I am a newbie. It has helped me to print out the acronyms & abbreviations used on here http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/269-post3.html and place them in my coupon binder and refer back to it when i need to.

Hi there -

Just found this board a couple weeks ago and really appreciate all the help so far! Are there sneak peeks available for Publix sales? If so, how far in advance do they usually come out? I'd love to be able to check the upcoming flyer and order my Q's ahead of time.

Does anyone know if Publix's registers will need me to have as many q's as items? Like can I go waltzing up with 4 things of shave gel and 8 q's total?

Unfortunately you need to have the same number of items as coupons :o( I've checked out at CS before and they have a code to enter so you don't have to worry about fillers. It's easier to get small fillers though, IMO. My friend eisor has gotten 1 tomato, 1 jalepeno, 1 apple, etc as fillers.

I have gotten the ramen noodle single packs before as fillers also. I think they are about .20 each.

Hi Maura, we have a couple of members that post previews, sometimes Monday, and sometimes Tuesday during the day. If those are not available, I post the link to the upcoming week's sale at 11:10 PM on Tuesday when it becomes available at the Publix site.
On Wednesday morning the whole ad is posted and I begin working on the match ups. Then the planning and deal spotting begins! :)

Not a stupid question at all. You can get them to call over a customer service manager who can override it with a code but last night, I had a handful of bananas & I just pulled them apart and paid for 6 bananas separately.
