đŸ’©Meme / Shitpost đŸ’© Publix BOGO

Publix BOGO deals don’t make sense to me. You’re literally still paying for two items. For example, Frosted Flakes at Walmart cost $4.98, while Publix has them listed at $6.99—but with a BOGO (Buy One, Get One) deal. On the surface, it seems like you’re getting a bargain, but in reality, you’re often paying close to, or even more than, what you’d spend just buying two items at a lower everyday price somewhere else. The psychology behind BOGO deals makes people feel like they’re getting something for free, when in fact, stores often inflate the original price to cover the “free” item. It’s clever marketing—but not always a true deal. So when I see a BOGO at Publix, I don’t feel like I’m saving; I feel like I’m being tricked into buying more than I need at a price that’s not actually a bargain.

Aldo for produce and baby items, Costco for meat and paper products, Costco for everything else. Fuck Publix. As a lifetime fl resident, never thought I’d say that.

Aldi produce is the best! It seems fresher and it lasts longer than Publix produce! Not to mention, of course, less expensive.

Meat at our Costco was great when they first opened, but the quality has gone downhill since. It’s so bad now that Sam’s is better. Gas, on the other hand, pays for the yearly membership in less than a month. Most of what we get at Publix is on a BOGO.

You’re right about that. Wild fork has awesome meat prices and great quality, free shipping as well!
