I found a coupon for save 1.50 on 2 Bertolli pausta sauces, exp 3/31/13. Not sure which coupon book it’s from so I’m not much help But it’s from either this past Sunday paper or the one before it.
(oh, and for the kraft coupon, it says redeemable at walmart. does that mean you can only redeem it there or can you redeem it anywhere? Does it have to be a competitor? it’s a man. coupon)
if it says “redeemable at xxxxxxxx” and it is a manuf. coupon you can use anywhere but if it says “redeemable ONLY at xxxxxxx” then it can only be used at the store indicated. so it sounds like you can use that anyhwere.
That’s how it’s supposed to be-
That the “Redeemable at” is just a suggestion, where “redeemable ONLY at” is a “rule” …
However- One of my nearby stores absolutely will not accept these coupons unless the store is a competitor. I’ve argued my heart out with them, but they won’t budge, Lol! All the other nearby stores will accept them though.
FYI-If you live in the birmingham area (AL) Publix is no longer excepting Target brand coupons for Publix brand items.Example-up & up detergent coupon for Publix detergent and Pantry dairy products coupon for Publix dairy brand. They are also only excepting ONE Target coupon per customer as stated on the coupon. I live in the Alabaster/Calera area and both stores refused the Target Brand coupon and would only allow me to use ONE Digornia’s Pizza coupon.
Yep our new coupon policy starts April first!! In Jacksonville ,Fl!! BUT I did not know about Store Q for Store brand!! I know the coupon Policy now states you can use a Store brand Q!! They are also going to put a 10 item limit on same items!! which really does not affect me much sine I don’t buy 10 of same item much anymore!!
love to know about all u know about jax area—had no idea there was going tp be a new policy april 1st thx for all feedback from anyone who has any infp !!! saving4girls@gmail.com
I’m in Jacksonville. Effective last Friday (1st Day of Gas Card sale) my store’s policy changed so that you cannot use a competitor $5/30 coupon toward the $50 purchase (to reach gas card coupon). I don’t understand it because store manager said it is the gas company that absorbs the costs. Why would they eliminate a store coupon from your total if that’s true? He didn’t have an answer for that…”just that’s the way they set it up”. He also said this policy change will not be store to store but corporate.
At my store in Pasco County, it has always been 5 deals for BOGO (or 10 items). On the 10 for $10 items, I’ve always been told it doesn’t matter how many you buy (3, 4, 12).
Jar, I used a $5/$30 competitor coupon and a Publix $5/$40 when doing my gas card deal on Friday. Glad that policy had not made it to my store.
And in Ft Lauderdale and stores south. And not just on sale items. They all say it’s to stop shelf clearers but I suspect if someone without coupons buys several bottle of soda or cans of cat food, etc, they wouldn’t have a problem.
Definitely feeling targeted as a couponer. I suggested they at least put up a sign so you are not blindsided at the register (which is what happened to me when I tried to buy 6 bottles of vitamins – and only after I gave them the coupons…the cashier has already rung them up without a problem).
Why they don’t want to sell me their products is a mystery to me…LOL
Any Publix I have been to (only AL ones) has always had the limit of ten…they don’t always enforce it but I see it on the signs. Also, to my knowledge, the same thing follows for the limit of one comp q per transaction and accepting store brand q’s. I wonder why there isn’t more consistency between stores? Maybe they allow the managers too much discretion? Idk, but it’s confusing sometimes.
I spoke to my assistant store manager and he also said that the coupon policy was changing April 1st. They are in the process of training all cashiers/CS staff. They are already trying to enforce some new policies at my store, but management is pushing them through if you complain, which I think is fair because until we’re told the new policy, they shouldn’t expect us to follow it (especially when it contradicts what’s on the corporate web site!)
Hi Lisa!
Leslie (store mgr) had already told me that the new coupon policies were ‘coming soon’. It has not come in to effect at Oak Hill Village, Oakleaf or Argyle, but Normandy, has already put the changes in to effect.
I usually spend around $20 to $50 per trip, but on the weekend, I purchased about $175.00 in one transaction. I was expecting to use a WD $5 off $30, a $5 off $25 Dollar General coupon (YES, Normandy accepts Dollar General Qs, strangely enough) and a $5 off $25 Save-a-Lot coupon (in combination). Normandy would not allow me to use more than one competitor ($5 off) coupon. So basically, my total was much more than I was planning on.
I went over to Oak Hill Village on Monday to pick up 2 items (that were not on sale, nor did I have a coupon), and spoke with 2 different Managers and I specifically asked about the $5 off coupon PER transaction. Both Br__n and Rus_el stated that they WOULD accept more than one $5 off in one transaction.
I have never been a shelf-clearer, yet there are several people that do it at this store and it frustrates me to no end!! For example: Sunlight Dish Detergent, as I was never able to get even one bottle due to people being greedy with a great/nice offer from Publix.
I do know the warehouse was out, so they only stocked a case at a time (hoping to spread the good deal for more than just one person to resell)—-and the shelf was instantly cleared.
