Publix 101

Recently Publix came out with corporate and local store policies.  If you are in another area, you can print this info and use it as a guide to ask your Publix the correct questions. Every store takes different competitor coupons.

1. Remember if you have a question it is always a good idea to ask customer service.
2. Local policies as of 5/15 (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. Read fine print on competitor coupons for restriction, as Publix will follow those same restrictions.

Publix does 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 STORE (Publix/competitor coupons are both STORE Coupons) 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:  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 an accepted drugstore.

Walgreen’s Rebate Rewards, which are manufacturer coupons printed at the register are also accepted in Daphne. You can use these to pay in Daphne.

6. USING $/$ OFF COUPONS: (Spend $30, Get $5 off). Allowed to use two $/$$ (one Publix and one competitor) 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 at publix.com for their many Clubs & Programs(more coupons in the booklets you receive at home).

8. RAINCHECKS: If Publix is out of an item ask for a rain check at the customer service counter. Expires in 30 days.

9. QUANTITY LIMITS: 5 B1G1 deals or 10 total items in Daphne.  This is to prevent shelf clearing.

10. MOBILE COUPONS: Do NOT accept cellphone coupons.

11. NO MILITARY COUPONS
