EXHIBIT 23(b)








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

We consent to the use of our report incorporated by reference
herein.

Our  report dated September 16, 1994, except with respect to Note
1,  which  is  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."
