I have received a TON of emails about the sad announcement that at the end of the month, Publix will be discontinuing their Curbside service.
While I never used this service as it was intended, I found myself on the Curbside page many times everyday looking up product prices. I have had tons of comments on the site, on my Facebook page and via email. Many of you also use the service to plan your menus and weekly grocery lists.
Coupon Guy made a good point that I think might be beneficial for the folks at Publix to think about:
I think if Publix received hundreds of e-mails regarding a Product/Pricing Database, they may realize that Curbside Service really did have exceptional value for their customers. It just wasn’t the exact value they had planned.
So, if you are so inclined, consider letting Publix know your feeling about the Curbside service. It may be that they don’t realize what a unique opportunity they have to keep a leg up on the competition!
I, too, used the curbside service to check prices. I will GREATLY miss this service.
I just sent an email to Publix. Maybe we can all send emails requesting the ability to price check still be made available. Who knows…. Publix is awesome when it comes to customer service so if enough of their customers request it…
what is curbside service?
price checker for me too
I have never heard of Curbside service?!?!?? hmmmmm….
I didn’t know about this service – would have been AWESOME to use! No point in trying now.
I’m with those who were not aware of this service and therefore never used it. But, it sounds like it would have been a great tool.
I think they should keep the website up for people that like to price check. It is very convenient and helps people that are on a budget.
Just emailed them and put in my request! I think everyone who uses curbside for price checking should request. It’s simple. Just go to contact us on the publix website and go from there!
Yes, I used it a lot. Especially for items not on sale that I couldn’t wait for a sale on. It helped a great deal in planning even if it was off a few cents, it was better to have an idea of a price than nothing.
Just went on their website and sent them an email! Lets hope if hundreds of us do the same, maybe they’ll consider keeping the database of items/prices.
I sent an e-mail to Publix showing my disappointment in losing the ability to check products and prices online. I also asked if they could create a database with the ability to check products and prices. I hope they get a lot of similar e-mails.
Just sent an email!
I sent them the following message via their website:
I have recently been made aware that you are discontinuing your curbside service. Although I have never taken advantage of this service for the use in which it was intended, I did benefit from it by making use of the pricing database. As I am limited to a strict budget a pricing database is a convenience to me in planning my weekly grocery trip to my local Publix supermarket and making use of this feature allows for little surprise about what my grocery bill will be by the time I get to the checkout. Please reconsider discontinuing this feature or at the very least keep a products/pricing database available to those of us that prefer to plan our shopping trip ahead of time. Thanks for your time.
just sent an email…i will miss the price checking capability!
e-mailed. I will miss checking prices.
such a good idea. I have done just that!
Oh no!! I use it all the time for price checking.
I’m emailing!
what is curbside?
Sent off my email even though I never knew that service existed. It is well worth my email to them for you to be able to have the information you need to continue doing what you do and saving us all money every day!
Thanks so much
I will GREATLY miss this service. I use to check the price too.
NEVER HEARD OF THIS, WHAT IS IT ?
Not a surprise, it went the way of the delivery service too
Very sad!! :(
I will miss checking the prices so much. I will really miss it. Hope that they can keep the website going just for price checking.
Yes love curbside. Will miss it greatly.
I emailed and hope Publix will not get rid of Curbside.
I love it!!!!!!!!!
I too loved Publix Curbside. I drove 20 minutes out of my way to use the service. I found the service to be a blessing, as I was caring for both of my terminally ill parents in my home and it was the fastest way for me to shop without leaving them for too long. My mother was totally incapacitated, so I would have to time when I went to the grocery store to when someone would be with her. Although both my parents have now passed, I still wish that Publix would bring back the service.
