Saving BIG $ at Publix!

Oh, Publix, “Where Shopping is a Pleasure”…the store’s motto truly fits. Growing up in Florida, this was the only place my parents shopped and my northern relatives still rave about the store when visiting the “Sunshine State”.

So last December when my friend, Patty, said she saved around 50% off her bill every time she went to Publix…I was NOT a believer!

I couldn’t walk out of Publix without spending $70 (and all my purchases fit into one bag!) I already shopped the BOGOs (buy one get one free) and had the occasional coupon here or there.

The information shared with me has saved my family $$$ hundreds of dollars this year $$$!!

I had been a LONG time customer of Publix but never knew how spectacular they really are!! Their new Motto – Love to Shop Here…Love to Save Here! Really Fits!!

Publix accepts competitors coupons!

Each store has it’s own policy about which competitors they accept depending on the location of stores around them. My Publix accepts store coupons from Winn Dixie, Target, Save-A-Lot, The Fresh Market and Whole Foods. (Food Lion went out of business)

Check your store (at the weekly ad display) for a card (pictured below) or ask at customer service.

Stack Coupons!

I had no idea what stacking coupons was…but now I know it is a way to save BIG! Publix will accept a store coupon (from Publix or any of your store’s competitors) AND a manufacturer’s coupon for one item.

This is a Publix store coupon for Libby’s Vegetables:

This is Manufacturer’s coupon for Libby’s Vegetables:

You can STACK these coupons! Buy 4 cans of Libby’s vegetables and receive
$1.00 off with store coupon + $1.00 off manufacturer coupon = $2.00 off!

Use the Weekly Ad to Maximize Savings!

If you prepare a list using the weekly ad and your coupons… this will maximize your savings!

Don’t get the Thursday paper? No problem! I view the weekly ad from the Publix website

Check out the possibilities!

This week at my store, Libby’s Vegetables are on sale BOGO (buy one get one free)

Buy one at $1.19 get one free… BUT using the coupons above would MAXIMIZE your savings!

Buy 2 cans of Libby’s vegetables at $1.19 each = $2.38

Get 2 FREE!

(so according to Publix you are buying 4 cans and can use the coupons!)

Use one Publix store coupon = $1.00 off

Use one manufacturer coupon = $1.00 off

4 cans of vegetables for $2.38 – $2.00 in coupons = ONLY .38 cents!!

4 cans of veggies for 38 cents ~ WOW!
