This Florida-based supermarket chain has stolen my heart.

Their yummy snacks, heat-and-eat freezer meals and quirky decor have made me a loyal fan for years.

Publix is an employee-owned supermarket chain with locations throughout the Southeast.

But there are certain things that I always make room for in my shopping cart.

Here’s my list of must-buy items at Publix.

Raspberries

I love toppingovernight oatsandchia puddingwith freshraspberries, but they can be expensive.

This way, I can buy exactly how much I need and still enjoy the savings.

Typically, there will be a loaf that they’ll slice and wrap up for me.

They’re made to order with your choice of bread, meat, cheese, veggies and condiments.

I like to load mine up with lots of veggies: cucumbers, spinach, onions and green peppers.

Chopped Salad Kits

Sometimes, making salad can feel like such a chore.

Publix sells a bunch of different options, and they often go on sale for two for $7.

Black beans and rice is now one of our go-to dinners, and it’s so simple and healthy.

I’ll find things like chicken kebabs, stuffed jalapeno peppers and meatloaf.

Their ready-to-cook seasoned meatballs are delicious with pasta or a simple salad.

They’re sold in packs of 12 meatballs, so we usually have leftovers for another meal.

I typically buy the unsweetened variety, and it costs $4.11 at my local Publix.

I can sometimes find it at a 2-for-1 price, and I definitely stock up on those occasions.
