Publix Weekly Ad 3/25-3/31

on 3.25.2009 at 1:13am
Jenny View Comments Comments

Here are all the deals that start today 3/25 at Publix (or Thursday 3/26 in some areas). There are a ton of good coupon matches this week. The Advantage Buy deals are at the bottom of this list.

Let me know if you see something I missed or find a deal in the store.

New Food Lion Printable coupons are up, there is nothing that thrilling this week. There is still a $2 off $5 Deli or Produce purchase from last week!! Don’t forget that you can use a competitor coupon for house brand items on Publix house brands.

Remember:

1. You do not have to buy 2 of the B1G1 items to get the sale price
2. If you do buy 2 items that are B1G1 make sure you use 2 coupons to get the best deal
3. Publix accepts competitors coupons (you can stack with a manufacturers coupon and a Publix coupon too)
4. You can use a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon on the same item
5. Most Publix locations double manufacturer coupons that are .50¢ or less

**1 & 5 do not apply to Florida stores**
For a detailed explanation of Publix’s coupon policy go here.

  • LOL I think all Publix's are starting to give harder times with coupons... I don't understand why... They get reimbursed plus $.08 each coupon!!!
  • christina
    No, I am in SC.. Just sounds all too familar. :-) Have a great night!
  • It was in Central Florida. The Port saint john Publix off US 1, know of it??
  • christina
    Aymie what store were you at if you don't mind sharing?
  • Jenny
    Had a frustrating experience tonight at Publix.
    I had two coupons for nutri grain bars $1.00 of 2 Target... I have never had a problem with them taking Target coupons. The cashier was so rude to me about it and said "I dont know if youre aware but they changed the policy, we can no longer take Target coupons." I replied "Well I guess I will have to call the manager again and have him reverify that because its never been a problem." That comment made her angry, she barely even looked up and said "Well I *guess* I will take it just for today." She almost threw the change at me, didnt say goodnight, bye, nothing. I said "I hope you have a great night, take care."
    So I went in the car and immediately called and spoke to the manager. He was so nice about it, and apologized for her behavior. He even said "I dont know where she got THAT from, our policy hasnt changed one bit, in fact we take pride that you use your competitor coupons with us rather than any other grocery store."
    He then went on to say "I will definately talk with her and I apologize again and hope this doesnt steer you away from Publix." I politely said no, but I know I will never be going through her line again!!!
    What do I do in the future should another situation like this happen again? Do I argue with the cashier, have a manager intervene, let it go?? What would you do??
    Thanks Jenny!

    You can print the price guarantee off of their website. On their website, click on about Publix, then Q&A, then store and it should be the 5th Q&A down. Also, like the other poster said, it can be found at the store.
  • Elaine
    Teri,
    Check near Customer Service, look on the side wall by the cashier and lastly also on the wall going out of most Publix. It is label "Publix Price Guarantee".

  • maryann
    byrnes grad..... i have like 6 of them if you really need some i can share!!!
  • jennifer
    MARYANNE PLEASE DONT TELL ME THIS IS YOU WHO TOOK THE LAST GLASS CLEANERS. I HOPE U ARENT THE PERSON I KNOW.
  • Sarah
    Looks like Publix is changing their policy on Hwy 6. . .looks like they are not going to give overage anymore . . . ya'll pray.
  • Yes I am in FL.
    Thanks so much for the info! It couldnt hurt to try! Thanks again! This is so addicting and fun!
  • If I have a coupon for buy Hillshire farms lunch meat and get a bag of Lay's potato chips free, can I get a bag of Doritos (bogo) since it's Frito lay company? Would that make the other bag free??
  • Jenny
    Aymie,
    The coupon will probably work on any Lay's product. The two (Hillshire and Lay's) are not in the same product family so the code on the coupon has to be pretty vague. If you are in FL (which is what my memory is telling me) then yes it will make both bags for free.
  • Whitney
    Hey Jennifer, You should be able to get a rain check for however many glass cleaners you want, and when they come in, you will still be able to get that price.
  • I know this is late but there is a Target coupon for $1.00 off two nutri grain bars, and it is bogo at Publix. Might want to print it and rush there!
  • Teri
    Does anyone know where the policy is stated that says that if you are charged the wrong price at publix you get the item free? I want to try this since I had two misspriced items but not unless I can read and print out this policy to take with me. Thanks!
  • Jenny
    Teri,

