What is the penny/mystery item? The following information is from the Publix FAQ.

Q: What is the Publix Penny Item/Mystery Item?
A: Publix offers a different mystery item for a penny Sunday and Monday of each week in certain states: Alabama, most of Georgia and Tennessee, and South Carolina, but not in Florida. Some examples of previous penny items are oatmeal, bleach, crackers, milk, hot dogs, 2-liter soda, juice, cereal, chips, paper towels, and toilet paper. Sometimes Publix brand, sometimes name brand.

To claim the item, you need to come in on Sunday or Monday with the penny item coupon from the Sunday paper and to spend a minimum of $10 on your shopping order (excluding alcohol, money orders, postage stamps, gift cards, and prescriptions). The $10 figure is calculated before your other coupons. The item rings up at regular price then the coupon subtracts all but a penny of the price. The coupon usually states "Limit one deal per coupon per customer".

The coupon is not always in the same location in the newspaper. Sometimes it is in a regular Publix ad insert, but sometimes it is on a full-page Publix ad somewhere within the paper. The actual items are generally either in a bin near the front of the store or a sign is posted on the door/registers. The item for a given week is usually the same in all areas so members post the penny item in this thread. If a store runs out of the particular item, they will make a substitution.

Same here! They had the salted ones in a big basket up front, but I got the unsalted ones off of the shelf.

Made a late run 9pm'ish and it was 1/2 gal any Publix milk at my Towne Lake store. Maybe they ran out of saltines, the deduction on the receipt said saltines. O.K. by me, milk was on my list and made me so much happier.
