- mdesq 9y agoPublix does this at a few stores as well[1]. In my particular local Publix which doesn't have the full kits, they still have the recipes, ingredients, and even someone handing out prepared samples of one or two final products all in one place in the store. The ingredients are just normally packaged, not perfectly portioned out. 1. http://www.publix.com/recipes-planning/aprons-meal-kits http://www.publix.com/recipes-planning/aprons-meal-kits