    It is not in writing that I know of anywhere, but if you go in they will never give you a problem. Just hand the item to customer service and they will refund the money and hand the product back to you.
  • Aymie,
    Thanks for clearing that up. Funny thing is when I first clicked on the coupon(probably the $1.50 off one) it popped up "You've already used this coupon". I wrote the site and said, "this is my first time ever on your site, I've never printed one out before!" Then the next time I pushed print it came out $1.50 on two. About hitting the back button, is that ok to do, or it that "reprinting" the coupon as it says on the coupon "no reprints allowed"> Just wondering... Thanks for the reply.
  • Sylvie
    I tried the knox coupon w/ the 1.39 gelatin last night at my Publix and "no-go." I politely just asked them to take it off the order and went on with my purchase. I'm not going to EVER complain about my Publix... they take all my coupons from Wallgreens, Food-Giant, Kroger, Target, etc. and the other Publix just down the road doesn't.

    I do try and go to the same cashier each time and this time had a different one, but I think the $4 coupon on a $1.39 item might have been a red-flag for any of the cashiers.

    If any of you are in the North Suburbs of Atlanta... the Haynes Bridge/Old Alabama Publix is WONDERFUL (and the Kroger across the street is just about the nicest I've ever been to, so it makes 2-stop shopping runs easier)

    I didn't know about the Publix brand free with Brand-name on the condiments though... will have to return for that one! (and I thought I'd finished my Publix runs till Thursday!!)

    Thank you Jenny... and everyone else who shared deals that helped me save this week!!
  • Anne
    There was a $1.50 off one coupon for coffee mate. You only had a quick chance to redeem it, and if you didn't keep hitting the backspace you would have only been allowed to print one. I was lucky and able to get 4, but I am guessing that was my limit since I am unable to print more, unfortunately.
  • Jessica
    Amy, the "blinkie" machines are all manufacturers' coupons. They have some at CVS, too.

    Anne, if you are in Florida, we get shafted on the penny deals. Only applies in other states.
  • Debbie
    no more crystal light coupons will print
  • Does anyone know how long it takes upromise to "redeem" the e-coupons? I shopped at publix last week and used my shoppers card and it states that the glass plus e-coupon has not been redeemed yet I purchased 2 of them. Thanks for your help! :)
  • Jenny,
    I printed the CoffeeMate Creamer coupon off their site, but it states on the coupon "Save $1.50 when you buy two(2) 15oz or larger packages of Coffee-Mate Liquid or powder any variety". My question is, how are people using it at Publix and getting the creamer for only 16 cents? That would only be possible if they allowed you to use the $1.50 coupon on each one. If you use the $1.00 coupon on one, and the $1.50 on the other two(of the 3/$5 deal) then the final cost is really 3 for $2.50 or $0.83 per container, right? Or was there a coupon for $1.50 off of one that I missed?
    p.s. my Publix manager said he had never heard of the penny deals on Sunday and Monday. Why's that?
  • Christa
    FYI - live North of Atlanta - Publix milk is advertised for $ 2.79 in sales flyer instead of $ 2.99 in your text.

