                INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT






To the Plan Administrator of the
Publix Super Markets, Inc.
401(k) SMART Plan:



We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets
available for plan benefits, with fund information, of the
Publix Super Markets, Inc. 401(k) SMART Plan (the "Plan") as
of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits, with fund
information, for the year then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1995, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment
purposes as of December 31, 1995 and reportable transactions
for the year then ended are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                      December 31, 1995
                              


(1)  Description of Plan and Summary of Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------------------
     The following description of the Publix Super Markets,
     Inc. 401(k) SMART Plan (the "Plan") provides only
     general information.  Participants should refer to the
     Summary Plan Description for a more complete
     description of the Plan's provisions.
    
     The Plan, which became effective January 1, 1995, is a
     defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of
     the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA"). Employees of Publix Super Markets, Inc. (the
     "Company" or "Publix") who have attained the age of 19
     and have completed one year of service during which
     they worked 1,000 hours or more are eligible to
     participate in the Plan.  The Plan year is a calendar
     year.
    
    (a) Contributions
        -------------
        Employees may contribute up to 6% of their annual
        compensation, not to exceed the maximum limits
        established by Federal law.  The Company may make a
        discretionary annual matching contribution to
        eligible participants of the Plan as determined by
        the Company's Board of Directors.  During 1995, the
        Company's Board of Directors approved a match of
        50% of eligible contributions up to 3% of eligible
        wages not to exceed a maximum of $750 per employee.
        The match, determined as of the last day of the
        Plan year, was in the form of common stock of the
        Company.
    
    (b) Participant Accounts
        --------------------
        Two separate accounts are maintained for each
        participant, a Savings Contribution Account and a
        Matching Contribution Account (the "Accounts").
        Plan earnings are allocated and credited to the
        Accounts as of each valuation date.  Each
        participant's share of earnings is determined by
        the Plan Administrator on a weighted average basis,
        so that each participant shall receive a pro-rata
        share.  Forfeitures of non-vested Company
        contributions by terminated or former participants
        may be used to reduce future Company matching
        contributions.
    
    (c) Vesting
        -------
        Participants are immediately vested in their
        contributions and earnings thereon.  Company
        matching contributions and earnings thereon are
        100% vested upon completing five years of service,
        reaching age 60, disability or death.  Matching
        contributions cannot be withdrawn or distributed
        until vested.

     (d) Loans to Participants
         ---------------------
         All actively employed Plan participants with
         available account balances may apply for a loan
         from their own Plan accounts.  The minimum amount a
         participant may borrow is $1,000.  The maximum
         amount that a participant may borrow is the lesser
         of: 1) 50% of the balances in the participant's
         Savings Contribution Account and vested Matching
         Contribution Account; or 2) $50,000 less a
         participant's highest outstanding loan balance
         during the previous twelve month period.  However,
         the actual loan amount cannot exceed the balance in
         the participant's Savings Contribution Account.
         Participants may request one loan each year and may
         only have one outstanding loan at a time.  All
         legal and administrative costs incurred as a result
         of a loan are paid by the participant. The interest
         rate is determined by the Trustee as of the first
         day of each calendar quarter and represents the
         prime lending rate charged by the Trustee.  The
         interest rate on a loan will be fixed for the term
         of the loan.
    
         A participant can choose repayment terms on a new
         loan up to five years.  Repayment of principal and
         interest are made through after tax payroll
         deductions each pay period.  Repayment of principal
         and interest are credited to the participant's
         Savings Contribution Account and reinvested
         according to the participant's current investment
         options. Upon termination of employment all unpaid
         principal and accrued interest on any loan
         outstanding is immediately due and payable.
         Participants may repay a loan in total at any time
         after the loan has been in effect for at least one
         year.
    
     (e) Termination of Plan
         -------------------
         The Company expects to continue the Plan
         indefinitely, but is not contractually obligated to
         do so.  The Company reserves the right to amend or
         discontinue the Plan at any time.  If the Plan is
         ever terminated, participants will be fully vested
         in all amounts credited to their accounts.
    
     (f) Distribution of Benefits
         ------------------------
         Upon termination of employment, participants may
         elect to receive payment in full of the vested
         portion of their Savings Contribution Account and
         Matching Contribution Account balances as of the
         valuation date immediately preceding or concurring
         with the date of termination.  If the value of the
         terminating participant's account exceeds $3,500,
         the participant may elect to defer distribution.
         Payment of deferred distributions must be made no
         later than 60 days after the end of the Plan year
         during which a participant dies or attains age 62.
         Payment for actively employed participants must
         begin on or before April 1st of the calendar year
         following the year the participant attains age 70 1/2.

                Notes to Financial Statements
    
    
    
    
    
     (g) Basis of Accounting
         -------------------
         The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the
         accrual basis.
    
     (h) Investments
         -----------
         The market value of Publix Super Markets, Inc.
         common stock is determined by the Company's Board
         of Directors based upon appraisals prepared by
         independent appraisers.
    
