Newbie Questions for Publix Shoppers

[nrpeace17]

Yes, the Target printables are considered a Store coupon, and can be used along with a mfr. I list the Target printables with the link in the weekly sales ad in bold red print.
Winn-Dixie Q's are competitor also, and you can use them at Publix as well.
You are getting the picture .These competitor coupons really help with increasing your savings!

I asked at my Publix and they said they don't accept Target coupons. They do accept Winn-Dixie, Sweetbay, Alberston's and Kash n Karry though.

Has anyone ever tried using a catalina from Walgreens at Publix?
I have some for free milk up to $4.50. It says it's a mfg coupon redeemable @ Walgreens, but it doesn't say it's ONLY Walgreens.

I was hoping I could use it this coming week and combine it with the Nabisco cookie sale + the 75cent cpn for 2 cookies AND milk.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

My best advice to you is to ask at the Customer Service desk. It is a tricky one. Even though it is technically a mfr, since the catalina offer is through Walgreens, Publix may or may not recieve reimbursement for the catalina. They may not want to take it on a competitor basis, since Walgreens is not considered a competitor. I would only use it there if you obtain permission first.

Well I'm not sure, but I've tried this and have not had success.

I use my Walgreens catalinas only at Walgreens, personally.

Thanks! I definitely would get permission first. I just wondered if it was even worth the time to ask, if someone had already been down that route.
I guess I'll ask them when I go. The worst thing that could happen is they'll tell me no and I'll use them at Walgreens.

Thanks for the replies!

Keep in mind the handing of coupons with the products might work at Publix but won't always work elsewhere. Walmart, as an example...at least by me, will wait until the last item is rung up before scanning the coupons. Which does help prevent item mismatches (publix registers don't check for the item anyway, so it doesn't matter)...however, if the coupon beeps, then they either gotta check the receipt, or you have to dig through your cart to find the product...a real pain.

I'm going to ask my Publix service counter today about the Target coupons. I never thought about using them in there -- thanks for the idea! Hope it works. I'll let you know later.

I've been shopping at Publix for quite some time now and have been using competitor coupons there without a problem. Today, I went in to use the Food Lion coupons for $2 off coke 12 pack and was told that I couldn't use it. They said their policy is that they will only accept competitor coupons if they are under $1 in value. I've never heard this "rule" and they have always taken Winn Dixie and Food Lion coupons without a problem before.

They won't accept Target, Walgreens or CVS, but they have always taken other grocery stores, regardless of the value. Anyone know anything about this?
