Supermarkets in St. Cloud, FL

“Clean and friendly with a few specialty items, cannot beat their fruit costs and the ground beef was half of what Publix charged. They also have a fun aisle of clearance non-food items that can turn up some real gems for household or personal care. Sometimes plants, sometimes clothing - always a surprise.. The selection is not as broad as Publix and you must figure out how to bag and get your groceries out to your car otherwise buy bags but that’s smart and prevents waste. I’ve yet to figure out how to retrieve my quarter back when returning my cart so I just give mine to the next guy. I’d much prefer a Trader Joe’s but St. Cloud has become a magnet for low income and this is what we’re left with. This, and 50 dollar stores that are no longer dollar; oh yes and can’t forget the storage unit places, we have those in spades. I digress, don’t sleep on Aldi’s.”

“This was my first time shopping at Aldi, and I can say that all this would have cost me $300 and more at Walmart, I decided to go because someone told me that Aldi was very cheaper than Walmart, so I took the opportunity, and wow really very good prices and quality, highly recommended, I will continue buying here ⭐️”

“I loved it It was spacious easy to find things except for the thing that I came with but that's a whole other story but it's a beautiful store easily accessible very kind people and I'm looking forward to going there again-Ashley Cobb NRP”

“I called to ask a question and Jenelle in customer service was very polite, very friendly from her saying hello right to the end of the conversation! Great job!!!!”

“Today I met the General Manager Mark of the district and Publix never fails on its customer service from the Deli to the seafood counter and the cashiers who are always there with a smile. I wanted to recognize a great employer and he took the time to listen and praise the employee Manager Rey on the spot. Publix as an organization please continue with the great hospitality within your companies training. It really does pay off. Thank you!”

“I’ve always had a good experience at this pharmacy. But I want to say that CJ is the heart of that pharmacy. He always greets me with a smile, knows just what I’m there for, answers any questions and leaves me laughing. Thank you CJ for making medicine fun. Publix I hope you know what a good asset he is!”

“Our once small town has more than doubled in size but the city leaders failed at planning-I find it hard to believe they even went to college but I digress. We lack goods and services which means the Walgreens pharmacy is understaffed and customers are stacked 20 deep both outside at the single lane drive through (aka parking lot) and inside at the counter - at 11 a.m, on any random Wednesday.

The poor things working in there have absolutely accepted their fate as they go through the motions from counseling, translating, to mumbling ‘Proximo’ - quite depressing for all involved. There was a time you could walk in and a little old retiree named Betty would enthusiastically shout ‘welcome to Walgreens!’; but Betty’s been off-shored.

Being fed up myself and knowing my brother uses Publix RX, I whipped around to the adjacent side of the gridlocked parking lot to the Publix pharmacy where RX’ing is a pleasure!! There, like an alternate universe I found: No wait, no line, no problem, and they even pulled my Walgreens history over to become our family’s go-to.; which must have taken the patience of a saint and hours to accomplish.

I will never go back to the dark side of the ‘shopping plaza’ but I secretly also hope no one near me reads this because I would love to keep this Huge Perk - top secret.

Picked up my RX, in and out in 10 minutes as I drove past the poor people stacked 20 deep at Walgreens. 10 stars!”

“What a great experience I had today at the neighborhood Mart! I was trying to find the spiral honey hams for Easter and was looking lost in the meat section when a wonderful employee offered me help rather than waiting to be asked. He told me where they were and even walked me there. And then when we got there he told me that they were in the process of marking them down since it was the last day before Easter. He stayed and chatted with me and it was a wonderful experience with a great person. I wish I was smart enough to get his name. 1 million times - thank you for your kindness on a very busy day for both of us. Walmart if you know who he is, hold on to him!”
