Everyone's wanting the Publix to open, but they're really, really expensive. Other than sale items and specialized deli items, I cannot afford Publix for "big groceries."
Aldi's does "inexpensive" better than anyone else in town, but Publix does "variety" better.
Right now no one in Florence carries pastrami except Wal-mart. And they don't always have it.
When Winn Dixie was here, I could always find a few "unusual" things to try. That's where I got my first taste of Stilton cheese. Now that Food World is in the same site, I'm lucky if I can find sliced Swiss cheese 1/3 of the times I visit.

Publix will have pastrami. When Winn-Dixie was here, they had some excellent, very lean pastrami. The absence of a place where good pastrami can be dependably found is a certain sign of a decaying society! Zager's deli in Nashville used to have the best pastrami sandwiches in the universe. Don't know if they are still around.
