Publix 3/4 (Maureen) – $0.74 Profit on $68.99 in Merchandise (101% Saved)

February 5, 2021 by Maureen

I shopped Sunday and wasn’t going to post the trip because the printables are long gone and the sale week is almost over, but I decided to share it because it’s probably going to be my last Publix (barring a coupon miracle) using a Winn Dixie $5/$40 coupon. Those of you who completed the Winn Dixie register-receipt surveys to get a printable $5/$40 coupon that could be used at Publix have no doubt become aware that the coupon is no longer printable but can only be activated as a Winn Dixie digital coupon. Unless Winn Dixie reverts to the printable version, I will no longer have those to use at Publix. Sad times for us (but Publix will want to throw a parade).

Nevertheless, life goes on. I’ll miss the extra savings, but it’ll be easier to shop now that I will no longer feel compelled to organize my shopping into $40 transactions.

As always, cashback rebates vary (in kind and value) by account. Some cashback offers I used may no longer be available to activate and some printable coupons may no longer be available to print when you read this post.

Publix 4/12 (Maureen) – $1.50 Profit on $135.26 in Merchandise (101.1% Saved)

January 12, 2021 by Maureen

I had a great trip to Publix today. Publix has a promotion to get a $10 Publix gift card when you spend $30 on qualifying P&G products. I bought the Pantene because we have a matching Publix coupon in the current purple flyer, the Pantene products qualify for the Publix Stocking Spree Rebate program, and we have high-value manufacturer coupons from the 4/1 P&G Brandsaver Sunday coupon booklet.

I wrote a post about the Publix Stocking Spree Rebate program HERE. Basically, you upload receipts for qualifying products and get a $10 Publix gift card every time you reach $50 (limit 12 per household per calendar year). This equals 20% back on the sale price (coupons don’t count against you). The Pantene and Heinz Ketchup qualify.

I also took advantage of a coupon in the current Target weekly ad to get a $5 gift card for spending $15 on household cleaning products. I went to a Publix that accepts Target as a competitor in order to use this coupon. Publix has a great sale right now for their “Spring Cleaning” promotion, and we have terrific printable coupons, so the combination was irresistible. An extra $5 discount is factored into the final tally for the trip for the Target coupon.

I got a number of other great deals that you can see below.

As always, cashback offers vary (in kind and value) by account. Some of the cashback offers I used may no longer be available to activate, and some of the printable coupons I used may no longer be available to print by the time you read this post.

I had $48.61 in Heinz and Pantene purchases (pre-coupon). Both products qualify for the Publix Stocking Spree program to earn a $10 Publix gift card for every $50 spent on listed products, which is 20% back. I will earn $9.72 of my next $10 Publix gift card from today’s purchases, so I am including an additional $9.72 discount in the final for the trip.

4/13 Update: Stocking Spree took off $10 from the Pantene purchase price because of the auto-deduction for spending $30 on qualifying products, so I got credit for $38.61, not $48.61 for the receipt. I had $37 in Pantene going by shelf price, but the $10 autodeduction lowered the credit value for Stocking Spree to $27. That means my extra deduction for the trip is $7.72, not $9.72. I am adjusting the totals for the trip.

Publix 1/4 (Maureen) – Paid $0.15 for $130.33 in Merchandise (99.9% Saved)

January 4, 2021 by Maureen

I had a fantastic trip to Publix today. I went to a Publix that accepts Target coupons because I wanted to take advantage of the big $10/$40 household products coupon in Sunday’s Target ad. I also wanted to use a $10/$50 gas card coupon in the current Publix ad. I was able to use both coupons in one order because Publix allows one competitor total-order coupon and one Publix total-order coupon. The coupons have to be satisfied separately, so I needed $40 in household products for the Target coupon and $50 in other groceries plus a $50 gas card for the Publix coupon. I consider the gas card coupon to be a discount on the groceries since I need to buy gas anyways, so the two coupons together gave me an additional $20 off the individual discounts listed below.

