Trying Publix

I never really shopped at Publix before using coupons.  I always thought it was too high!  But once I learned to coupon, I began to LOVE Publix!  I get free stuff there ALL the time!  Yes, Free!  My most recent trip, I bought 2 Right Guard Body Washes and 2 Right Guard Deodorant.  Publix has a Green Advantage Flyer out with a Buy 1 Deodorant and get 1 Body Wash Free.  I also had a couple of coupons from a Sunday paper for B1G1 Right Guard.  So all 4 items were free!  This week (Apr 6-12) with coupons, you can get Crest Toothpaste and Oral B toothbrushes for free.  There are many other items free or very cheap!

Coupon Policy at Publix:  There is a Corporate policy for Publix, but the store managers will sometime tweak the policy so be sure to ask Customer Service if you have questions. 
  • Publix will take Manufactor coupons, Publix store coupons, and competitor GROCERY store coupons (Target, Winn Dixie, etc) as long as you don't have to use a customer reward card along with the coupon.  
  • You can also stack coupons, use a Manufacture and Publix or Competitor Coupon.  This is a great way to maximize your savings.
  • Publix will double manufacture coupons up to $.50.  They do NOT double competitor or store coupons.
  • You can use one Manufacture coupon per item.  If it's on sale B1G1 and you get two, then you can use 2 coupons.  You can stack coupons with the sale items too!  
  • With B1G1 at Publix, you don't have to buy 2.  They mark their items half price.  So if it's a box of cereal B1G1 for $3.99, you can get 1 for $1.99.
  • Pay attention to shelf prices and the price the item rings up for at the register.  Publix has a Price Right Guarantee.  If the item don't ring up the right price, you will get one of that item for free and get the lower price for the rest!
  • Don't be afraid to use the Rain Check Policy.  If an item is out of stock, see the Customer Service desk and they will write you a Rain Check which is good for 30 days from the date written.  You can use your coupons with the rain check!
  • Check the Sales AD rack at Publix on your trips for new coupon booklets and sign up for their programs:  Pet Program, Greenwise, Family Style, Baby Club, Preschool Pals, and Upromise.
