If you shop at Sweetbay please post & introduce yourself. If you'd like to talk about your store, and what your favorite and least favorite things about your store are, what your best deal was etc. we would like to hear from you!

I don't have one near me yet but they are building one near me on HWY 27 in Davenport, FL. Always interested in finding a new store.

I hate their ads. They suck!

They do have nice stores and wine tags are more common there it seems.

I don't shop there much but, my husband loves to buy meat there.

That's all I got. LOL

I'm a Sweetbay shopper! I used to shop there exclusively, but I got sidetracked for a while with Publix. I do love Sweetbay, though. Their brand frozen gourmet foods are fantastic! I noticed that their ads are pretty bad sometimes. I think this week was all of 4 or 6 pages, IIRC.

The ones I shop at are in Tampa. If there is anyone in the area, I can tell you exactly where. Nice stores, nice people.

I'm in St. Petersburg, FL. There is a Sweetbay within a reasonable walking distance of my house (and we have only one car), so my son and I run over there for milk, etc, once a week or so - or for some hard-to-find item for a new recipe. Sweetbay has a great selection of Latin, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai, English, etc ingredients. They also have great cheeses and an olive bar, and (my store at least) has a fabulous fish counter.


We don't buy most of our staples there, though, because generally speaking, their prices are really high compared to Publix, (although I agree with the previous post about their house brand of gourmet frozen goodies, they're great, and totally worth the price.)


I also like that I'm familiar with their Hannaford brand - I'm from Maine originally, and ShopNSave is where my mother shops - I like that she can try one of their house products, and tell me about it, and I can buy it here.

I really agree that they should put more effort into their ads. I never really see anything that makes me say "Oh boy, I can't miss THAT!"

I shop there once in a while, love the meats. If you watch the meat Dept, they have great markdowns on high quality cuts. I find SweetBay to be expensive otherwise. My SweetBay will take competitor coupons
(not printables) which is a plus. My store never has WT's that aren't WPN.

I love Sweetbay for their meats and deli section. They do have some good sales, but not many of them. Usually only a few good sale prices each week.Also their frozen gourmet section is excellent as stated above.

Well, my mom and I shop at Sweetbay a little bit, but they are generally more expensive. However, there stores are nice and there meat dept. is great. Shop at Sweetbay in Largo/Seminole area.

I shop at the SweetBay in Holiday. Only for limited items though. Frozen, Deli and some meats. They do occasionally have a few deals. I prefer Publix.

I am new to this my sis has been doing this whole couponing thing for a while. So now I am interested.
I think I found a deal at SweetBay. Tide is on sale for 4.99 and I have a Publix coupon for $2 off and a mf coupon for .35off I called my SB and asked if they would take a Publix coupon and they said yes. Sounds like a deal to me. I am in central florida
