1. Remember if you have a question it is always a good idea to ask customer service.
2. Local policies as of 12/21 (subject to change).
3. Each Publix store coupon policy may vary based on local manager’s discretion.
4. Subject to change.
HOW TO GET THE BEST DEALS AT PUBLIX:
1. BEST DEALS ARE B1G1s or sale items: You do not have to buy 2 of the B1G1 items to get the sale price.
Items ring up 1/2 and 1/2 (Fairhope, Daphne, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach).
Example–Chips are $2.00 on sale B1G1. So first bag will ring up $1, and second bag will ring up $1. I could just buy 1 bag and they still would be $1.
Publix stores in Florida are different. B1G1s ring up full price and $0–so you must buy 2 items.
2. COMPETITOR COUPONS: Publix in Fairhope, Gulf Shores & Orange Beach accept competitor coupons(Target, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, local grocery stores including Bruno’s, Winn Dixie). Read fine print on competitor coupons for restriction, as Publix will follow those same restrictions.
The Publix in Fairhope & Daphne will accept Dollar General coupons. No Family Dollar. They(like most Publix stores) do NOT accept department store, Food Lion, GNC, etc…If we do not have the grocery/drugstore in our area they will not accept those coupons.
Remember, always read fine print on a coupon. If it is one of each coupon per transaction then those may be the rules that you have to follow at Publix as well.
3. STACKING: You can use ONE Publix/competitor coupon and ONE manufacturer coupon per ONE item. So, a max of TWO coupons(one manufacturer and one store coupon) per item. This is called stacking.
4. NO DOUBLING COUPONS: Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Daphne & Fairhope Publix locations do NOT double manufacturer coupons. Some Publix stores do double coupons that are .50¢ or less.
5. DRUGSTORE COMPETITOR COUPONS: Fairhope, Gulf Shores, Daphne & Orange Beach locations will accept drugstore coupons as competitors(CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid). These coupons must be actual cents or dollars off of a product. No price matching “coupon”. You can read more here.
Now this may be helpful if you happen to receive a $5/30 or even a $10/50 at CVS. These CVS coupons are found on the bottom of your receipt, CVS emails, or price scanners where you can scan your CVS card for additional coupons. THEY DO NOT TAKE CVS ECBs. ONLY $5 off purchase amount coupons. Rite Aid usually has a $5/$25 available on redplum.com, under the zip 95677, extend 50 miles.
Walgreen’s Rebate Rewards, which are manufacturer coupons printed at the register are also accepted. You can use these to pay! ONE per transaction Fairhope, Gulf Shores, Daphne, Orange Beach. (FL district)
Stores will not accept Walgreen’s copied flyer coupons. They will accept Walgreen’s monthly booklet coupons but they will need to be the original coupons and not copies.
6. USING $/$ OFF COUPONS: (Spend $30, Get $5 off). Only allowed to use ONE $/$$ at all of our local Publix stores as long as your order total qualifies before other coupons. Hand this coupon to the cashier first and then your other coupons.
7. FINDING PUBLIX COUPONS: Publix coupon booklets are usually located in the front of the store, in displays or at the customer service counter. These include Advantage Buy flyers(Yellow and Green), Grape magazine, Family Style, etc…Register online atpublix.com for their many Clubs & Programs(more coupons in the booklets you receive at home).

Hey Shannon:
I just got a bunch of coupons in the mail from babies r us- they send them all the time b/c i registered there when i was expecting.
I noticed that the coupon barcodes begin with 5, but they don’t say manufacturer coupon anywhere on them. will publix accept these as manufacturer coupons ( i was told that they won’t take toys r us coupons as competitors Q’s)?
If they will take them, that would be awesome!!!! there’s a $5 off any Tide coupon and a $7 off Huggies diapers/wipes.
Thanks!
~Lauren
I recommend asking customer service. Do they say Babies R Us on them? Is there a mailing address in the fine print?
It does say Babies R Us and toys r Us on the coupon- I don’t have it here with me now, but I will check on the mailing address.
I think I will take them with me this week to Publix and just ask them about it at customer service.
thanks! And sorry it took a couple days to comment back.
Hey Shannon:
I double-checked when I got home last night and no, there isn’t an address on the coupon. But i read the fine print and it does say BY MFT (it was the abbrev. for manufacturer)
I have used the Toys R Us coupons @ Publix several times and have not had a problem…
Do you know if Winn-Dixie will price match another grocery store?
No. Winn Dixie does not price match.