Ghosts of Coupon Deals Past: Almost FREE Turkeys at Publix ($1.44 each!) #TBT (NOV 2014!)

January 1, 2021 by Steve

With things slowing down now that Christmas is nearly here, I decided to help fill the day with some posts to reminisce on coupon deals past. Isn’t that what the holidays are about…memories? Also, make sure you claim your FREE 3-pack of Olay Samples if you haven’t done so yet either. Finally, don’t forget about the FREE 8×10 Photo Enlargement ($3.99 value) at Walgreens.com through 12/25! Merry Christmas!

This is a Publix trip from November 2014. Remember when they’d have great overlapping promotions and we could get whole turkeys for nearly free? In this trip, I paid $2.87 total for everything, which meant I picked up the two turkeys for $1.44 each and got the tea bags and V8 for free. Gosh I miss those days. The trip as originally written is listed below. Obviously, the links to coupons aren’t any good; these coupons are from years ago 😉

We had a great trip to Publix this morning! One nice thing about shopping early was having the choice of turkeys. We actually chose smaller ones so that we aren’t making a commitment to eating turkey all week when we make one, plus they fit nicely in the freezer 🙂

The Lipton bottled teas aren’t pictured, because we were thirsty! FYI – The coupon beeps on the bottled teas, but there are no issues on the boxes. We used a $5 off $30 Winn-Dixie competitor coupon on our order, so there’s an extra $5 of savings beyond what is listed with the items below. Here’s what we bought, along with the coupons used:

SIX V8 100% VEGETABLE JUICE 46 OZ, on sale BOGO $2.83
Used six $1.50/1 V8 100% Juice 46 oz Publix store coupons, Best Meals Happen at Home Newsletter (exp 11/13!)

Ghosts of Coupon Deals Past! Maureen’s October 2017 Publix Trip – $174 of stuff for FREE + PROFIT! #TBT

January 1, 2021 by Maureen

This is a great trip that Maureen (a member of our team) had back in October 2017. She went to Publix and took almost $175 of their stuff…and she was paid to do it! Obviously, this trip is ancient, so none of the coupons are still available today, but I thought you would like to have a glimpse at what a pleasure shopping at Publix used to be previously. Enjoy!

I shopped the new Publix ad Friday night and took advantage of the $10/$50 gas card coupon found in the weekly ad (valid through Sunday). To use this coupon, you buy $50 in groceries and a $50 gas card of your choice. The $10/$50 coupon will take $10 off the top, then you apply whatever other coupons you have. I had $100 in groceries, so my store allowed me to get two $50 gas cards and use two $10/$50 coupons in a single transaction. Since I have to buy gas anyway, I consider the gas card deal to be a discount on the groceries rather than on the gas. An extra $20 discount is factored into the final tally for this trip.

I was quite happy with the deals in the weekly ad. It’s often the case that when we have a gas card coupon, the ad is a bit weak. Every now and then, we get the gas card with a decent ad and/or on a weekend when we get a new green or purple flyer. This week, we have both. Be sure to check your printables for the Smithfield and Crave dog food coupons. They were available recently (the Smithfield was available a few days ago) or within the last three weeks (Crave). If you haven’t used your digital coupon for a free Publix Premium Pancake mix, there is a maple syrup and pancake mix deal you won’t want to miss.

I’ll be going back Sunday to use another gas card coupon with the new deals in the purple health & beauty flyer that starts on Saturday, October 7. I’ll be getting Robitussin, Advil, Crave wet cat food, and Maybelline. You can see a preview of the new purple flyer match-ups HERE. I am waiting until Sunday because I hope my ibotta rebates reset by then. Freebies, cheapies, and moneymakers are your best friends during gas card weeks because they help you to reach $50 in groceries, which means the $10 discount covers more of the cost of items that have higher post-coupon costs.

As always, ibotta cashback offers vary by account (both the offers and the values), and some SavingStar offers may no longer be available to activate.

