"Ingles seems to have added a wider variety of different choices in a few categories. I couldn 't shop long but I found frozen, bacon wrapped chicken sticks in different flavors, like Teriyaki and honey barbecue. I bought a couple but haven 't tried them yet. I had complained to a night manager about the lack of wheat free breads and snack items, as my son is highly allergic to wheat, corn and rice flour. I told him that I switched to Publix because they do carry items made from almond flour, potato starch, even egg tortilla shells and they 're all delicious, in addition to pasta made from edamame, lentils and chick peas, for example. Ingles is still very limited on those types of pasta items but they did expand their frozen bread choices made without wheat flour. Very expensive, unfortunately, no matter where you shop. But I was glad to see more variety and different brands of all kinds of things have been added. I still have to shop at Publix mostly, which I really like as well, and only they started carrying my favorite peanut butter again after the pandemic changed everything, Peter Pan CRUNCHY honey roasted, which is our go to snack. Nuts in the bulk section in Ingles, such as pecans, walnuts, almonds and cashews, which I must buy for my parrot, are much less at Ingles by $1 or more per pound than Publix, though, which I especially like. And I have even lost 25 pounds over the summer on my parrot diet of snacking on nuts instead of anything else, so I do buy a lot of nuts each month!"
