Publix shops

May 29, 2021 06:35AM
Is Publix still being shopped? For the first time in YEARS I have not seen them on the boards. I am in South Florida if that helps. I did my final one of the rotation this afternoon and I was wondering if it was my last shop. Somebody please let me know-THanks.

I know a bunch of us got dropped from the Publix program. I guess it was time to add new blood. All I can see now is the burger shops.

Interesting, I thought they just were not longer doing mystery shops. Loved doing them, but I'm moving in a few months anyway out of state so time to start looking for the Kroger shops..lol !

Yes, but they're cutting down the number per month. I still see them pretty frequently and do them on occasion.

I don't know if you have any Harris Teeter shops in your area, but monthly they shop a nearby Publix as a competitor shop, at least in my area (SC). So I get to do Publix without having to buy the sandwiches!! And I actually make a decent fee PLUS a reimbursement!!

Harris Teeter is only in the Carolinas. There aren't any in Florida or Georgia where the majority of Publix's are located.

I notice that once you have done the maximum number of shops they disappear for a while. I think you can only sign up for 4 at one time.
I have quite a few in the next few weeks and they are not showing up on the shop baord at this time.
Guess I will have to wait to see if they show up after I have completed the shops. Hopefully, they will appear again in a few weeks.

I'm in Georgia and do Publix as well as the competitor shops at Kroger and Harris Teeter. I haven't noticed my opportunities to take those shops being reduced.
