Smiling Joe...I agree with you 100% !!! why in the world would you take the whole family grocery shopping? I'm sure that they don't do that at home. I try not to take my kids or my husband to the store!!! and that goes double for vacation ;-) our gang would much rather stay at the beach than go to the store with me!!!!

It's bad enough having to spend time food shopping while on vacation. I can't think of one reason why I would take everybody, when I can go by myself, get in and out in 30 minutes, and they can go play at the beach with Bdarg and be happy. Taking the whole family is a time waster and good mood killer! Plus Publix has way too many beach toys displayed. I wouldn't be able to get Kate past the entrance where they have all that stuff!

I bring all the food that I can pack- the goal being only having to buy perishables- so I only have to hit the perimeter of the store. Works great.

So, do you think what you save on taking all that food with you is worth the extra gas needed to pull the UHaul?

We do the Es-car-go. Must be a Midwestern thing to bring everything but the kitchen sink to the beach. :oops:

Well, we take a lot, but I get the idea it's only a fraction of the stuff found on The List Jen-ay makes. But I also have a feeling once I see it, I'll probably convert.

Ha ha- you laugh now seesta, but when you need that EVOO, or toasted pecans, or wooden skewers, or gallon size baggies, don't come whining to me!

Wish I was making THE list right now.:roll:

I know that. I just don't want to spend beach time walking up and down the aisle at Publix! I grit my teeth every second that I am there and not hanging with the kids on the beach.

Amen. Same reason we pack everything but the kitchen sink. Our owners closet looks like a supermarket!

My husband and I are not spring breakers but are tourists at Inlet Beach every year. We have on occasion gone to the Winn Dixie on PC Beach Parkway to shop. What a mistake! And you are right, between 4 and 5 on Saturday all the tourists are in the stores shopping for their stay that have just gotten into town. You cannot move anywhere down the aisles. I prefer the Walmart Supercenter. Not near as crowded and plenty of checkouts open. We stopped and picked up some bread and cereal and milk and something for sandwiches and chips Saturday afternoon to tide us over until Sunday and then we hit Walmart. Sure was a difference. I do not live there and even I do not like the aisles being totally blocked with people leaving their baskets in the middle where you cannot get around. I at least have the courtesy to move my basket to one side. Would not come near the place ever during spring break time!

Ladydebubba, you need to check out the new Publix on the west end of PCB. It is there normal size store as opposed to the 20,000sf Publix at WaterColor. ;-)
