Grocery Stores Decatur Alabama April 8, 2008

So you need to go to the grocery store, but there are none here that you recognize. How can you know the quality, selection, cleanliness, or over all feel of a store until you go in it? Well here is my top pick of where to shop. Publix. The people who work there are friendly, the store has always been clean when I have gone in, and the selection is great. There are three things though that make Publix the best grocery store in the Decatur Alabama area:

1. If they don’t carry it, you can ask them to and they will get it for you. That easy. Yay!!! I got my favorite espresso roast ground coffee that way, and Rosarita Refried Beans.
2. They have fresh made daily sushi. Yes, FRESH!!!!!! I go quite often and get California Rolls for me and my daughter. Rates right up there quality wise with Katsu (San Marcos, CA Restraunt Row).
3. They will take your groceries to the car and load them in for you. You don’t tip them for this service, just fyi. I have had to insist that I can take my groceries to my car by myself a few times. hehehe

They have great sales as well, beating all the competitors prices, lets you stock up on things like juice, canned vegetables, and whatever. They pull out the stops there for over all feel and selection.

Also, they have a great produce department. Not as great as you would find at Henry’s Market, Ralph’s or Von’s but very decent, well stocked, and items are always fresh.

No matter what side of town you live in, it is worth the drive. Of course, that is just my personal opinion!

Happy grocery shopping!