    Thanks for everything!!

    the publix on reidville road has no glass cleaner so i went to the one in hillcrest spartanburg,sc and they have tons wish i had more than 4 coupons for the glass cleaner .24 not bad!!
  • Brittany
    Just letting you know, my coupon for the Knox didn't work for the overage. The cashier she could only make it for the value of the product (1.39)I was so upset... I think she was just being a coupon nazi! I will NEVER go back into her aisle! Thanks for all you do Jenny!!
  • Anyone know how much their birds eye veggies are at their store? I am trying to use the $1.00 off three manu one I have since it expires tomorrow.
    And Jenny, question...
    I have a manu $1.00 off 3 bags of birds eye, a $1.00 off Publix for 3 bags of birds eye. Can I also use a coupon per bag?? I have 3 save $.35 off one bag of birds eye... The others are save $1.00 on three bags???
    Thanks!
  • Christina D
    I have been looking for a Food Lion coupon that I THINK I saw a few weeks ago but cannot find now: the $2 off 2 cartons of eggs. I usually download the pdf files, but it isn't on any of my files. Did it expire? Or did I accidentally delete it because all of the other coupons on the page had already expired? Am I crazy?
  • Jenny
    Christina, That FL coupon expired. I try to take them done when they are over so if you don't see it on the main list that is usually the case.
  • Lora
    Just noticed in the SS 3/29 there is a b2g1 free coupon on crystal light. Does anyone know if you can use this with the b1g1 free deal and get it all for free?
  • Jenny
    Lora,
    It depends on where you live. In FL you would get both free, anywhere else they each ring up half price rather than one being free and the other being full price, so you would get 2 for the half price of one.
  • debbie
    Why can't I print the crystal light coupon?
  • Amy
    Jenny, needs some help. My coworker Karen attented your coupon class in Atl a few weeks ago. She went to Publix on Friday and was trying to buy the starkist tuna, she has a coupon from the "blinkie Machine" from a few weeks ago and a manuf coupon from the paper. The cashier, and store manager came and told her the coupon from the blinkie maching was also a manuf coupon and she could not use both coupons for her item. However, nowhere on the blinkie maching coupon did it state manuf coupon. She contacted Publix corporate however they have not contacted her back yet. Since you used to, or still do work with the blinkie machinge company, could you offer some advice. Are they manuf coupons, or not? thanks
  • Jenny M.
    I went to the Lexington store last week, and tried to do a Mq/FoodLion/Publix coupon stack on Birds Eye. The cashier had the manager come over, who said that they can no longer take a Food Lion coupon AND a publix coupon for the same item. Apparently they are now counting them both as "store" coupons, and you can only use one "store" coupon, whether its FoodLion, Publix, Kroger, etc. Bummer.
    I have a feeling our good couponing days are coming to a sad end, now that many people are doing it, and some are abusing it.
  • Misti
    Oh yeah also-I had read on a blog somewhere that if the first five digits of a bar code on a coupon matches the first five digits on a box of cereal you could use the coupon so I tried this and IT WORKED!!!
    Example the .55 coupon for Honey Combs cereal has the same first five digits as the Pebble's cereal so I asked the cashier to try it and it scanned so they took it!
  • Misti
    didnt get a chance to read all the posts but in case no one else mentioned it..there is a 1.00/2 Kellog's nutri grain bars at Target! you can print them from http://sites.target.com/site/en/supertarget/page.jsp?title=coupons_specials
  • Melissa
    I had a great experience at Publix today!

    Here's the bargain:
    Kellogg's Cocoa & Fruity Pebbles B1G1
    2 boxes= $3.69

    Kellogg's Frosted Flakes
    $1.99 each = $4 (-$1 off 2 printable) = $3

    Free gallon of milk w/ purchase of 4 Kellogg's cereals!

    So, all 4 boxes of cereal only cost me $6.69 AND I got a free gallon of Publix milk!

    Thanks for all your great knowledge Jenny! :)
  • Jeannie
    Bob-
    I think the Kellogg's q's were Regional. I take the ATL paper and they were in that Redplum insert, but they were not in my smaller local paper Redplum. The covers look exactly alike, but our local paper does not get as many q's as the ATL paper (every once in awhile the smaller paper has q's that are not in the bigger paper, but not often.)

