Newbie Questions for Publix Shoppers

The confusion lies in if the recent Blinkie coupon for Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is allowed to be used on ANY J&J product or if it is to be used only on J&J First Aid products. The wording on the coupon reads "Save $3.00 Off Any TWO Johnson & Johnson Product" and while there is pictures of J&J First Aid products on the coupon and the use of the "Red Cross" J&J First Aid logo the wording and fine print of this coupon does not say that it is to be used ONLY on J&J First Aid products. I have also looked at the wording of other J&J coupons from inserts and other sources and have seen most of them, when there are exclusions about what products can or cannot be used for the coupon the coupons have all clearly spelled out any restrictions. So I am going to go ahead and say that this coupon can be used on ANY Johnson & Johnson product per the wording on the coupon. Of course if you feel otherwise that this coupon should only be used on First Aid products from the J&J line, use your own best judgment. And of course your stores may put other limits on the use of this coupon based on how THEY determine the use of this coupon. If you have questions or issues regarding the use of this coupon or if you have inadvertently been sent a warning or infraction for using this coupon on other J&J products not in the first aid line, please send me a private message. I have linked a scan of this coupon so that you may read the wording and fine print yourself and make your own determination."

Thanks for clearing this up, Cathy! It looks like a good deal to combine with the Band-Aid/Neosporin deal in the Green Advantage Buy flyer, but since the expiration date is so far off, it may be great to use for non-first aid products as well.

Hi
I'm learning such a lot from this site - it's the best by far! I want to know if this will work - I have $1/1 Manu Qs for Dove (redeemable at Publix) and I have Walgreens instant value coupons for $2.50/1 for Dove. I can't find the Publix coupon policy so do you know if Publix will accept the Walgreens coupons along with their coupons? If Pubix won't accept the coupons, do you think Walmart would accept them?

Publix will only accept the WAG if your particular store considers WAG a competitor. Most in FL don't. It would be best to ask at the CS desk.

Hey!!
Its great here isnt it!!! As far as publix goes, call the store manager and ask him about the WAGS q's. That is what I did and they said as long as its not an outrageuos amount off, then I am cool. But when I got to the register, the cashier questioned me, then she went to the CSM.. who questioned me. I told them that I had already called and what the mgr had said. good luck!!! thats good savings at my store. With Walmart, my store accepts NO competitor coupons. I have called, and emailed corp. But again, call your store.

This is your adventure, the better they know you the easier it will become.

Let them know you'll be coming their way soon.... very soon

GOOD LUCK!!!

I live in the Central Florida does anyone know if they take Food Lion coupons? Since there is no Food Lions in the area.

It will likely vary from store to store. Generally stores don't take competitor coupons unless they are nearby but there is a Publix near me that will take Food Lion (no Food Lions nearby) and Target while another Publix just a mile away does not take either (and there is a target just down the street).

Best approach is to call the store ahead of time or stop by and ask at the front desk.

Ok so I just learned that Publix takes others coupons...(I love publix.)
1. the CVS one that prints at the bottom of the reciept and the printable 5/25 can I use those? Can I use more than 1 at a time?
2.When I have a q from the inserts and a printable one to can I use those at the same time for the same items? (I have the smart ballance 1/2 from the insert and a printable 1/2)

Thanks!

You need to check with the Publix you shop at and see what competitor coupons they accept.
Most printables are manufactures coupons, so no you can't stack two manufacture coupons. You can stack a store coupon and a manufacture coupon.

Ahhh, thanks! :)

As far as the CVS coupons go, you can usually use just one of those 5/25. It depends on whether or not your Publix thinks CVS is a competitor if they will take them or not. Good luck!!
