Lower Prices in the Publix Berry Dept.!

Bummer - I was there yesterday and raspberries were $$! :(

Hah, I was at Publix today in SoTamp and could not believe there wasn't a crowd around the chicken breasts. Then I remembered nobody else in the store had gotten Jdarg's announcement. :lol:

I noticed the prices were lower on berries at Sams also. We bought jumbo containers of blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. YUMMY!! Wish they were this good price all the time...

I'm still confused by the prices at grocery stores. Gas prices more than doubled and grocery prices went up and container size decreased. In some cases, container size decreased by at least 25%, while price increased or remained the same as the larger package. Then, gas prices decreased by more than 50% fairly quickly, but the grocery prices for many things continues to tick up, and more package contents are getting further reduced.

Are grocery prices increasing because as the economy tightens, more people are cooking at home more often? Is the grocery store making more money, or, are the food manufactures making more money?

Eat more berries!

When blueberries hit $1/oz I had to cry UNCLE.

I am in love with Publix WaterColor. I love that I can pop in every single day, they have every single thing I may need, get in and out in a hurry (its not a huge store) and I know the folks who are so friendly and helpful. I really love the place and the people.

BUT, I do need to try to be more cognizant of sales. I shop almost daily for different things I need for meals, etc, so the timing of sales isn't very relevant to me usually. gotta change my strategy.

thanks jdarg!

Can anyone tell me the current Watercolor Publix raspberry price? This thread is making me crave them! I believe they were $4.89 saturday - too $$ for me. :wave:

You might want to check the origin of those berries. I believe it's just the end of the growing season in South America. I'm sticking with the time honored tradition that there is a berry season and unfortunately I'll have to wait for local berries.

Did JDarg get a side job as a Publix sale information disseminator? Kinda like a "lady on the street" endorser? Hmm..... First meats, then fruits. Are veggies and carbs next? How are the mac and cheese specials, or the suhweeet potatoes..

Well, the blueberry prices have been simply hideous and obscene. So, the sale is welcome, to say the least.

I get the sales flyer for Fresh Market by e-mail. They're listing 6oz of blueberries for $0.98. Place of origin- Chile.

:floor:...jdarg as a WalMart greeter is almost too perfect.

Hey, jdarg, don't let them give you a hard time. :lol: I went to Publix the day you posted about the chicken and stocked up. Yesterday was the last day of the sale, and I saw one woman who had apparently grabbed every package they had left.

What daughter and fiance do is go to the Publix website and plan their meals based on what is on sale. Great idea! They live within walking distance of a Publix in Midtown, so they don't even have to waste money on gas!

Apparently a local sowaller had an entire cart full. :floor:

Geo and I put a major dent in their NY strip supply when they were $6.99. Think they actually had to go cut some more! 😀
