We are checking into our place at Watersound this Saturday. According to mapquest, we are 14 minutes from the Publix in PCB and 11 minutes from the Publix in Watercolor. Which one do you think is better? We will be shopping for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack foods for the week. I like a grocery store with many selections. But I also appreciate a store that has upscale items and prepared foods.
I would like to buy local produce. Any suggestions?
How about a great bakery?
Whichever Publix you choose, remember:
1-Get your seafood at Goatfeathers or Shrimpers. A lot of the Publix stuff isn't fresh.
2-Absolutely, positively, pick up a key lime pie.
3-The French hamburger rolls at the bakery are SO much better than packaged buns. They are the same ones they use at Flip Flops.
4-The rotisserie chickens are really good and are cheap, too.
5-If you're going to Destin, pick up your wine at Chan's. Definitely cheaper than Publix, but not enough so to justify burning $10 worth of gas and an hour of time.
6-And my new top-secret recommendation....
Get the
organic Lays chips. To my palate, they taste noticeably better than their standard equivalents. Publix sometimes keeps them with the rest of the chips, and sometimes in a separate organic section. But they will be there, somewhere.
