A pretty clean Winn Dixie. They had UTZ brand chips and pretzels, which is unusual because UTZ used to only deliver within a day's range of their plant in Hanover, Pennsylvania. Like almost every Winn Dixie, their products were marked up steeply to account for the loss they would take on the BOGO items. Example: something that normally costs $2.00 is marked up to $3.25 a week or so before it goes on BOGO. They get a week of business of people buying the single product at inflated price, and then a week of the product being $.75 off of 2, or what amounts to $.375 off of each item individually. Normal sales in other stores would equate to the $2.00 item being marked down to $1.50, saving $.50 on each individual item

Other chains are guilty too, just not by as much...

There is one (bag boy) for lack of a better term that always asks if we need assistance or if we found everything we needed. He is always willing to help us out to the car with our groceries. Lastly if we ever need assistance in the meat dept the manager (I think) always goes out of his way to make sure he can provide us with the cuts of meat we are looking for (if available). We would rather shop here for food than go to WalMart because the customer service is better on so...