My only suggestion would be to end the $10/10 deals and put a limit of 5 ‘like’ items per day. (I know that this would be hard to enforce)
There will always be certain people that will work around the rules and that is unfortunate for the regular-average shopper.
I like Palmolive dish detergent the best, but I WOULD (sale is over) have liked to have gotten a chance to buy at least one bottle (I would have appreciated ONE bottle of Sunlight for free ($1 Qs will go out of date before that deal will ever come around again…)
Possibly having more managers walking the store / interacting with customers and seeing what is actually going on – might help???
YOU KNOW IF SHELFCLEARERS WIPEOUT A PRODUCT ON SALE YOU CAN GET A RAINCHECK…AND EVEN IF THE COUPON IF EXPIRED THE RAINCHECK ALLOWS THE USE OF IT. BUT SERIOUSLY PEOPLE PLEASE STOP CLEARING THE SHELVES. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY PERSON ON EARTH THAT NEEDS GOOD DEALS. WE ALL NEED TO SPREAD THE WEALTH OR STORES LIKE PUBLIX ARE GOING TO GET SO MAD AND CRACK DOWN ON POLICY THAT WILL HURT US ALL.
im with you, I have 5 kids, id love to catch a free deal, or a money maker or anything that’s that good, but I can’t beacause I can not get to the store Thursday at 7am to grab it before a shelf clearer comes through. I understand fully , we don’t know everyone’s situation, however, being greedy or not allowing those who really need that deal get it, STINKS. And look what happened, NOW publix has cracked the whip, which also stinks. Publix is an amazing store with amazing customer service, and great BOGO’s, and we can still find great deals.
Ginger there are multiple districts within the Birmingham Publix shopping area. And they still have different rules at each store. Which store district do you shop at? Hueytown, Bessemer/Tannehill, Helena, Tusc area or Hoover Pelham Caldwell mill or Clay Pinson Chelsea, Lee Branch district? I normally shop HTown and Greensprings/Hoover. The South West district/Htown Bessemer Tannehill district manager is a lot stricter than the other districts. IE,,,,1 order and 1 $/$ competitor coupon per day.
Print out the coupon policy and keep it in your binder. It states it clearly on their corporate website that if Target is a store they use as a competitor, you can use their store brand coupons on the Publix brand products.
PRIVATE LABEL COUPONS
Q: Will Publix accept a competitor’s coupon for a private label item?
A: Yes. We’re happy to accept a coupon for a competitor’s private label product because it’s a chance to introduce you to our terrific Publix brand.
Thanks for posting! I checked today and the Smart Balance milk at my store is on a store special BOGO also… priced at 3.98 and using a $1.50 coupon is a half gallon for .48!
In my yesterday SS, there is a $2/1 on Hawaiian Tropic Sun Care Product 4 oz or larger. Exp 4/20/13. Makes it $1.99 on each bottle of sunscreen! (and I thought I was getting a good deal on the clearance 2 oz bottles at Walgreens for $.99 )
Rite Aid is having a BOGO sale on Banana Boat sunscreen with $5 +UP on each (limit 4). Prices start at 7.99, so if you keep up with Rite Aid +ups, it is cheap/free/moneymaker! Supposedly there is a coupon in the 3/10 SS for $3/2… which is an even sweeter deal, but I didn’t get a paper.
So for the $5 off of $25….Do both items for BOGO count towards that $25? Ex: Green Giant Canned Vegetables are BOGO $4.99. Would that be $9.98 or $4.99 towards your total?
don’t take my word for it, but I imagine just the $4.99, as it will be rung up at the register as 2.50 and 2.50 (or 2.49, 2.49 however it does it) or 4.99 and 0.00.
they way ours rings up in true BOGO is Yogurt $3
Yogurt $3
Promotion -$3
So, in the past I have just circled my two yogurts and the $ amounts and I believe it worked out just fine.
In my area they want to see the total dollars before coupons but after BOGOs. This is true for gas card deals as well as for $ off minimum purchase sizes.
I seems to be having trouble finding the -$1/1 Glad Trash or Glad Food Storage Product, 34 ct+ trash bags coupon. Is this one where I need to sign up to receive?
I have heard a lot of rumors about Publix changing their Coupon Policy, so I asked them……. Dear Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your question and allowing us the opportunity to serve you. We always enjoy hearing from our customers, and we appreciate the trust you have placed in us as your grocer of choice.
We have no plans for a new coupon policy at this time.
Keep tabs on your local store – we’re south of Atlanta and our very coupon friendly store now is planning on stopping all Target coupons as of April 1st.
I’m not sure what to say because while on Spring break I visted two stores in st simons Island Georgia and they both told me going forward their policy will be changed.The cashier gave me a little green flyer with the digital coupon policy etc… maybe It’s the digital coupon that they are considering new policy or change policy maybe!!! best bet lets wait and see.. I found it odd that so many people were told that including me, but corporate still standing by the no change in policy..I which I could upload the flyer they gave me..
