some of the products are so expensive that I can't justify spending that much money on them. As such, I can only go to Rosewood Market to buy an item or two, and can't shop there as much as I'd like to. Anyhow, I do love Rosewood Market, and would encourage everyone to at least stop in!

Just moved back to SC and was looking for a natural market with a mix of healthy options. I really…read moreenjoyed exploring Rosewood market, there was so much stuff that impressed me. It's such a cute shop located in downtown Columbia. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. They have so many alternative food options and herbs to choose from. There was a wall of some of the best herbs out there and their vitamin/supplements section had so many different and rare options that you don't normally see in stores. They also sell local items which is always nice to see and a preference for me when shopping. There is also a hot food section with some really delicious options. Perfect for a quick lunch break. I tried the vegan meatballs which were made with pea protein and were so delicious. They had the perfect meatball texture, seasoned really well, and the sauce that came on it was so good. You also get 3 sides and a house-made sauce, so I choose spaghetti squash, potatoes, and broccoli with the spicy mayo sriracha as my sauce. All the sides had really light flavors in terms of seasoning, but were all still really good. The sauce was also really good. They really fill your plates up so you definitely get more bang for your buck. They provide an outside seating area as well as utensils so you can eat and enjoy your food. Don't skip the desserts by the deli, there were so delicious options that provided gluten free and some vegan treats. I also saw that they offer free yoga every Sunday at 2pm and Wednesdays at 6pm! I will definitely be by for yoga and back to shop more and try more of the deli meals!

I knew this place was small from a past visit but ultimately they do have low priced mums compared to Walmart. Their pumpkins on the other hand are $12 for one compared to $3 at Walmart. Their outdoor stock is most likely seasonal not that large but enough. Inside the building is produce, not anything too exotic fruit wise. I did see a tomato pie in the freezer, yum. If you're unlucky that State farmers market is closed this is a more limited alternative.
