grocery store

[vfb2girls]

We will be using a towncar for our transportation from the airport to our resort and since I requested a 30 minute grocery stop is there a preference on what grocery store to shop at? The last time we used a towncar service we ended up in this dinky grocery store where the prices where ridiculous and since we didn't know better we excepted this store. But I want to be able to save a few bucks on groceries. Also do all grocery stores in Orlando sell wine and hard liquer? We will not be traveling on a Sunday. Thanks

Ask to go to Publix - if the isn't "en route" see if there is a Winn Dixie. I'm partial to Publix. These are large chain supermarkets.

Are you comming from the airport? If so you will probably be on the Greeneway (417). If so have the driver take you to the Publix on Orange Blossom Trail, its right on the way and they sell liquor. There is also and Albertsons on that road that sells liquor.

Avoid Winn Dixie like the plague! They are not very clean, and their food is often out of date!

I love Publix, I wish we had them where I live...not the fanciest grocery stores, but the staff has always been helpful, the stores clean and they carry a very nice selection of products.

I believe you can purchase wine and beer at the grocery stores and must go to a liquor store for hard liquor. We are using Murray Hill and there is a liquor store next to the grocery store they stop at ... I think it's a Publix ... they even give you a list of items and what aisle they can be found in ...

Thank you for the replys, we will be coming from the airport and I will suggest to the driver that we would like to go to a Publix. Is there anyplace close to DD that sells hard liquer? I am not familiar with DD.
