Newbie Questions for Publix Shoppers

[nrpeace17]

I think a conversation with the Store Manager would be a good idea.
Especially since most of the Publix stores around Fl will accept Target printables as competitor.

Can you stack publix baby club coupons with manufacturer coupons?

[nrpeace17]

The Baby Club coupon sheets are Publix Store coupons, and may be used along with manufacturer coupons :)

Does Publix price match? There's a sale at Albertson's I wanted to catch but it's 19 miles from me. Not sure if the gas would be worth the sale...especially if I can get the prices at Publix.

Thanks much!

No, they don't price match, but SWM will.

There were two fliers in my sunday paper with publix coupons. underneath in fine print is says "may not be used in conjunction with any other coupon". is this normal? I thought you could use a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon at the same time. thanks from a newbie!

Will Publix take Manuf. coupons that have another store name on them?

When I shopped at Food Lion last week some coupons printed out for baby items. It says that it's a manuf. coupons, but says redeem at Food Lion. I would like to match these with some Publix coupons that I have.

[nrpeace17]

Yes, they should accept those as mfrs. If Food Lion is in your area, Food Lion Store coupons (including FLIP's) would probably be accepted as competitor coupons as well.

If you look at the Johnson's $1 coupon in the current Sept 1st Green Advantage Buy flyer, it states right on the Publix coupon itself: "SEE ADDITIONAL SAVINGS IN SUNDAY'S SEPT. 16th PAPER." That's proof enough for me.

I was wondering the same thing beacuse I want to do the CG deal this week with my BOGO and Publix Coup..

I don't want to be the person they dread to see coming. I suggest that you find a cashier that you like and train her yourself in how to handle your order.

I have a similar system to avoid a confused cashier. I actually put my coupons in small envelopes corresponding to the item I'm buying. As I put them in the cart, I tape an envelope to 1 of the particular item. I tell the cashier before he starts ringing things up that all my coupons are taped to the items so that it's easier for him. It is actually easier for me, too, since I don't have to sift through a handful of coupons while I'm shopping - each envelope has written on it the name of the item I'm buying and it's easy to find the correct envelope and check on particulars.

This system has saved me lots of trouble. I used to hate my grocery shopping because I'd always end up in conversations with the casher about whether or not I'd bought enough of each item and it was embarrassing. Now, there's never any trouble and the people behind me aren't even aware that I'm using so many coupons.

Just make sure you tell them you want the envelopes back or they'll trash them every time. Jeez, if I'm so obviously thrifty you'd think they would assume I would want to re-use the envelopes too!
