Greedy Couponers – Do You Deal With It At Your Store?

November 16, 2016 By Michelle 42 Comments

madSara emailed the following. I thought I would share it to see if you all had any feedback for her. I know it can be frustrating to deal with greedy folks but I am not sure I have any solutions for her. Maybe you guys will have some ideas!

I have been wanting to write this for a long time – not as it applies to you or any of the readers who “coupon with compassion.”

I have noticed that in the past several months some couponers are becoming more “greedy” or inconsiderate of others.  I am speaking of those who insist on waiting at the doors of Publix on the first day of a sale and immediately clearing the shelves of every available item.  I would not have an issue with this if it were multiple individuals buying one or two of an item.  I do have an issue with the one or two who purchase all items just to get the deal – even though the items will not be used immediately.  I am all in favor or people stocking up on products that they use when they are on sale – I do that myself.  However, I do not do it at the expense of other customers.  What I mean by this is that I might purchase a few on the first day of the sale, but if I want more, I will return later in the week to get more.  This gives others a chance to take advantage of the deals.  If it is out of stock later in the week, I will gladly take a raincheck and come back when the shelves have been restocked.

I know people will argue that “the early bird gets the worm” and that they are not doing anything wrong since Publix does not always set a limit.  However, just because something is possible – does not mean that it should be done at the expense of other shoppers.  I know people will also argue that Publix should order more stock.  Maybe they should – but that does not make it alright to hoard all the sale items available.

I have spoken personally with several different managers/employees at various Publix locations and they all have similar stories regarding these people who are inconsiderate of other shoppers and buy everything in stock.  Publix does not enforce limits on many items – except when people choose their own selfish need to get the beat deals and ignore the fact that they are not the only people in the world who might need the items.

One additional problem caused by a few individuals emptying the stock the first day of a sale is that here in Tennessee – that first day, Wednesday, is senior discount day.  I have been in the store many times when I see an older individual who comes to shop on Wednesday for the discount but is unable to find any of the sale items left.  Even if they are able to get the raincheck, unless they return on a Wednesday they will not get their discount.  It may not seem like much but for those on a fixed income – it is important.

I guess I just wanted to get this off my chest and I hope that you either post the sentiment or even parts of my email.  I know most who are part of the problem will ignore the issue, find ways to justify their actions, or possibly not even recognize themselves as part of the problem.

coupon question and answer

 

I had a question come in that I think we have touched on before but I thought it might be something good to talk about. So I thought that I would share my answer then open it up so that you guys could fill in with anything that I might have missed!

Coupon Question And Answer – Ask I Heart Publix For 3/2

March 2, 2016 By Michelle 15 Comments

coupon question and answer

If you have a question about couponing at Publix, this is the place to find the answer! Each week I have a little coupon question and answer session here on Ask I Heart Publix. Keep sending in those questions – I love to answer them! Just remember if I didn’t get to your question this week…I will do my best to cover it another week!!

Remember–there is a tab at the top of the site under “About” titled “Ask I Heart Publix” where you can find the questions and answers from past weeks!

Here are this week’s questions:

  • Janice wants to know - "Do they require you to have a baby/child of a certain age to sign up for the Publix Baby Club?"
  • A reader emailed asking - "If I need an item for my holiday recipe that's not an item that's typically carried at Publix how far ahead do I need to order to have it in time for my family meal?"
  • Amy asks - "Is it appropriate to return an item if you didn't like it?" Will Publix give me my money back if I purchase an item that I just didn't like? I hate buying something even with coupons and then finding that I didn't like it!"

1."Do they require you to have a baby/child of a certain age to sign up for the Publix Baby Club?"  The club is intended for folks who are expecting and those who have little ones up to age 2. After age 2, I believe the kids transition to the kids club. You can see more about the program over on the Publix page HERE.

2. "How far ahead do I need to order to have it in time for my family meal?" I think it will really depend on the item that you are needing. Publix gets trucks in multiple times per week so I would imagine that you should be able to order about a week before you need it. If it's a really rare item or something that you need a very large amount of you might need to give them a little more notice. You might also ask if there is a seasonal item that you are needing...sometimes those items come in at certain times. I needed chestnuts once and the produce manager was able to tell me the week that they would be available. Just a thought!

