The Board of Directors
Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc.:

We consent to the use of our report included herein and to the
reference to our firm under the heading "Experts" in the
prospectus.

Our report dated September 16, 1994, except with respect to Notes
1 and 5, which are as of November 9, 1994, contains an explanatory
paragraph that states that "the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. As
discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Kash n' Karry Food
Stores, Inc. filed a pre-packaged petition under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code on November 9, 1994 and these matters
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty."