  • amy
    Paula, I guess from my perspective... as I called Publix to get all of the new coupon rules (there are 7 "new" rules ) I wanted to be staying in the guidelines, the manager was very disgusted and angry about coupons and coupners..all together. I would think she would have been delighted to have a coupon customer who wanted to know exactly what the new policies were before I came. I do know how some have taken advantage and how some have abused the coupon rules (some people have done it innocently until explained otherwise). BUT There will always be people who have very little integrity...what can you do?? I just wanted the new rules. The Snowhill Publix has changed policies often since they have been open since December. so that is why I called....
    another example of many weird vibes from publix...My friend for the first time went to Publix and saved almost %70 (which is not that uncommon) and the check-out lady said "well...there goes my bonus." She felt really bad after her shopping trip that her savings may be at someone else's cost. I only hope that the cashier was mistaken or JOKING.... the Publix at snow hill...for the most part..(some employees have been NOTHING but KIND) makes me feel like I am doing something wrong and I use mostly mfc...(I, for the first time in Feb, used a competitors coupon "stacked" because they said i could..even though i told them my coupopns said i could only use one)...
    Now Snow Hill falls behind Bi-lo for savings..since Bi-lo doubles up to .60...AND they stack house coupons and they give higher number of rain checks. since SH publix does not stack (even house coupons) anymore AND no overage on mfc...they are falling in the ranks...
    As for Bi-Lo they have never been nothing but very happy to take my coupons. I am not sticking with Bi-Lo because Publix sticks with rules...I LOVE RULES =) I just want to KNOW the rules and be welcomed as a honest customer that is working hard to save money for my family. My bi-lo gives coupon classes and once a manager who had to override a coupon that I used, walked up and said "yeah!!! a couponer!! I love to see how much money you guys save!!" She made me feel like I made her day by stopping in..LOL! she was so sweet! For all you who have A great Publix, that is awesome!! I have been there and LOVED it... IN NO WAY SOUR GRAPES!! I am just staying away from mine at snow hill till they get the policies straight and happy about it...and if the deals are good enough I will bypass snowhill and go to the Brainerd Publix...an extra 15 miles..no problem for a huge savings but also a warm greeting =). Just my oppinion...

    Just my 2 cents on the internet coupons but I cannot imagine stores not accepting those. With so many print newspapers having financial difficulties and subscriptions down and their futures uncertain, I think internet coupons will continue to gain popularity.

    I shopped at the Harbison Publix today because I was tired of the coupon critic at the Lexington Publix. I spoke with the manager at the Lexington Publix a couple of weeks ago, but nothing has changed. I found the harbison publix to be super friendly as long as you aren't trying to cheat the system. We cannot make copies of coupons people. Please don't spoil it for everyone by doing so. I'm afraid if this continues they will stop with all internet printables. :-)

    I was at a Col. SC Publix and the cashier said that they are not stacking Publix Coupons with any other coupon. They checked my coupons VERY CAREFULLY. Is anyone else seeing this?
  • regarding the Knox mq's- there were also some in one of the paper inserts a while back- I don't know which- but I have three of them.
  • Nikki
    Hey ya'll. I am new to this "extreme couponing." Question - what is this $120 rebate booklet you are talking about?
  • jennifer
    the knoxx gelatin is 1.39 in spartanburg,sc and it is where the jello is if anyone is interested. my 2 coupons worked just fine today with my purchase...
  • Also, Suave professional care shampoo/conditioner is on sale at Publix. Use Food Lion $1.00 off 2 and also $1 off 2 manu that came in today's paper! Stock up!
  • Sadly both Crystal light coupons up top are not working, however in today's newspaper there is a buy 2 get 1 free crystal light. They are already bogo so stock up because it is buy 1 get 2 free!!

