re: TulaneLSU's statistical analysis of the merits and ratings of Publix, H-E-B, and Rouses

While rouses seems to be a middle of the pack grocery store it is so much better than Publix.

I agree TulaneLSU.

I have never been to a HEB unfortunately.

However if you are making a gumbo or red beans and rice the only mass grocery chain that will facilitate this is Rouses. It is unabashedly Louisiana. Their local picks and local stocked items are what truly make it shine.

And the prices aren’t bad either.

Shopping at Rouses feels as much as shopping at a neighborhood grocery as a chain can get.

Publix is like a vapid soulless Grocery Inc. as possible.

Florida has no soul nor culture and it is embodied in Publix.
