Winn-Dixie

I bought my daughter’s bridal shower cake here, and Candace did an amazing job on the decorations with instructions by phone. It was just what I wanted, and it got so many compliments. More than one person said it was the most moist and delicious cake they had eaten in a while. We got a chocolate cake with white, whipped icing and teal accents. Beautiful!
Also, Jim in floral made the most beautiful corsage out of white roses and teal ribbon that I selected from their stock. It was also just what I wanted. The only negative was that somebody (not blaming Jim, may be somebody else’s job) forgot to put a pin on the corsage. The shower was held in a restaurant, and thankfully one of our guests had some straight pins in her purse. Other than that, all was perfect, and the cake and flower prices are fantastic.

Staff is friendly and helpful for the most part, but I’ve had a couple of nightmare experiences with people there, too. (Ultimately these things are an inevitable part of life, however. Don’t we all have our bad days?)
The biggest red flag I would wave, however, is that this, particular store has stolen from us far too many times. It started when some of our groceries were run over the cashier scanner, charging us for them, but then the items weren’t bagged and didn’t come home with us. After noticing this too many times, I started insisting on bagging, myself, which put a surprisingly swift end to the problem. Subsequently, however, I started finding them just charging excess quantities that we don’t have. On one receipt I was charged for 4 not-​cheap items I didn’t have (for example, 2 bottles of $ 10 shampoo instead of the one I had.) During that same shop, although they had a «buy 1 lb of cheese from the deli get 1lb of ham free» deal on, I was only given 1lb of ham, despite buying 2lbs of cheese – another rip off. When I went to customer service to straighten this out later, I was treated like a hassle (and STILL not given the lb of ham I was shorted.)
I still shop there (my husband likes it for some reason, and I guess the fuel perks aren’t bad,) but I watch my receipts like a hawk – and you should, too!

I really like this Winn Dixie because the employees are really friendly and I think the store itself is laid out very well.
I frequently travel to Lafayette and this grocery store is on the way for me and right off of Interstate 12, so the location is convenient when I need to stop and pick up various ingredients for dinner for my visit to my dad’s house or everything needed to make a Bloody Mary for a visit to my sister’s house. ;)
If you’re in Mandeville and need groceries I recommend this Winn Dixie.

I grew up on Winn-​Dixie. I have come to enjoy their product selection.
This location has a great deli staff and all around friendly employees. Very rarely do I not find a specific item I am looking for.
Very good prices on most of the products offered for purchase. An added bonus is the Fuel Perks program that Winn-​Dixie is currently offering. You get a discount on gas at participating Shell stations based on the dollar amount you spend at Winn-​Dixie. With a family of four, needless to say, we spend a good bit of our income on groceries. This got us a discount of $ 1.25 per gallon at Shell last week. Sweet!
