Publix: $4 off any GM item coupon scenarios

[blakersmomma]

I went back to my local Publix today (had fliers at the registers that the coupon is for cereal only). Tried to buy two Cheerios and two Nature Valley Nut Clusters. No go, CEREAL only. I asked to speak to a mgr., was told that was correct, so I asked where I could find the Nature Valley CEREAL that qualified. Told
"we don't carry that", and then told the coupon was for the Nature Valley
CEREAL BARS. I pointed out the Nature Valley bars say granola bars, NOT
cereal, and asked why the Nut Clusters didn't count too (since both are granola products). Got a big sigh from the mgr. & told they'd let me use the coupon "just this one time" even though I was buying the wrong products.

What a headache! I'd have had a fit if a manager used the word "wrong" with me when it was completely correct. Geesh.. They must not have worded this mysterious memo correctly, huh?

I still haven't tried this on products other than nature valley. I'm too afraid of conflict at the register, I guess. :sad: I'd much rather everything be painless and problem free. Stories like this really keep me from bothering!

I've used it. Quite a few times. Had it okayed for all of the products. But, I still feel a little dirty using it.

Anybody else feel a "little" dirty.

lol...I did a few of this transactions with the yogurt and biscuits they didn't blik an eye so I must say if it was meant to say CEREAL it's not my fault, now if it said it and I was using it for other things then yes I would feel dirty! I don't normally over use the Publix q's thou, so I might do a few more runs and thats it:)

Yeah, I know that none of my stores have given me a hard time about it and it was their error in omitting the word cereal, but I also know based on my receipt that they didn't intend for it to be used in this manner. I feel like I am 'getting away' with something, and Publix has always been very good to me. I probably won't do any more deals besides the cereal and NV stuff...plus I'm tired of runing around town doing multiple trips :)

I used 4 of them on Saturday. I got the NV clusters, the granola bars, Cheerios, the cookies... I asked the cashier (my favorite, because she likes to see me save money) how many I could use and she said "as many as it will let me". So, I used 4. That was all I had printed out.

I used 2 on the first day at 8am and manager wasn't too happy and told me it was suppose to be for cereal but I said it didn't say that on coupon and she let me get the stuff since already rung up & bagged .
There were 4 other people in line behind me , so guess she really didn't want to create a scene in front of everyone either.
After that , I just didn't feel right using it even though I knew it was their mistake.
I like this store and didn't really want to create problems.

I used it the first day, but not after that. I have heard the management explain it to at least three people the last few times I was at Publix though. I want to keep a good relationship with management, so I haven't even tried it again.

I work at Publix and used the coupon 20 times.....I did not tell the other employees of the deal because I didnt want the mayhem. I wanted to use them all today while at work becuase I have a feeling that come Monday morning they will not be honoring it.

For those of you still doing this deal - the Progresso Bread Crumbs are General Mills items. There was a tearpad for a mail-in-rebate (up to $3.99) for receipts dated between 9/15/09 - 4/15/10. The tearpads were right in front of the product on the shelf. It covers any size, any variety.

Good Luck.

I didn't see any listed in the DB for Totinos Pizza only Pizza rolls. Where are the coupons found? TIA

9/13 GM insert has $1/4 Totinos Pizza and $.40/2 Pizza rolls q's. The pizzas were $1.25/ea at my store, so with the mq and $4/4 Publixq, made them free.
