Publix fills prescriptions for oral antibiotics like Cipro for free. FREE! Did you know this? Unbelievable, and much appreciated by folks like me without insurance and with a case of colon critters. Thank you Publix.
And don’t think I’m completely naive, folks. I know why they do this: So I’ll buy stuff while they enter me in their little database and count those little magic pills into a bottle. Fine with me. I bought some chicken. Some Mardis Gras chicken wings (TM), to be precise. Some yummy Mardis Gras chicken wings (TM) – now only $6.69/lb in the Publix Deli.
Publix: Where shopping is a pleasure (R). Passionately focused on customer value, intolerant of waste; dedicated to the dignity, value and employment security of their associates; devoted to the highest standards of stewardship for their stockholders, and involved as responsible citizens in their communities.
And free exterminators of Stinky Pete the Ugandan parasite.
Brad says:
Stinky Pete is a good name.

I heart Publix as well. Clean stores and free samples, too. Last week after church, the nice sample lady provided us with two plump coconut shrimp and a side of chocolate cherry cheesecake.
Anne Jackson says:
So very glad you are now waging a battle against your little bugger.
I am ever so thankful for Doug Van Pelt’s Cipro. My colon is better than new. I had cheesecake for breakfast.
amy says:
Agreed! I blog frequently about the merits of Publix!
Glad you’re feeling better, and thank you for sharing your powerful stories!
anon4him says:
Why can’t I remember what the name stinky pete is from?
Texas in Africa says:
Um, are Mardi Gras chicken wings perhaps the best way to settle down Stinky Pete?
Seriously, I’m glad you went to the doctor and that Publix (whose CEO is a Baylor grad) has a good policy on these things.
Andrea says:
Stinky Pete is the Prospector from Toy Story!
Hooray for Publix and Cipro to get rid of it all!
Feel better, Shaun.

Gross…Stinky Pete???….I DON”T WANNA KNOW.
Jeff says:
Do Mardi Gras wings come with little teeny tiny bead necklaces?
Lori@The Bargain Shopper Lady says:
WOW, I hope I am moving near a Publix. That is just a great deal! I hope your “Stinky” friend leaves you soon!
Blessings,

There’s a Publix right in front of our pediatrician’s office. Love it! We fill our prescriptions there even when they are not free… simply out of appreciation (and it’s convenient!)
Katherine says:
Jeff, that was hilarious! Favorite.