    amy, I hate to hear that you are going to "stick with BI/LO" just because the Publix is following the rules. They ask for a coupon with each item because they know people are using coupons for products they aren't buying. Stacking to many coupons for the same item (which is hard to track on large orders and a stack of coupons at the end of the order). Publix has the best coupon values in the business. They try to go above and beyond any other stores savings for couponers. We could be like all the others and not take competitors at all. I just think (not speaking for Publix) they are getting tired of being taken advantage of them(and sometimes getting ripped off in the meantime). I think it is "sour grapes" that you want to stop shopping at Publix because they would not let you do something that it clearly states you shouldn't be doing.
  • Paula
    Aymie, the deal is really great - especially if you have coupons for the competitor brands. I just wanted to put this on comments because I didn't see it posted any place on here.

    Also, just want everyone to know that we were told this week that if you don't have the penny coupon - you don't get the item. We are no longer allowed to just punch in a code. I am sure all stores were told this, but ask your customer service people if that applies in individual stores. Yeah, I have the fun all day of telling people "NO you can't have this anymore" (I'm being sarcastic - I hate saying no).
  • Paula
    That deal is in the flyer. It's pretty good isn't it?
  • bob
    Can someone show what the 2/22 redplum looks like? Were looking for those elusive Kellogg's coupons. thanks!
  • Paula
    Hey Jenny,
    Did you know that Publix is having a "Compare it for Free" promotion going on from now until April 1st. If you buy a Ragu (small size) you can get a Publix Pasta Sauce (same smaller size) free to compare. Also, Kraft Original BBQ Sauce, you get a Publix BBQ Sauce for FREE. And if you buy Guldens Brown Mustard, you can get a Publix Brown Mustard for Free. You have to have the cashier ring up the Competitor brand first and then the Publix brand after. It is so people can compare Publix brand to a national brand.

    Check it out when you go in the store - Only 1 promotion (1 Sauce, BBQ, and Mustard) per person. So please don't get 2 or more of each, and be kind and honest and don't come in more than once to keep getting that deal.
  • Joe
    If you go to a super target, there should be peelies on the Taco Bell products. I tried looking at two regular Targets by my house and they did not sell Taco Bell products.
    The peelies are regular manu coupons that you find on some items.
  • K
    What do you consider to be the best day to shop at Publix in SC? Do you shop Thursdays after you match the deals that start on Wed? Do you shop Sun/Mon to get mystery/penny coupon deals?
  • Jenny
    I shop on Monday usually to get the penny item.
  • Joe
    I'm sorry, I think I have this right but am I understanding that the $1 Taco bell home dinner coupon is at Target? I've went to two publix and it's not on their products. So I can get it from target and take it to use it at publix? Sorry, i'm new at couponing. Thanks
  • JENNIFER
    also you can use to bilo coupons where u purchase the leading brand and get theirs for free.their are some buy one get ones at publix where u can use bilo coupons.
  • JENNIFER
    just a word of advice if you live in spartanburg,sc the publix on reidville rd is very coupon friendly.also. there is a website called my savings.com you can print coupons also if you have any coupons you dont want you can trade all it cost is a stamp.sometimes it is worth the stamp.
  • Jessica
    Gloria,
    The Greenwise magazine coupon for the Immaculate Baking Company dough doesn't go into effect until 4/1. Fortunately, my Publix doesn't start the new sale week until Thursdays, so I may go get the dough on Wednesday the 1st, if I have time, and use that coupon.
  • Jessica
    Another deal I noted this week:
    Newman's Own Sweet Enough all natural cereal is on sale for $2.99, and I have a $1 off coupon for it that I think came from the 3/15 paper.

