Parking was easy…read moreand convenient, which always helps when you are just trying to get in and grab a few things. Inside, everything looked good. They had nice salads, refresh drinks, and a lot of little instant meal options that were useful while traveling. I picked up some lighter items, a few snacks, and some chips, and they had exactly what I needed. The staff were very friendly and the whole visit went smoothly. Publix did exactly what I needed it to do, and I am giving them 5 stars.

They have local beers, coffee, conecuh sausage, etc. The Pig does a fantastic job of stocking local stuff. My qualms begin at the produce department. This is a smaller grocery store, so there is naturally less selection. I wanted a head of butter lettuce, and all of what the had expired five days ago, no mark downs. The wall with all the greens was also poor labeled and a bit wilted. Ice cream in the frozen section was a bit frosted over. The staff here is nice, and they often have a sommelier on site!

I know they have made some changes since it first opened, but it did feel sort of less cluttered. I say that because while the aisles felt wider, the produce less crammed, and a back corner reconfigured, I still have never mastered the art of shopping Trader Joe's. The placement of items seems so random to me, and unituitive. Why are there peanut butter cups and harissa above frozen vegetables? Why are cookies over nearly everything frozen from dinner entrees to breakfasts? It can be a little frustrating for 'compartmental shoppers.' If you want fresh flowers, make sure you go early in the day for the best selection. And if you're going for flowers near the end of the week, be also forewarned that a number of church flower guilds use TJ to create and/or supplement their weekly arrangements because TJ gets some unique flowers in smaller bunches at decent prices.

I'm a fan of Publix's bogo deals, hot food bar, and sushi section; I love trying something new each visit. Their fruits are also a fav, I appreciate the pre packaged variety. Their pre-made sandwiches are great for a grab and go snack, I also like to take them on my hiking trips. My sorority sisters helped me discover "pub subs" in undergrad and they're still an easy choice for lunch or dinner when I'm feeling lazy. Glad to have this place in my area!

They also have a ton of stuff to try, but it does seem a little like Trader Joes - a lot of speciality foods, most of which are out of normal budget.

And the beer and wine is on an odd aisle in the middle of the store, right next to the frozen pizzas? No. And why is the peanut butter and jelly with the eggs right by the pharmacy? None of it makes sense to me. My main gripe is that I came on Sushi Wednesday around 6pm, hoping for an easy, cheap dinner. I located the sushi and picked out what looked good to me, only to find out at the register that what I selected was not included in the $5 promo. Apparently they had sold out and all the $5 options were gone. I didn't realize this, as nothing was marked with the discount, so I just assumed all that was left was included. Btw, what was left was all california rolls, not even anything with salmon/tuna. Just a general gripe about grocery stores nowadays: I do not want to do self check out. Hire the right amount of people to work at your store. Have enough lanes open. Not everything in the world should be so that you cannot speak to somebody else.
