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!!!

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.

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”.

Yes I am in FL.
Thanks so much for the info! It couldnt hurt to try! Thanks again! This is so addicting and fun!

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.

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??

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,

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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?

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!!