    Lindsay, thanks for posting the Publix corporate coupon policy that your mom got via email. I haven't had any trouble so far, but if I ever do, I'll bring a copy.
  • Jenny
    I have a coupon for a Buy one get one free Oust air freshener. If it is BOGO in the stores one of these days, and I use the coupon, does that mean I get both free?
  • Jenny
    Aymie,
    For Publix if you live in Florida they will both be free. For drugstores in any state they would both be free.
  • Elizabeth
    Quick question---our store has Pepsi 2 ltr. products (including Diet Dr. Pepper) on sale, B1G1 and I also have a manu. coupon for B2G1 free....so if I buy 2 do i actually get 3 free? If so, that seems like a pretty good deal, 5/$3.28. Thoughts?

    Also, if I have a .75 coupon for this week's B1G1 Kellogg Fiber bars, and they're $3.19 regularly, when my coupon is doubled (its barcode is starts w/ 5), it would be .10 right? That wasn't reflected in the original message at the top, but I'm assuming that's because every store's coupon doubling policy is different? My store doubles up to .99. TY for your help
  • Jenny
    Elizabeth,
    You have a Publix that doubles up to .99 cents!! I haven't heard of one of those. You are a lucky person. You are right on your math for the Kellogg's bars if that is what your store does. With the B2G1 coupon... since your store doubles my guess is that you are not in FL so your B1G1 items aren't really free but half price. Meaning that you will buy 3 and your total cost will be 3 for the reg.price of 1 (pay half price for 2 and get 1 for free)
  • Just got back from Publix. PSYCHED! Spent $103.60. Saved $118.04!!! I saved more than I spent!! We got soooo many things we will not have to go grocery shopping for at least 2 weeks!!! I wish I could show you my receipt!!! That was including steaks, ground beef, pork ribs, paper towels, charcoal, a few cereals, multiple produce items, etc. The kicker for me and the "wow" factor that finally set in was that I got 4 Coffee Mate refrigerated creamers for $.16 a piece!!!!! I know most of you do those sorts of things all the time, but I have only been doing this for about 3 weeks, and have only the coupons from 2 Sunday's papers, competitors, and online.
    I am HOOKED.
    Thank you so much Jenny.
    I will NEVER go back!!!
    Ps- Paige, I saw those items on the weekly ad. Check it out, theres also a few deals they did not add to it like Ore Ida potatoes.
  • paige
    Just got back from publix spent $35 and saved $69!!!! I was wondering if it was just me but I saw lots of bogo that was unadvertised? like swiss pudding and nutrgrain bars I saw others but did not have a pen 2 right them down.
  • Lindsay
    my mom had a similar experience at publix when they told her they didn't except ip over $1 so she email corporate and this is their coupon policy.


    Thank you for your email. We appreciate our customers taking the time to contact us.

    We will always comply with all rules and regulations that are printed on a coupon.

    If a product is on a Buy One and Get One Free promotion you can use one manufacturer's coupon on each item.

    If a product is purchased with a Buy One and Get One Free manufacturer coupon no other manufacturer's coupon can be used on the same item.

    There is a limit of one Manufacturer's coupon and one Publix coupon per item if no limit is mentioned.

    Publix will accept "cents off" Internet Coupons for $5.00 or less. We will accept "free product" Internet coupons for $5.00 or less. We also reserve the right to reject any Internet coupon that does not appear to be legitimate or does not scan properly. Internet coupons valued over $5.00 should be approved by a Manager or Customer Service Team Leader.

    In the Atlanta division, we will double manufacturer coupons up to .50 cents.

    Also, we accept traditional supermarket competitor coupons. Please see your store manager for more details, as there is no written policy on this.

    Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us. If we can be of any further assistance regarding this matter, please either call our Consumer Relations toll-free number at 1-800-242-1227, write us at the Publix Super Markets Corporate Office, PO Box 407, Lakeland, FL 33802, ATTN: Consumer Relations, or contact us at our website, publix.com and mention your reference number, # 609702.