This is contrary to what I was told by the Publix store manager at my store. She said that you now have to buy a total grocery purchase that is the sum of the requirements on both coupons to use both — $80 ($50 grocery purchase required for gas card + $30 grocery purchase required for Winn Dixie coupon). Apparently it is a new policy that went into effect this past week. She was very emphatic and said that the gas card deal + WD coupon was a specific example used in the hours-long training session with everyone.
However, the website still says: “We will accept a manufacturer’s coupon and either a Publix or a competitor coupon on the same item. Dollars-off-total-order coupons will be limited to one Publix and one competitor coupon per order. The order total must be equal to or greater than the total purchase requirements indicated on the coupon(s) presented.” The gas card is *not* a “[d]ollars-off-total order coupon[].”
I agree. The gas card coupon is $10 off the gas card, not off total order or off groceries. Lots of people said their stores were doing this to them. I was lucky that my store didn’t. However, they won’t let me combine transactions anymore when I use multiple $ of $$ Winn Dixie or Save A Lot coupons. They said other changes were coming on April 1st. I wish all the Publix stores would get on the same page!
Yes, the $10/50 Publix coupon was for the gas card itself, but you must spend the $50 in groceries in order to use that coupon. On top of that, when you use a $5/30 Winn Dixie coupon, you must spend another $30 in order to use this coupon. I e-mailed corporate about this a few months ago, and they said that you must spend the full $80 in order to use both coupons. This does follow the policy they have listed on the corporate website online as well. It does not matter what the coupon is for, what matters is that you must spend the amount listed on the coupon in order to use one or both coupons.
I see what you’re saying, but I disagree that it is that crystal clear. I think the onus is on Publix to specifically make that clear in the policy, especially if they are changing their usual practice and procedure. And the store manager phrased it to me as a “new coupon policy” that was being implemented and going into effect, not tightening up on restrictions on the old coupon policy.
There are some other coupons in the Spring Booklet that I think would work with this ad. There is a 1.00/2 on Kleenex Tissues, and now that I’m looking more closely, I don’t think the Comet Soft Cleasner is a match for the Soft Scrub:( Does anybody know?
Don’t forget about the $1 fresh pork coupon that was available online not long ago. Mine has an expiration of 4/1/13. I got a great deal on some ground pork recently that was on special.
FYI! I went to Publix on Saturday (3/09/13) so that I could get ‘gas cards’. I usually shop on Wednesday. The store manager told us that BP was pulling out of the program and they were no longer offering BP gas cards with the coupon $10.00 off $50.00.
BP was discontinued at my store too, and replaced with Racetrac. I did an online search on the Racetrac website and there are no stations within a 50 mile radius of my town. So why they would sell the cards at my store is a mystery to me.
In my area, they offered QT, Racetrac and Shell. Since the BP’s were gone, I picked up two Shell cards and then wished I hadn’t! I should have gotten QT or Racetrac because there is only ONE Shell in a 50 mile radius, in the most inconvenient place…
Does anyone know the regular price for Mrs. Paul’s fish at Publix? I saw them at Shoprite for 4.24 and at Kmart for 4.78 which minus the %50 off would be around 2.25 for the average. Minus the $1/1 and you have seafood for $1.25! Cheaper if they are less than the average of $4.51!!
Publix Deli Tea in the gallon size was BOGO the week of 1/10-1/16, and the half gallon size was BOGO the week of 1/31-2/6, so it hasn’t been that long. I’m sure it will go BOGO again soon…always does.
anyone know how much the regular Publix blend of salad is (generally, I know it may vary. I’m in Jacksonville, FL)? I know they often have sales for 2/$4 but I don’t know how much it is otherwise!
The glad coupon makes you sign up, and thn when you click the button to retrieve the coupon, it says that the offer has ended. Anyone else have luck with that?
Also, the pampers coupon link leads to a blank screen…..
And what is with the first link for the Gogurt coupon? It’s some kind of digital couponing site in Spanish.
This is a good ad for me, but none of the coupons are printing.
I have a $2/1 Vidal Sassoon color, care or styling product peelie that Ir received on products I initially bought at Publix… which will make the shampoo only $0.50. Buy 10 with 10 peelies (if you can find them!) for a total of $5… and you are eligible for the Running Out? Running In! rebate for a $5 giftcard, making them all free! I thought it was interesting that only the shampoo is included in the promotion, so be careful!
Thanks so much for always posting the ad on Monday! Love getting a head start on my list and coupons!
Wanted to let you know that the Raisin Bran Ibotta coupon will not work with the $1.99 Raisin Bran deal. Publix has the 12 to 13.7 oz boxes on sale but the coupon requires a 15 oz. or larger box. Bummer, right?! Made that mistake last week and wanted to be sure others didn’t do the same.
