HAPPY DANCE We Got Our First Publix!!!

I'm not new to couponing, by any means, but this is the first Publix I've ever seen IRL, and it's REAL close to my house! WOOT!

So, any tips for a first-time Publix shopper?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Publix !!! (well .. now that I'm in Georgia where they double coupons)

Here's some things that you might want to keep in mind, but YMMV depending on the store. (so double check YOUR store)
  • B1G1 (only have to get 1) AND you can use 2 coupons for EXTRA savings if you buy 2
  • You can use manuf. AND Publix coupons AND they accept competitors coupons (Target, etc)
  • They have GREAT Publix coupon books (located at the front of the store) that will be posted as people spot them in the Publix forum.
  • Always ask for rainchecks (in my store they don't write an expiration date) so I can always gather up more coupons if needed.
That's all that I can think of for now, but can almost say without a doubt that Publix is my FAV grocery store to shop at. VERY friendly and VERY clean and I save LOTS of $$ !!

Congratulations! I loved my Publix in my old town.

I would call the manager and ask them their policy on coupon usage (i.e. 2 coupons with BOGO sales, combining store coupons and manuf. coupons). Corporate has a policy, but I have found that different stores enforce rules differently, so finding out what your store does will save lots of hassle at the checkouts.

And definitely ask for rainchecks! They are great about giving them!

Congratulations on the Publix. But, the aforementioned are a YMMV thing. I would call the store manager and ask. Here we can't use a Publix and manu. The pharmacy doesn't use competitors coupons. And the store front only accepts competitors if it is printed on their paper. No Target coupons here.

Our first one just opened yesterday and I'm so excited! It's a little bit out of the way but worth it for me! Some great grand opening deals too! I'm going today hopefully. You're not located in TN are you??

Hi Pleasant!! How fun to "see" you here! Have you been to Publix yet? I'm going this afternoon. It's so funny to watch everyone (including me) get so excited over a grocery store!
