For the pasta I printed 2, but for the Nature Valley coupon I printed 2 and then made a copy so I would have four. Is it just that you can’t photocopy or is it that you can only print once? Thanks!

If you go to the Publix Customer service desk they will give you a Upromise key card just to use for this.

Cumming, GA Exit 17
Has anyone used the $4 of General Mills products more than once in a transaction?
I have gone 3 times this week but only used it to buy 4 items. Today is my final trip and would like to use it to get a few items that are not on sale for savings.

I saw that you mentioned Upromise coupons in the publix deals this week for glass cleaner. My Publix doesn’t have store cards (Central FL) so how do you use Upromise without a store card? I thought that’s how it worked.

Did you print multiple coupons from the computer or did you print one of each and make copies?

Is that Gainesville, Georgia or Florida?

I printed from coupons.com for .40 off nature valley granola bars to use with the 4 for $10 in conjunction with the in store $4 off coupon. I also printed from the link listed for .55 off mueller’s whole grain pasta which was buy one get one free. I printed two coupons for the pasta since you can use one on each box and four for the granola bars to use for each box purchased. Can you only use one printable per purchase but with coupons out of the Sunday paper you can use as many as you have clipped since they are originals?? Thanks for any advice! I don’t want to be attempting something dishonest, but I do want to get the best deal!

what coupons and how exactly did you print them??

By: Lori

Lori — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:02:29 +0000

Help! I’m new to this, and I was so excited to get some great deals, so I printed enough coupons to have for each item in the buy one get one free sale I was interested in. At the register, the cashier informed me that the numbers on the coupons were the same, so I could only use one coupon! I was sooo embarrassed. Did I do this wrong? Are they just cracking down on couponers? =)

Thank you !!! I mainly wanted to know because I have a very good store coupon and I wanted to stack as much as possible to maximize my savings. ;o)

Just because your cashier didn’t check the fine print doesn’t mean you should use it!!!

This was at the Kennesaw, GA Publix on Barrett Parkway for anyone else looking for last minute deals!

I finally went out shopping today. I took 10 of the Meuller coupons with me. It actually rang up as 65 cents per box, so after my 55 cent coupon per item, I only paid $1 for all 10 boxes. I think I’m going to go back with some more coupons, and then donate some to our food pantry at church. :) Thanks Jenny for all you do!

Cari — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:53:05 +0000

you should be able to use a manufacturer coupon+formula check together at any store that accepts them.

at publix you could even still stack a publix store coupon or a competitor store coupon on top of those :)

LOL Don’t get too jealous. I envy the Floridians for all the great coupon books you get! Most of the books are never distributed up here.

My store limits the use to 1 per customer per day. I’ve wound up having to cajole (read that “drag”) people to the store with me and still just bought mainly NV granola bars and nut clusters because they eat at least 3 boxes/wk. Other than that, we just bought enough veggies for 2 dinners and a couple of cans of beans that we needed for dinner tonight.

I as well had the same good fortune at the Lexington, S.C. Publix. I bought cookie dough, frosting, progresso broth, and yoplait yogurt. I didn’t realize the Q was intended for cereal. Some of the cashiers questioned it and some didn’t. But every manager there was honoring the General Mills Products as it stated. Never had a problem. They were all very nice. I never really shopped at publix until I started to visit this site. So glad I found it! As for customer service, Publix beats all others by far!

Tonight would have been funny, except that I hate to have issues at the register.

Yesterday, when I bought only granola bars, I asked Customer Service whether they were honoring the $4/4 q on the Green Giant. The answer was, “Yes.”

Tonight I made sure that the bags of stir fry veggies and the ones that are a mix of veggies and pasta were the correct sale items. They were. I really wanted plain veggies, but all they carried were fancier sauced mixtures. If those, these were the only two kinds they had.

When we checked out the cashier called the (different) CS person to make sure the store q was okay. That was no problem; it’s exactly what he should do if he’s not sure. But the particular CS lady, who always goes through every q to look for reasons to reject any of them if she’s called for one, decided that the .40/1 “any frozen bag 19-24 oz Green Giant vegetables” could not be used. She insisted those were dinners and not veggies, even though they are the items they have on sale as VEGETABLES, are shelved in their veggie section and NOT the dinner section, and aren’t meals. She said those were for Steamers, but the Steamers q’s specify that’s what they are for.

She finally said, “Just this one time,” and let us use them. That irked me. Even though I will argue as politely as possible if someone attempts to deny use of a legitimate q, I won’t knowingly use one for a product not covered by the wording, and I’ll readily admit that I made a mistake if I believe I have a mismatch. It really annoys me that she wouldn’t just admit she misunderstood that the veggies were veggies, or thought she was doing me a favor by allowing me to use those q’s for the wrong product.

Meh, sometimes even when you check and double check everything to make sure that checkout will run smoothly, you still get unwelcome surprises.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Publix in the Gainesville area will no longer be accepting rite aid, target, cvs, or walgreens coupons. We will only be accepting true grocery competitor coupons.For example Kroger and Foodlion. This is coming from our corporate office.

By: Mina

Mina — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:05:24 +0000

Jen, none of the Columbia area stores accept Target q’s. Only traditional grocery stores are considered competitors here. The only restriction listed on the GM/Nature Valley Publix q is that each item be OVER 5 oz. I think those single serving bowls are among the few items that don’t meet the requirements to use the q. Looks like you lucked out with that. The Harbison cashiers are usually very careful.

I just went to the Publix at Harbison and used the $4 off GM cereal on 4 of the single cereal cups that were $4. Not only that but they also let me use two $1 off of any 2 GM cereal products and I purchased one other item and only paid $0.29 for it all. They did however turn my boyfriend’s target coupons down and my boyfriend works at another publix and they are supposed to take those coupons. Oh well it’s still a great deal and ends tomorrow.