NEW COUPON POLICY @ PUBLIX. Publix (at least in North Florida) has now changed its coupon policy with respect to gas card deals and the Winn Dixie coupons (well, it’s a larger change overall, but I ran into it in that specific situation over the weekend). You now have to buy a total grocery purchase that is the sum of the requirements on both coupons to use both — $80 ($50 grocery purchase required for gas card + $30 grocery purchase required for Winn Dixie coupon). Apparently it is a new district-wide policy that went into effect this past week. The store manager was very emphatic and said that the gas card deal + WD coupon was a specific example used in the hours-long training session with everyone.
Tallahassee. But the store manager said the district manager has been visiting all the stores in the district to train on the new policy, which likely includes Pensacola. You could just check with customer service at your store next time you go.
I am in N. Lauderdale South Florida and the Publix which I shopped for is on McNab road. Since July 2012 they haven’t been allowing to use coupon for gas card and Winndixie $5.00 of $30.00 of at the same transaction until you will have the total of $80.00. They also don’t allow to use multiple off ( Winndixie or Doris) coupons at the same transaction. So to follow their rules I have to shop there sometimes 2-3 times a week.
Mine doesn’t allow multiples in the same transaction either, so I just separate out my transactions ahead of time and pay separately, rather than coming back to the store. Have you tried that? Because it’s per transaction, not per visit.
IN A WAY I CAN UNDERSTAND…IT IS LIKE USEING $1 OFF 2 ITEMS…IT ATTACHES TO BOTH ITEMS…THE WINN DIXIE COUPON ATTACHES TO THE $20 GROCERIES AND THE GAS CARD COUPON ATTACHES TO THE $50 GROCERIES.AND AS WE ALL KNOW YOU CANT USE 2 STORE COUPONS ON THE SAME ITEMS.
There’s a Totinos rebate for qualifying items (marked on packages) that someone shared on another blog I follow. The blog didn’t share it but a follower. You get $5 rebate for entering (4) codes from marked packages of Totinos Party Pizza. Anyways, it can be found here if you are interested: http://www.useyourcash.com/totinosgrocerycash/
Oh, and I almost forgot…there is a great cereal q for $2/2 boxes of various cereals (Rice krispies, Fruit Loops and more) on the AARP coupon webpage. There’s also a $1.25/1 Smartfood (new product) q available on there as well.I printed and now am just waiting on the right deal to use them on
Here in South Florida, in the 2/24/2013 Smartsource, there was a MQ (Redeem at Publix) for $1/2 Kleenex 50 Ct or higher, so with this coupon if you have it, you can score Kleenex for 25 Cents a box.
It Expires 03/24/2013
Just a quick question for customer’s shopping at Birmingham, AL area Publix- Several times I hav seen Publix gallon milk in this ad for $2.99, but it is never that price in the store. Has anyone found the Publix milk (gallon) for $2.99; if so shich store?

Just a quick question for customers shopping the Birmingham, AL area stores. On several ads I have seen Publix brand gallon mile listed for $2.99; but it is never that price in the store or in the printed ad. Has anyone found Publix beand (gallon) for that price? If so which store?
I just skimmed the comments, so I apologize if this is a repeat.
Do you think the Boar’s Head Corned Beef lunchmeat that will be on sale would qualify for the Corned Beef Rebate? I don’t see why not, but want to see if someone else out there has a different opinion.
I buy 10 or more in one item because they allowed me to do it plus I only want to go shopping once a week. I have family of six and I never resale the stuff that I get for free at publix. That’s just wrong. I only shop at one publix. I have 3 that close to me but I don’t go store to store to get all the freebies like others do. I don’t go to cvs, walmart or other stores. I am only loyal to my publix. Sometimes I gave away stuff to my neighbor and to church but never cross my mine re selling stuff that I got from publix.
Are we sure that the coupon “$0.50/1 Bertolli Sauces, any (Maximum of 2 identical coupons allowed in same shopping trip) – 03-03-13 RP Insert (exp 3/31/2013)” actually exists?
All of the listings for Bertolli Sauce coupons shown on ebay, under both the active and completed categories, are for either $0.60/1 or $1.50/2.
I need some help figuring out a deal at publix. I am going to use the publix coupon for $2 off when you buy oj and 2 sausage coupon and the mq for the same deal also the $1 off 1 dz eggs when you buy one sausage and the $1 off 1 dz eggs when you purchase tortilla’s I also have the $.55 off 2 dz eggs mq coupon.
So is that 2 sausages or 3 sausages I need to buy ( as a beginner I am not sure)?
Also on the eggs is that 1 dz or 2 dz (as both coupons would be $2 off the eggs) and can I use the $.55 cent of 2 dz with the eggs if it is 2 dz or if I purchase an extra one?
This is the first time I am trying a deal like this and not sure how to do it. Thanks in advance.
Is the amount necessary for “Running Out? Run In” $25 before or after BOGO sales price? The rebate form specifies before coupons, but not sales prices.
This was posted here last week(or the week before) and again this week, and both times I did not see sale on my Publix, is this regional? Can anyone confirm please?
There is a $1.00/1 Fresh Express Blend or Kit Salad coupon on http://www.hannaford.com that says (Available at Hannaford Stores), but is a Manufacturer Coupon.