         The market value of other investments is determined
         based upon quoted market prices.
 
     (i) Use of Estimates
         ----------------
         The preparation of financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting
         principles and ERISA requires management to make
         estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of net assets available for plan benefits
         and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
         as of the date of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of changes in net assets available
         for plan benefits during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.
    
    
(2)  Investments
     -----------
     The Plan currently offers the following investment options:
    
     (a)  Aggressive Growth Fund
          ----------------------
        This fund may consist of a portfolio invested
        primarily in common stocks and other securities or
        investment opportunities providing long-term
        capital appreciation.  The fund can be expected to
        experience wider variation in its value than the
        other funds described herein.
      
        The Plan Administrator has selected the "Fidelity
        ContraFund," a mutual fund, as the investment
        vehicle for the Aggressive Growth Fund.  This fund
        invests in the securities of companies that are
        believed to be undervalued or out of favor.
      
     (b)  Publix Stock Fund
          -----------------
        This fund includes two components: cash and Publix
        common stock.  Cash awaiting investment in Publix
        stock is invested in a short-term fixed income
        funding vehicle.  The cash component of this fund
        includes employee contributions and loan
        repayments, transfers from other investments to
        purchase Publix stock, dividends earned on Publix
        stock and income earned on all of these deposits.
        The cash component of this fund will be used to
        purchase Publix stock on specified purchase dates.
        The fund provides an opportunity for long-term
        capital appreciation.  Because this fund is not
        diversified, it may experience wider variations in
        value than other funds described herein.
      
      
      
                                 -3-                         (continued)

                Notes to Financial Statements
                              
                              
                              
      
     (c)  Equity Index Fund
          -----------------
        This fund may consist of a portfolio invested
        primarily in common stocks which, in the aggregate,
        are intended to mirror the performance of the
        Standard & Poor's Corporate Stock Price Index (S&P
        500 Index), and/or a portfolio of comparable
        investments.  The fund is intended to provide for
        long-term growth of capital, and secondarily for
        long-term growth of income (or to provide a similar
        investment return).  The fund can be expected to
        experience wider variations in its value than the
        other funds described herein.
      
        The Plan Administrator has selected the "MetLife
        Stock Market Index Guarantee Account" as the
        investment vehicle for the Equity Index Fund.  It
        consists of most of the stocks of the S&P 500
        Index.
      
     (d)  Asset Allocation Fund
          ---------------------
        This fund is a growth and income fund which uses an
        asset allocation approach.  The fund may consist of
        common and preferred stocks, governmental and
        corporate bonds, and other securities or investment
        opportunities designed to provide for both current
        income and capital appreciation.  The fund can be
        expected to experience wider variations in its
        value than the Fixed Income Fund.
      
        The Plan Administrator has selected the "State
        Street Research Strategic Portfolios: Moderate"
        mutual fund as the investment vehicle for the Asset
        Allocation Fund.  This fund is actively managed and
        represents a diversified mix of stocks and bonds.
        Stocks are generally expected to represent between
        45% and 65% of fund assets; bonds are generally
        expected to represent between 35% and 55% of fund
        assets.  The fund may vary investments within these
        ranges based upon the portfolio manager's view of
        economic and market conditions.  The stock portion
        of the fund generally will consist of common stocks
        and securities convertible into common stocks with
        long-term growth potential.  The bond portion of
        the fund generally will consist of a broad range of
        corporate and governmental securities and may
        include mortgage-related securities.

     (e)  Fixed Income Fund
          -----------------
        This fund may consist of a portfolio invested in
        commercial paper, U.S. Government or federal agency
        obligations, short-term corporate obligations, bank
        certificates of deposit, savings accounts and/or
        comparable investments designed to provide maximum
        protection of capital with a conservative rate of
        return.
      
        The Plan Administrator has selected the "MetLife
        Guaranteed Fixed Income Account" as the investment
        vehicle for the Fixed Income Fund.  It consists of
        one or more MetLife guaranteed interest-type
        contracts, which are intended to provide the
        advantage of intermediate-term rates with
        protection from potential market fluctuations.
      
                                 -4-                         (continued)

(3)  Administration of the Plan
     --------------------------
     The Primary Trustee for the Plan, Chase Manhattan Bank,
     N.A., is generally responsible for maintaining custody
     of the investment funds and other assets in which the
     participants contributions are invested, excluding
     Publix stock.  The Publix Stock Fund Trustee, Tina P.
     Johnson, is responsible for maintaining the Publix
     Stock Fund for participants.  Metropolitan Life
     Insurance Company serves as the third-party Plan
     Administrator.  The Plan administration costs are paid
     by Publix.
    
    
(4)  Federal Income Tax
     ------------------
     The Plan has been determined to be a qualified plan as
     described in Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal
     Revenue Code, as amended.  As such, the Plan is exempt
     from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the
     Internal Revenue Code.  The Company received a
     favorable determination letter from the Internal
     Revenue Service confirming such status.