3. "Is it appropriate to return an item if you didn't like it?" I don't think Publix offers a taste guarantee on national brand products. It might be a good idea to try new products when you can get them super cheap with a coupon/sale combo just in case you aren't thrilled with them. Often the company will have a taste/money back guarantee but Publix isn't required to give you a refund just because you didn't like the taste. Of course if there was an issue of some sort, they would stand behind what they sell. BUT--Publix does stand behind their own brand items. They will refund your money if you are not completely satisfied with their products! So...you might be better off grabbing the Publix brand. As you might have seen in my Try Me Tuesday posts...we are typically very pleased with the Publix brand items. They are often so similar to the name brands and usually much cheaper!

Ask The Readers 2/17 – Where Are The Booklets Kept At Your Store?

February 17, 2016 By Michelle 26 Comments

Publix-Ask-the-Readers-2

I had originally planned a Q&A for today but I have got a whole lot of questions about booklets lately so I thought it might be better to put this question out today. Lots of folks are having issues finding the "Stop, Shop and Save Big!" booklet and emailing me asking where to find it. Now, I know where my store keeps the booklet but I got to thinking...maybe not all the stores keep them in the same spot!

At my store the booklets are kept at the customer service desk. They put a few out at a time and replenish the supply as the stack is depleted. They even keep a supply of Advantage Buy flyers there as well.

Now, at my store in Atlanta the kept the booklets behind the desk and you had to actually ask for the booklets.

So let's hear it...where are the booklets at your store? Maybe if you guys share the various locations, other folks will have a better idea where to look.

Ask The Readers (Do Over) – What Competitor Coupons Does Your Store Accept?

January 20, 2016 By Michelle 5 Comments

Publix-Ask-the-Readers-2

Last week I asked you guys to give me the scoop on your store policies...well I didn't do a very good job with my little form. You guys pointed out that I didn't give the option for folks to choose if your store accepted multiple competitors.

So I have a new little form that I am hoping will be a little better. If you will take a minute to complete it, I will be able to add it to the results I got last week and share all the info next week.

I have good intentions...I just forget the little details every now and again ;-)

Coupon Question And Answer – Ask I Heart Publix For 12/9

December 9, 2015 By Michelle 1 Comment

coupon question and answer

If you have a question about couponing at Publix, this is the place to find the answer! Each week I have a little coupon question and answer session here on Ask I Heart Publix. Keep sending in those questions – I love to answer them! Just remember if I didn’t get to your question this week…I will do my best to cover it another week!!

Remember–there is a tab at the top of the site under “About” titled “Ask I Heart Publix” where you can find the questions and answers from past weeks!

Here are this week’s questions:

  • Lisa wants to know "...what to do when you forget to use a coupon at checkout?"
  • Benjamin asks, "Where can I find the Advantage flyers in the store?"
  • Smitha wonders "does Publix price match and can you take back your receipt if you find a product at a lower price at a different store after you purchase it at Publix to get the difference?"
  1. What do you do when you forget to use a coupon at checkout?
    If you spot the error while you at at the store, the easiest thing to do is to take your receipt over to customer service and they will fix the issue. Typically they will give you cash back for your coupons. Now...if you get home and notice that you forgot to use a coupon you'll still need to visit the customer service desk with your receipt. I am not sure if there is a time limit in which you must make the request. You might need to ask your store to see what their specific rules are on that.
  2. Where can I find the Advantage flyers in the store?
    I get this question quite often and have probably answered it multiple times...but I thought it might be a good one to add in again. The flyers are usually in a couple of spots at the store. First, check the turnstyle at the front of the store where the regular ads are kept. If you don't see them there, you may need to check at customer service. Often he booklets are kept at the desk so that folks don't take too many at once.Also remember, you can now view the flyers online at Publix.com. You can even print the coupons as well. That makes things so much easier!
  3. Does Publix price match and can you take back your receipt if you find a product at a lower price at a different store after you purchase it at Publix to get the difference?
    Publix does not price match. So there is no need to bring in other ads and try to get them to match ads from other stores. You may see that they do comparison pricing of Walmart prices but they will not match prices...they just do the comparisons to show you that you are getting a better deal by shopping at Publix. So to answer the second part of your question, since they don't price match...they are not going to give you the price difference after the fact either.

Here are this week’s questions:

  • Ginny wants to know - "can I order the booklets if I can't find them in the store?"
  • CJ sent this one -  "What's up with the new tags at Publix. Am I the only one who finds them hard to read?"
  • Liz wonders - you often share sweepstakes that run at Publix and I would like to know how to find out when to know when I should give up hopes that I might be among the winners.

1.  Can I order the booklets if I can't find them in the store

There isn't a way to order the booklets that I know of. But - the good news is... most of the booklets are now available to print! For those of you guys who have been couponing for a while, you might remember how we used to have to go on wild hunts for those elusive booklets. Now, we can get a couple of copies from the convenience of our couch. I LOVE this new change! Remember you can see the list of available booklets under the deals tab in my navigation bar --just click Publix Booklets to see them all!

