Company Review: Publix Grocery

RE: Company Review: Publix Grocery By PupperMom (121) Profile Contact Another Publix fan here--in our area, they DO give away food that is nearing the expiration date to soup kitchens and food banks. So, rethink the "greed" aspect here. Rather than make a discounted buck on it, they're giving it away. There's another large grocery chain nearby here in the South (that will remain nameless--but if you live in the South, you can probably guess which one it is) that does mark down meat close to expiration--except, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot-pole, slashed price or not--because you can practically smell the meat counter (and Lord knows what else) when you walk in the front door. Sometimes a bargain--is really not a bargain. Posted on 09/24/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Company Review: Publix Grocery By notwrong (81) Profile Blog! Contact I was most definately in a Pulbix Grocery store and I was most definately told by the meat market manager at that particular store that they throw the meat away. I was very surprised at this fact because usually there is no problem with aged beef - I do hesitate buying aged chicken due to potential problems. I was actually so surprised that I asked him again if that was true. He stated that it was store policy. If yours in your area does donate to food banks and the such then I am most happy but the one that I visited stated that the store policy was that they thow the meat away. Due to what I was told I will not visit that store again. If I am in the neighborhood for a grocery and publix is there I will ask the policy since it seems that they might have different policies. Thanks for letting me know that your store operates differntly and that this might not be a national chain policy.

If a store ever doesn't sell a food product because it is expired they are doing it for your safety. If you got sick on that meat you would be even more angry. I suggest either going to publix and asking what they do with the meat or go to a food bank. I get the majority of my food from local food banks.

Looks like you were not in your neighborhood. If you had a Publix in your own vicinity, you would know how charitable they are. Please research before you publish an indictment about anything.

Posted on 09/07/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Company Review: Publix Grocery By kghsave (220) Profile Contact Our Publix outshines most stores in the donation department. They close their stores for Christmas and Easter. I haven't had a need as of yet, but they have a list of free oral prescription drugs, including Amoxicillin. Check out their website. We all know we can get discounted meat at Walmart, but I'm afraid I can't associate the word "charitable" with that store...like I can with Publix. Wonderful store. Hope you give them another try. Satisfied customer. :) Posted on 09/06/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Company Review: Publix Grocery By lindal (91) Contact Many stores donate their soon-to -expire stuff to food banks and the like.

Aged beef is a process done before it gets to the grocery store. Posted on 09/06/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Company Review: Publix Grocery By cybergrannie (25) Contact Hello, I would like to speak in defense of Publix. They do not mark down their food but they DO give it to non-profit kitchens where they feed the homeless. I have friends who work for Publix and they give a LOT of food away everyday or so. Many times we only know part of the story so please be careful to know the whole truth before you judge. Publix does not advertise this and most employees do not have this information.

Not to mention their customers. Makes for higher prices, I'm sure. Posted on 09/05/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