WOW early!!! thanks
Thank you Michelle! Love Mondays!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Thanks Michelle! You are Awesome!!
awsome!!! thanks….
Looking forward to a good salmon dinner; not much else I see for me. More $ saved. Thanks Michelle!
Thanks so much!!
There is a $1/1 Oral B Indicator MQ in the 3/3 P&G.
Thank you Michelle for the early ad!
I love Monday mornings! Thank you so much!
Thanks Michelle, I be waiting on this.
thanks!
The Running Out-Run sheet has a 55¢/1 Publix store coupon for the Crest, 4 oz+, x 3/24.
I found a coupon for save 1.50 on 2 Bertolli pausta sauces, exp 3/31/13. Not sure which coupon book it’s from so I’m not much help
But it’s from either this past Sunday paper or the one before it.
This weeks paper.
There was a $1/1 Newtons Cookies in the latest issue of All You!
Thanks Laura! I probably would not have thought to look there before heading to the store.
also, save $1/2 Kraft natural shredded cheese (16 oz) manufacturer’s coupon from coupons.com, exp 3/24/2013
The cheese on sale is the 7-8 oz so this coupon is not a match unfortunately!
oops! thanks!
(oh, and for the kraft coupon, it says redeemable at walmart. does that mean you can only redeem it there or can you redeem it anywhere? Does it have to be a competitor? it’s a man. coupon)
if it says “redeemable at xxxxxxxx” and it is a manuf. coupon you can use anywhere but if it says “redeemable ONLY at xxxxxxx” then it can only be used at the store indicated. so it sounds like you can use that anyhwere.
Publix should take Q anyway b/c they consider Walmart a Competitor!!
Depends on your store, my Publix doesn’t.
That’s how it’s supposed to be-
That the “Redeemable at” is just a suggestion, where “redeemable ONLY at” is a “rule” …

A few of my Broward County stores have a FIVE item limit now for sale items…. (How dumb is THAT?) … I’m in North Lauderdale …
They enforce it.
I wonder what they are going to say to me when I buy 10 Totinos pizzas… How can they limit me to 5 when the ad itself states 10 for $10????
I’m in Jacksonville. Effective last Friday (1st Day of Gas Card sale) my store’s policy changed so that you cannot use a competitor $5/30 coupon toward the $50 purchase (to reach gas card coupon).

Hi Ash,
I am in the North Lauderdale area. Which Publix store are you going to?
Any Publix I have been to (only AL ones) has always had the limit of ten…they don’t always enforce it but I see it on the signs. Also, to my knowledge, the same thing follows for the limit of one comp q per transaction and accepting store brand q’s. I wonder why there isn’t more consistency between stores? Maybe they allow the managers too much discretion? Idk, but it’s confusing sometimes.

Ginger there are multiple districts within the Birmingham Publix shopping area. And they still have different rules at each store. Which store district do you shop at?

The South West district/Htown Bessemer Tannehill district manager is a lot stricter than the other districts. IE,,,,1 order and 1 $/$ competitor coupon per day.
Print out the coupon policy and keep it in your binder. It states it clearly on their corporate website that if Target is a store they use as a competitor, you can use their store brand coupons on the Publix brand products.
PRIVATE LABEL COUPONS
Q: Will Publix accept a competitor’s coupon for a private label item?
A: Yes. We’re happy to accept a coupon for a competitor’s private label product because it’s a chance to introduce you to our terrific Publix brand.
Thank you Michelle for all your hard work.
Could anyone tell me what state I can find the .50/1 Bertolli pasta sauce coupon.Thanks
Thanks Michelle.
I hope we will have smart balance milk next week or as unadvertised this week, hate to waste those qs.
agreed!!
Waiting for that too! Hopefully . . .
the milk is bogo this week at my publix in sc
Thanks for posting! I checked today and the Smart Balance milk at my store is on a store special BOGO also… priced at 3.98 and using a $1.50 coupon is a half gallon for .48!
I love getting my shopping list done so early. Thanks, Michelle.
In my yesterday SS, there is a $2/1 on Hawaiian Tropic Sun Care Product 4 oz or larger. Exp 4/20/13. Makes it $1.99 on each bottle of sunscreen! (and I thought I was getting a good deal on the clearance 2 oz bottles at Walgreens for $.99
)
TYVM for this info! The Hawaiian Tropic is on my list & now I’ll save an extra $1/bottle!
Rite Aid is having a BOGO sale on Banana Boat sunscreen with $5 +UP on each (limit 4). Prices start at 7.99, so if you keep up with Rite Aid +ups, it is cheap/free/moneymaker! Supposedly there is a coupon in the 3/10 SS for $3/2… which is an even sweeter deal, but I didn’t get a paper.
