Publix: New Coupon Policy!! SAY IT AIN'T SO!!

[nannabownanna]

I received a call from one of my good friends concerning the NEW coupon policy at Publix.
12 coupons per customer per DAY??!!
What in the world are they thinking??
I live in Carrollton GA...is this the policy at ALL Ga stores??

Say it ain't so!!!!

That would be a bad move...

THERE IS A SIGN IN THE FRONT OF THE STORE THAT STATES THIS POLICY AND MY FRIEND WENT TO THE SERVICE DESK AND THEY CONFIRMED IT!
Please someone tell me that this is ONLY in Carrollton??

Woah, I haven't heard this yet, but I'll be keeping my ear to the ground. If this policy takes effect company wide, Publix will lose market share to Walmart for sure.
All those Publix employees that are couponers, let's hear from you!

What kind of sign is this? Something official or something the store printed up when they were angry at a few shoppers? Didn't WAGS pull something like this at a few stores at one point? I wouldn't get too excited about it being the policy everywhere just yet. It would be a stupid move for Publix.

I'm a new member and just learning but I was just out at the Villa Rica Publix and did not notice this sign there. That's not to say it's not there. I'll check tomorrow and see! I hope not. I was starting to get pretty excited about learning how to really save using coupons.

Don't let this put a damper on your excitement! This is pretty common place in the couponing world, as coupon policy changes (and rumors of) come and go. Let's just say it keeps you on your toes!

I live just a mile away from the Carrollton GA Publix and I shop there ALL the time, and IF this is the local store policy, then it will completely alter the way I shop!
I also do the triples at FL and they have a 20 coupon limit PER TRANSACTION.
That's doable but 12?? Per day??? I don't know how they expect to enforce this but it will make shopping at Publix a major pain in the behind!
This would be enough to send me to shopping at Kroger....and I hate Kroger!!

I'm a Publix cashier in the Tampa area and we received a memo yesterday that basically tells TO BE more coupon friendly. It went over the coupon policies...combine mfc with store q, okay to use on trial size if coupon doesnt restrict it, one coupon per item even on BOGO, etc. Our store WANTS you to use your coupons

Whew ! That's a relief. Thanks for sharing that. I couldn't imagine them changing their super customer service ways ! They didn't get to be #1 by making dumb marketing moves like that.
