As you all know I have not been to Publix in a very long while. I have several trips planned for today and tomorrow but I needed to break them up for a couple reasons. I wanted to make sure that I got this deal posted because the Yellow Advantage Flyer expires today and I forgot my manufacturer coupons for the Mios so I did one transaction and came home to get the other coupons before completing the rest. Since I have been out of the loop for a while I of course went straight in and asked the customer service desk about any changes that have happened in the last couple of months since I haven’t been there. There are a few changes at my store. 1) You can’t use a Publix coupon more than once if it is not in the Yellow or Green Advantage Flyers. 2) They no longer will give cash back if your coupons are greater than your total. So this got me to thinking about how I could get around this since I am using my coupons legitimately. I will just start buying a $5 gas card if I know I am going to be in the negative so I don’t have any problems at checkout. I will let you guys know how that works the next time I have to do it. I did go into the negative on this trip but because they don’t pay out cash anymore I just had to forfeit the money but that was ok because I still walked out without paying anything. Here is what I did.