So for the $5 off of $25….Do both items for BOGO count towards that $25? Ex: Green Giant Canned Vegetables are BOGO $4.99. Would that be $9.98 or $4.99 towards your total?
don’t take my word for it, but I imagine just the $4.99, as it will be rung up at the register as 2.50 and 2.50 (or 2.49, 2.49 however it does it) or 4.99 and 0.00.
they way ours rings up in true BOGO is Yogurt $3
Yogurt $3
Promotion -$3
So, in the past I have just circled my two yogurts and the $ amounts and I believe it worked out just fine.
In my area they want to see the total dollars before coupons but after BOGOs. This is true for gas card deals as well as for $ off minimum purchase sizes.
I seems to be having trouble finding the -$1/1 Glad Trash or Glad Food Storage Product, 34 ct+ trash bags coupon. Is this one where I need to sign up to receive?
I’m not sure which paper it came out in a while ago, but there is $1/2 Mrs Paul’s product mq exp 3/31/13
It’s in the SS 01/20/13…
Ginger, its on their company coupon policy that they take private label coupons. I would call corp. and talk to someone about it.
I have heard a lot of rumors about Publix changing their Coupon Policy, so I asked them……. Dear Customer,
Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your question and allowing us the opportunity to serve you. We always enjoy hearing from our customers, and we appreciate the trust you have placed in us as your grocer of choice.
We have no plans for a new coupon policy at this time.
You can view our entire coupon policy at http://www.publix.com/pages/Page44.do.
Keep tabs on your local store – we’re south of Atlanta and our very coupon friendly store now is planning on stopping all Target coupons as of April 1st.
Which store(s), if I may ask? I’m also just south of ATL and two Publix stores near me take Target coupons. So sad if they stop!
Lake Dow Publix (Mcdonough)
OMG Lake Dow is my favorite store. I cannot believe they are going to stop them. Very sad to hear about this!!!
Thanks for the heads up on the Lake Dow store. I hope the one on Hwy 20 doesn’t stop taking them. That’s the one I shop at most.
I’m not sure what to say because while on Spring break I visted two stores in st simons Island Georgia and they both told me going forward their policy will be changed.The cashier gave me a little green flyer with the digital coupon policy etc… maybe It’s the digital coupon that they are considering new policy or change policy maybe!!! best bet lets wait and see.. I found it odd that so many people were told that including me, but corporate still standing by the no change in policy..I which I could upload the flyer they gave me..
Hey Crystal
I emailed you but would love to see the flyer…can you send it to me?!
Thanks!!
just go to the publix website and go to the coupons tab. you will see the option for digital coupons that start the 15th. you can sign up now.
This is contrary to what I was told by the Publix store manager at my store. She said that you now have to buy a total grocery purchase that is the sum of the requirements on both coupons to use both — $80 ($50 grocery purchase required for gas card + $30 grocery purchase required for Winn Dixie coupon). Apparently it is a new policy that went into effect this past week. She was very emphatic and said that the gas card deal + WD coupon was a specific example used in the hours-long training session with everyone.
However, the website still says: “We will accept a manufacturer’s coupon and either a Publix or a competitor coupon on the same item. Dollars-off-total-order coupons will be limited to one Publix and one competitor coupon per order. The order total must be equal to or greater than the total purchase requirements indicated on the coupon(s) presented.” The gas card is *not* a “[d]ollars-off-total order coupon[].”
I agree. The gas card coupon is $10 off the gas card, not off total order or off groceries. Lots of people said their stores were doing this to them. I was lucky that my store didn’t. However, they won’t let me combine transactions anymore when I use multiple $ of $$ Winn Dixie or Save A Lot coupons. They said other changes were coming on April 1st. I wish all the Publix stores would get on the same page!
Yes, the $10/50 Publix coupon was for the gas card itself, but you must spend the $50 in groceries in order to use that coupon. On top of that, when you use a $5/30 Winn Dixie coupon, you must spend another $30 in order to use this coupon. I e-mailed corporate about this a few months ago, and they said that you must spend the full $80 in order to use both coupons. This does follow the policy they have listed on the corporate website online as well. It does not matter what the coupon is for, what matters is that you must spend the amount listed on the coupon in order to use one or both coupons.
I see what you’re saying, but I disagree that it is that crystal clear. I think the onus is on Publix to specifically make that clear in the policy, especially if they are changing their usual practice and procedure. And the store manager phrased it to me as a “new coupon policy” that was being implemented and going into effect, not tightening up on restrictions on the old coupon policy.
There are some other coupons in the Spring Booklet that I think would work with this ad. There is a 1.00/2 on Kleenex Tissues, and now that I’m looking more closely, I don’t think the Comet Soft Cleasner is a match for the Soft Scrub:( Does anybody know?
I wouldn’t think so, they’re made by two different companies.
There’s a $1/2 kleenex publix coupon (I believe to be in the spring booklet)
Got a $1/1 Blue Diamond almond Q from Facebook not too long ago. Great week for me. Thanks Michelle!
https://www.facebook.com/BlueDiamondAlmonds/app_310020462450067
That is a GREAT coupon for me. Thanks!