Best Of Ask I Heart Publix For 11/4

November 4, 2015 By Michelle 4 Comments

coupon question and answer

I have been answering questions for Ask I Heart Publix for over four years now, and many of the same questions keep popping up as new couponers write in. So every once in a while, I am going to feature a "Best Of" Ask I Heart Publix, where I'll post some of my favorite questions and answers from past weeks, months, and years.

Don't worry....I'll still be answering the new questions you guys send in, too, so keep sending in those questions!

Don't forget to look under the "About" tab where you can find the questions and answers from past weeks!

Here are this week’s "Best of" questions:

  • Blair wants to know: A lot of times I go in to my local Publix to shop with my list and coupons I’ve made using your website and matchups, and when I get there several of the items that were supposedly BOGO or on sale, are not. Two recent examples are Blue Bell Ice Cream and Friendship Sour Cream. What's up with that - are a lot of Publix sale items regional?
  • Alex emailed: Why don't you identify coupons that are store specific such as the (ones that say redeemable at Walmart)? Is it legal to use these at Publix?
  • Trish asks: I want the tearpads that you list in the ad. Where do I get them?

A lot of times I go in to my local Publix to shop with my list and coupons I’ve made using your website and matchups, and when I get there several of the items that were supposedly BOGO or on sale, are not. Two recent examples are Blue Bell Ice Cream and Friendship Sour Cream. What's up with that - are a lot of Publix sale items regional?

Yep, there may be some regional difference but there will not typically be many if any in a given week. I always put that little notation at the top of each ad. I try to note the differences when folks let me know but there is just no way on earth I can check all the different ads in each area. So--if you see a regional difference...let me know and I will make the addition or notation

Coupon Question And Answer – Ask I Heart Publix For 10/21

October 21, 2015 By Michelle 2 Comments

coupon question and answer

If you have a question about couponing at Publix, this is the place to find the answer! Each week I have a little coupon question and answer session here on Ask I Heart Publix. Keep sending in those questions – I love to answer them! Just remember if I didn’t get to your question this week…I will do my best to cover it another week!!

Remember–there is a tab at the top of the site under “About” titled “Ask I Heart Publix” where you can find the questions and answers from past weeks!

Here are this week’s questions:

  • Sue asks do Publix Digital coupon reset?
  • Brian says that sometime you list coupons in the ad and when I try to print, the coupon isn't there...what gives?
  • Jamie emailed with the following: You have a few Publix Digital coupons in the ad but they are not in my list. Are these coupons regional or do they vary per person?
  • Mrs. "B" says - I'm tired of missing out on deals because I don't print coupons when they come out. Do you have suggestions on when the best time to print a coupon - is there a way to tell when it will expire/disappear?

1. Do Publix Digital coupon reset? Yes --sometimes they do! Unfortunately like printable coupons there is no rhyme or reason and we have no notice or anything when it happens. Your best bet is to check the site every couple of days and either load them all or load the ones that you like just in case you may want to use it down the road!

Coupon Question And Answer – Ask I Heart Publix For 10/7

October 7, 2015 By Michelle 2 Comments

coupon question and answer

If you have a question about couponing at Publix, this is the place to find the answer! Each week I have a little coupon question and answer session here on Ask I Heart Publix. Keep sending in those questions – I love to answer them! Just remember if I didn’t get to your question this week…I will do my best to cover it another week!!

Remember–there is a tab at the top of the site under “About” titled “Ask I Heart Publix” where you can find the questions and answers from past weeks!

Here are this week’s questions:

  • Sue asks - When can I print Publix coupons. Why are some available and others aren't online?
  • Anonymous asks - When do Publix Digital coupons reset?
  • Jill emailed asking - How often will we see the Publix Digital freebies?
  • Mary wants to know where the "Try Theirs Get Ours Promotion" went and is Publix going to bring it back?
  • Mary also wanted to know what happened to Try Me Tuesday and is it coming back ;-)

1. Publix has started to put the majority of their coupons online which is WONDERFUL! The Advantage Buy flyer coupons are now online the day that they are active. Most of the booklet coupons are also now available to print online too. As to how they pick and choose the ones that they give us to print... I just am not sure. Honestly there are only the few tearpads here and there that we haven't had available to print. The vast majority of coupons are now online. For those who have been couponing for a while, I am sure you folks can remember the days when we used to have to search high and low looking for those elusive coupons! It's such a nice change of pace being able to print them now!!