    Shelley. Ebay is a great place to buy coupons. Often times you can buy 10 for $1. I'm new to couponing too. The first few months are kinda difficult. I'm hoping that things will get easier once I have my first stockpile. Life cereal is my favorite for breakfast and snacks. The trick is to buy enough cereal on sale til the next time that it's on sale. I've heard that some people no longer buy their favorite they buy what's on sale.
  • Amy B.
    Had a very strange experience today. The cashier wanted to ring up each coupon with each item and when we got to the Knox and Goodlife she would not allow me to use the coupon because it would give overage. She said I could go pick up more of those items to bring it above the total of the coupon (ie 4 Knox packs or 2 Goodlife Bags) I asked her to just take both off my bill. I casually asked why they can't redeem the coupon if they get reimbursed for it anyway and she said that "Publix" gets reimbursed but not the individual store so that store would "lose" 75 cents for each bag.

    Also, I found a tearpad for Free Milk WYB 2 Packs of Oreos. It clearly states Manufacturer coupon on the top, but has an LU# at the bottom. What's going on at Publix these days?!
  • shelley
    I am new and I was just wondering where everyone gets their coupons. i have been printing the limit of two, I buy the Sunday paper, but there are so many I don't use. I was just wondering. thanks.
  • I just saw on Publix's website, that for this week only, if you buy participating products, you will get Publix's version for FREE!!!! I think every store varies so check it out! I think a few were Guldens mustard, Ragu sauce and Kraft BBQ sauce!
  • amy
    I just got off the phone with store manager. NEW, AS OF THIS WEEK...my Publix at snow hill in TN just said that they HAVE to now follow the instructions of manufacturer’s coupon, Publix coupon, and/or competitors coupon...i.e....THE PUBLIX SPRING SAVINGS ADVANTAGE BUY COUPON FOR NATURE'S OWN MUFFIN'S SAYS CANNOT BE USED WITH ANY OTHER COUPON (IN FINE PRINT) SO IN OTHER WORDS NO STACKING AT SNOW HILL!!she said if it does not say that you cannot use another coupon with that one coupon then they will stack....but good luck finding two different coupons that say cannot combine with another coupon!! whatever..OH she said we have to give the coupon with the item we are using it with as we check out!!! ahhhh...forget it..I will stick with BI-LO,,=)

    Hey, I've been lurking here for a few months, but I think this is the first time I thought of a deal to share with everyone: Last night and today I bought 2 Fresh Express Bagged Salad for $5, used two Publix coupons from the Yellow Advantage Flyer (each for $1 off 1 Fresh Express Bagged Salad), and I also used the $2 off $5 Fresh Produce Food Lion printable. It made each bagged salad only 50cents!
    Later today I hope to try to buy 1lb of Chicken tenders from the deli and use the $2off $5 Deli/Bakery Food Lion coupon AND the Publix coupon for $2 off any purchase of 1lb of Chicken tenders or wings from the deli WHEN YOU BUY a Coke 8pk of 12oz bottles. Not sure what the final price will be but I'm going to try it. Hope it works. Oh and of course I plan to pick up more bagged salads for 50 cent each!
  • Letha
    Get a 1 1/2 to 2 inch binder. Buy some baseball protector sheets (near the baseball section of Walmart- cheap for a huge pack). I also bought page separators but I havent needed to use them yet as I just started as well and I seem to keep it pretty organized. Hope this helps and good luck!
  • To add to Lana's comment about the muffin mix coupons on the back of the Frosted Cheerios, if you buy 2 boxes you can use your buy 2 BC products, get a free shopping bag Q.
  • Amy
    Letha, I bought a small photo album w/4x6 pocket sheets for only $3 to organize my coupons in. But I know a lot of people have made notebooks with trading card pocket protectors too. Hope that helps.
  • Hannah
    I went to Publix last night and spent $48 and saved $89!!! Thanks Jenny!!! Our church is having a food drive this weekend and I used the overages from the Knox gelatin to purchase lots of Uncle Ben's. :-)