Thanks!! I love these almonds!! It does say limit 1 per customer though.
Also, a $.55 peelie on the Glad trash bags exp 12/31/13
The Stocking Spree sheet has a $1 off any Charmin Q.
Fresh salmon with the $2 off PQ, Bertolli sauce,& Fresh Express for me!
Thanks Michelle!!
Don’t forget about the $1 fresh pork coupon that was available online not long ago. Mine has an expiration of 4/1/13. I got a great deal on some ground pork recently that was on special.
Thanks so much for all you do to help us save…..Marilyn
My publix told me that they are no longer accepting doris coupons as a competitor as of april 1
According to the Running Out, Run In rebate form, Gain Laundry Detergent does not participate in the rebate.
FYI! I went to Publix on Saturday (3/09/13) so that I could get ‘gas cards’. I usually shop on Wednesday. The store manager told us that BP was pulling out of the program and they were no longer offering BP gas cards with the coupon $10.00 off $50.00.
At my store, they are no longer offering BP, instead I found Racetrack gas cards.
Bp and Shell were the only options at my store as of yesterday…
BP was discontinued at my store too, and replaced with Racetrac. I did an online search on the Racetrac website and there are no stations within a 50 mile radius of my town. So why they would sell the cards at my store is a mystery to me.
In my area, they offered QT, Racetrac and Shell. Since the BP’s were gone, I picked up two Shell cards and then wished I hadn’t! I should have gotten QT or Racetrac because there is only ONE Shell in a 50 mile radius, in the most inconvenient place…
::sigh:: Live and learn, my friends…
Anybody wanna trade?
I was able to exchange all 5 of my shell gas cards for Race Trac, they just have to call and make sur eyou still have $50
Does anyone know the regular price for Mrs. Paul’s fish at Publix? I saw them at Shoprite for 4.24 and at Kmart for 4.78 which minus the %50 off would be around 2.25 for the average. Minus the $1/1 and you have seafood for $1.25! Cheaper if they are less than the average of $4.51!!
the campells chunkysoup coupon in satisfying big appetite is a manu coup not publix exs 3-31-13 big game appetites booklet
What has happened to the Publix tea in deli going BOGO every 6 weeks or so, it has been 10-12 weeks since I saw any? Love that stuff
Publix Deli Tea in the gallon size was BOGO the week of 1/10-1/16, and the half gallon size was BOGO the week of 1/31-2/6, so it hasn’t been that long. I’m sure it will go BOGO again soon…always does.
thanks, must have missed it or it wasnt in lower Ala, hopefully soon
Michelle is the Wrigley’s/Orbit gum considered the grab and go one? If so, there’s a q for it.
anyone know how much the regular Publix blend of salad is (generally, I know it may vary. I’m in Jacksonville, FL)? I know they often have sales for 2/$4 but I don’t know how much it is otherwise!
Is anyone else having trouble finding the Purdue coupon in the 2/10 RP??? NOT THERE!! AGH!
Coupons are often regional–there’s a bit of variation, so your insert may not contain this particular q.Hth…
The glad coupon makes you sign up, and thn when you click the button to retrieve the coupon, it says that the offer has ended. Anyone else have luck with that?
Also, the pampers coupon link leads to a blank screen…..
And what is with the first link for the Gogurt coupon? It’s some kind of digital couponing site in Spanish.
This is a good ad for me, but none of the coupons are printing.

I have a $2/1 Vidal Sassoon color, care or styling product peelie that Ir received on products I initially bought at Publix… which will make the shampoo only $0.50. Buy 10 with 10 peelies (if you can find them!) for a total of $5… and you are eligible for the Running Out? Running In! rebate for a $5 giftcard, making them all free! I thought it was interesting that only the shampoo is included in the promotion, so be careful!
Thanks so much for always posting the ad on Monday! Love getting a head start on my list and coupons!
Wanted to let you know that the Raisin Bran Ibotta coupon will not work with the $1.99 Raisin Bran deal. Publix has the 12 to 13.7 oz boxes on sale but the coupon requires a 15 oz. or larger box. Bummer, right?! Made that mistake last week and wanted to be sure others didn’t do the same.
Thanks again!!!
I almost made that mistake today too, but caught the size difference just in time.
NEW COUPON POLICY @ PUBLIX. Publix (at least in North Florida) has now changed its coupon policy with respect to gas card deals and the Winn Dixie coupons (well, it’s a larger change overall, but I ran into it in that specific situation over the weekend). You now have to buy a total grocery purchase that is the sum of the requirements on both coupons to use both — $80 ($50 grocery purchase required for gas card + $30 grocery purchase required for Winn Dixie coupon). Apparently it is a new district-wide policy that went into effect this past week. The store manager was very emphatic and said that the gas card deal + WD coupon was a specific example used in the hours-long training session with everyone.
where in N Florida? I am in Pensacola?
Tallahassee. But the store manager said the district manager has been visiting all the stores in the district to train on the new policy, which likely includes Pensacola. You could just check with customer service at your store next time you go.
