Is your Publix still taking IPs?

[karkli]

The Asst. CS Manager at my closest Publix told me today that they recently stopped taking all IPs.

I don't know if I believe him 100% yet since I've never met this particular manager before. Also, I've been explicitly told by the other CS manager at this same location within the past month that they DO take IPs - but only for $/x, not for frees or BOGOs. But I'm about to leave to go out of town so I won't be able to experiment with different managers/stores until I get back.

So I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this recently.

If he's right and all of my local Publixes stop taking them, I'm going to be SO sad. In the LOND, IPs paired with BOGOs are what make couponing worthwhile.

Thanks.

Mine here in ATL still takes them - or at least they did Monday.

Just yesterday in Lawrenceville, GA (North East Metro-Atlanta) I used a bunch of IPs. Vlasic, Alexia, Uncle Bens, Heluva and others. The Alexia didn't scan, but my cashier still put them through. I was fully ready for them to not accept them b/c they were kind of blurry. I've also used the $2/1 Honey Bunches of Oats coupons in Duluth & Lawrenceville. I've used the $3/1 LiveActive at a Suwanee store.

The only store around here that I know has an IP policy posted is the Duluth, GA store at the corner of Buford Hwy & Old P'tree. They state they only take IPs for cents off and no frees or BOGO. But, I've heard no restrictions from any of the other 5 stores that I shop at.

yes on ips, but not for free amounts - only if they state up to x amount. This store refuses competitor q's also.

did yesterday - s.e. GA...

I'm in Cartersville GA and I emailed their corporate office to see if they had a written policy. About a week later I got a call from the store manager where I live and he said yes they take internet coupons EXCEPT for free items. It seems like it's a store by store decision.