Publix 2/1 (Maureen) – Paid $0.39 for $249 in Merchandise (99.8% Saved)

February 1, 2018 by Maureen

I told Steve the other day that I would probably only run into Publix for the Arla cream cheese and a package of Quilted Northern. Wasn’t I wrong! As it turns out, my father just got a new credit card because it pays a $150 bonus if you put $500 on the card in the first three months, so on his behalf, I took advantage of the gas card coupon in this week’s Publix ad. The coupon is for $10 off a $50 gas card when you spend $50 in groceries. The stores in my area allow customers to get a gas card for every $50 in groceries in a single transaction, so I am able to get three gas cards in one trip if I start out with $150 in purchases. I consider the gas card deal to be a discount on the groceries since we all need to buy gas anyway, so an extra $30 discount is factored into the trip tally in addition to the individual discounts listed below.

The Huggies deal was made sweeter by an unexpected price cut on the Snug & Dry diapers (they are now $8.99, down from $9.49 just a couple weeks ago). Add in the $9 off 3 sale price, the $2/1 manufacturer’s printables, and the $2/1 Publix coupon, and I have more diapers for my niece (due in April) for only $1.99 per jumbo pack!

As always, cashback offers vary (in kind and value) by account. Some of the coupons (printable and digital) I used may no longer be available when you read this, and some cashback offers may no longer be available to activate.

Publix 8/22 (Steve) – Paid $3.63 for $81.99 of Merchandise (95.6% Saved)

August 22, 2017 by Steve

I had a great trip to Publix tonight. I was finally able to use my Sweet Earth BOGO rainchecks, plus I picked up lots of other great deals too. I used a $5 off $40 Winn-Dixie competitor coupon. (To get this coupon, buy anything over at Winn-Dixie; then take the survey mentioned at the bottom of the receipt and you will be given the opportunity to print the $5 off coupon at the end.)

Note that this trip is for the sale that ends on 8/23 for most of our folks in Florida. Many of the rest of you had this ad end tonight. I would’ve shopped earlier, but it’s been very busy around here lately. I’m preparing to move in about six weeks, but I’ll be sharing more about that with you all later.

Publix 7/22 and 7/23 (Maureen) – $4.80 Profit on $127.75 in Merchandise (103.8% Saved)

July 23, 2017 by Maureen

I shopped the new Publix ad twice and combined them in the following breakdown. I waited until Saturday for the new green grocery flyer coupons (the DelMonte fruit cup coupon, in particular). I was really hoping to find the Scrubbing Bubbles at price cut, but my store had them for regular price. I also couldn’t find the Knorr’s Selects, but I understand they are in next week’s ad, so I hope they are in the stores soon. My Publix stores all accept Winn Dixie coupons, so I used a $5/$40 total-order coupon on each transaction. Information about this coupon is on every Winn Dixie register receipt. An extra $10 discount is factored into the final tally below.

I shopped the new ad at Publix today. There weren’t many deals I wanted, but the Rachael Ray pet food deals are great if you have a pet or donate pet foods. I was unable to find the lime-cilantro Rice-a-Roni in the two stores I checked, and since there was no shelf tag for this item in either store, I have to conclude Publix simply has not started to carry that variety in my district. The Apple & Eve Quenchers are oddly inexpensive ($1.19, no sale tag, used to be $2.99), which makes me wonder if they are about to be discontinued. I am curious to try the Suddenly Grain salads, and I LOVE Arnold Buttermilk bread (I tried it with a digital coupon for a free loaf a few weeks ago), so I was happy to see it included in the BOGO sale. Neutrogena products are $2 off the entire product line, so if you have more $3/1 any Neutrogena coupons (no longer available to print), this is the time to use them. I did not find any Neutrogena cosmetics at my Publix. And take note that the Summer Grilling, Be the Best You, and Summer Hurricane coupons are going to expire in a few days (7/16).

I used a $10/$50 gas card coupon that is in the ad. To use this coupon, you buy $50 in groceries and a $50 gas card and apply the $10/$50 coupon to the order. I consider the $10 off to be a discount on groceries since I will have to buy gas anyway, so an extra $10 discount is factored into the total for the transaction.