I am in N. Lauderdale South Florida and the Publix which I shopped for is on McNab road. Since July 2012 they haven’t been allowing to use coupon for gas card and Winndixie $5.00 of $30.00 of at the same transaction until you will have the total of $80.00. They also don’t allow to use multiple off ( Winndixie or Doris) coupons at the same transaction. So to follow their rules I have to shop there sometimes 2-3 times a week.
Mine doesn’t allow multiples in the same transaction either, so I just separate out my transactions ahead of time and pay separately, rather than coming back to the store. Have you tried that? Because it’s per transaction, not per visit.
My Publix will limit your amount of transactions though to 2 or 3. Just be careful, and ask ahead of time.
IN A WAY I CAN UNDERSTAND…IT IS LIKE USEING $1 OFF 2 ITEMS…IT ATTACHES TO BOTH ITEMS…THE WINN DIXIE COUPON ATTACHES TO THE $20 GROCERIES AND THE GAS CARD COUPON ATTACHES TO THE $50 GROCERIES.AND AS WE ALL KNOW YOU CANT USE 2 STORE COUPONS ON THE SAME ITEMS.
There is a $1/1 Dole fruit cup or parfait I printed off coupons.com a couple of days ago, not sure if it’s still available.
There’s a Totinos rebate for qualifying items (marked on packages) that someone shared on another blog I follow. The blog didn’t share it but a follower. You get $5 rebate for entering (4) codes from marked packages of Totinos Party Pizza. Anyways, it can be found here if you are interested: http://www.useyourcash.com/totinosgrocerycash/
Oh, and I almost forgot…there is a great cereal q for $2/2 boxes of various cereals (Rice krispies, Fruit Loops and more) on the AARP coupon webpage. There’s also a $1.25/1 Smartfood (new product) q available on there as well.I printed and now am just waiting on the right deal to use them on
It’s $2 off JUICE wyb any 2 Rice Krispies, Fruit Loops, etc. Unless there was a different one yesterday when you posted.
Oy! Should have known that was too good to be true!
Thanks anyway for the AARP coupons.com heads up!
Here in South Florida, in the 2/24/2013 Smartsource, there was a MQ (Redeem at Publix) for $1/2 Kleenex 50 Ct or higher, so with this coupon if you have it, you can score Kleenex for 25 Cents a box.
It Expires 03/24/2013
Thank you so much! I knew I saw this coupon but couldn’t find it and it’s not listed in the database either. You rock!

I just skimmed the comments, so I apologize if this is a repeat.
Do you think the Boar’s Head Corned Beef lunchmeat that will be on sale would qualify for the Corned Beef Rebate? I don’t see why not, but want to see if someone else out there has a different opinion.
I buy 10 or more in one item because they allowed me to do it plus I only want to go shopping once a week. I have family of six and I never resale the stuff that I get for free at publix. That’s just wrong. I only shop at one publix. I have 3 that close to me but I don’t go store to store to get all the freebies like others do. I don’t go to cvs, walmart or other stores. I am only loyal to my publix. Sometimes I gave away stuff to my neighbor and to church but never cross my mine re selling stuff that I got from publix.
Are we sure that the coupon “$0.50/1 Bertolli Sauces, any (Maximum of 2 identical coupons allowed in same shopping trip) – 03-03-13 RP Insert (exp 3/31/2013)” actually exists?
All of the listings for Bertolli Sauce coupons shown on ebay, under both the active and completed categories, are for either $0.60/1 or $1.50/2.
I need some help figuring out a deal at publix. I am going to use the publix coupon for $2 off when you buy oj and 2 sausage coupon and the mq for the same deal also the $1 off 1 dz eggs when you buy one sausage and the $1 off 1 dz eggs when you purchase tortilla’s I also have the $.55 off 2 dz eggs mq coupon.
So is that 2 sausages or 3 sausages I need to buy ( as a beginner I am not sure)?
Also on the eggs is that 1 dz or 2 dz (as both coupons would be $2 off the eggs) and can I use the $.55 cent of 2 dz with the eggs if it is 2 dz or if I purchase an extra one?
This is the first time I am trying a deal like this and not sure how to do it. Thanks in advance.
anyone else having trouble signing onto cooking with kraft?
Just a rant – I guess people in the Tampa area are not allowed to eat Toaster Strudel. I never get the mfg q’s for it.
Is the amount necessary for “Running Out? Run In” $25 before or after BOGO sales price? The rebate form specifies before coupons, but not sales prices.
Publix Milk, Gallon, $2.99
This was posted here last week(or the week before) and again this week, and both times I did not see sale on my Publix, is this regional? Can anyone confirm please?
Yes, regional. I’m in FL and ours is NEVER on sale. And I mean NEVER.
Susan is so right when she says NEVER!!
There is a $1.00/1 Fresh Express Blend or Kit Salad coupon on http://www.hannaford.com that says (Available at Hannaford Stores), but is a Manufacturer Coupon.
can you post the direct link?Can`t find it
