We've bought several appliances at Palmer Electric - a washing machine, stove and refrigerator. The salespeople (often Mr. Palmer himself) have always been helpful, but the cashiers leave a lot to be desired. I bought an extended service contract for the washing machine, which was good because I've had to have it serviced every year since we bought it in 2000. Now, this isn't Palmer's fault but the problems I've had with making an appointment for someone to come service it were. It has always taken many phone calls, promises to call back and at least a week before someone came to assess the problem, let alone fix it. We've always had the same serviceman work on the washing machine and he's been great, too -fast, efficient and apologetic for the problems I've had with the office. We purchased all these appliances before there was a Home Depot or Lowe's in the area. Now that we have BOTH of these, I think I'll buy my appliances there from now on.

Although Winn-Dixie sometimes has great loss leader sales, it is my least favorite grocery store of the three big names in town - Publix, Albertson's and Winn-Dixie. It seems to be the dirtiest store to me. Perhaps that's just because it's the oldest and looks dirtiest. Their employees seem to be the least helpful. On more than one occasion, I've stood at a checkout register or at the customer service desk and not even been acknowledged for several minutes. If you see me in Winn-Dixie, you'll know they are having a fabulous sale on something!

Our Save-A-Lot has some low prices but not the kind of prices I hear people across the country talk about. I will sometimes see sale prices in their advertising flier that I'll go in for but not very often. They had potatoes at an exceptional price about six months ago and their price on bananas is usually 20 cents less per pound than Wal*Mart's (which usually has the lowest prices in town). Our Save-A-Lot does not have many name brand products and, of course, you have to pack your own groceries which is hard for me since I have muscular dystrophy and am not supposed to lift anything heavier than 5 pounds. The store was revamped in the last couple of months and seems to be a bit cleaner now. I'll pick up a few things when I pay my bill at TECO, which is right next door, but shop here much more than that.

I don't know what happened to this doughnut shop! It used to be a nice, clean Dunkin'' Donuts that we stopped at once or twice each month. Dunkin' Donuts often had coupons in the paper with great deals so we took advantage of those. I don't know what happened to Dunkin' Donuts but Donut King is an awful replacement. The store is dirty, the employees are rude and the donuts are nowhere near as good. However, this is also a Shell station and they often have a good price on gasoline so check the price as you're driving by and you may want to stop and gas up.

When my husband and I ate at Cafe Avon, we were truly disappointed. We felt the food was overpriced and not very good. We also thought the menu choices were very limited. This restaurant opened several years ago and seems to have prospered (they've enlarged their tiny restaurant); however, so maybe we missed what other people seem to have found.
