Yes I want know how some people can buy acouple hundred dollars worth of groceries & only spend oop .01cent??? & I’m only 2months new at this couponing & I would like to get that good. I’ve read other people’s story on other sites but they don’t want to break it down for the readers, they want you to buy a book etc….So what do you think???
I would like to know that too. I never save THAT much.
I was just in my Publix yesterday and was using all my coupons like usual (manu+competitor) on some items. Well the cashier asked the manager if it was okay and she said yes but then said come January, they are getting a new coupon policy. Do you know if this is for every store? Do you think Publix is getting tired of all the coupons and going to stop allowing what they have been?
OMG this would be so horriable!
Yeah tell me about it!! What would we do??? lol. Seriously though, I am going to be sooo disappointed if they change their policies..then they’re just like everyone else! Err
I have had several managers/customer service associates tell me that there will be a new coupon policy but they were saying not until March. I don’t think they are getting tired of all the coupons, just the couponers that are abusing the system and taking advantage of them not having a policy.
In Central Florida our Publix takes BJs as a manufacturer coupon…. have heard that they will no longer be accepted, as they do not get reimbursed for them…. and everyone is using them…. don’t know about Target, but already can’t use Walgreens or CVS….. BJs coupons have lots of overage so it is very easy to get a large order for not much money…..
I have two questions:
Is there any truth to the rumors that Publix will be issuing a coupon policy in Jan?
What do you do when the customer service worker (not a manager) calls the manager to ask about stacking a “retail coupon” from kraft that says only redeemable at publix and a true Manufacture Q and tells the manager “I think it’s (refering to the “retail Coupon”) a Manufacture Q and then hangs up and tells you that you can’t stack them. I’ve asked this CS person other questions and she seems to make up the answers as she goes. I hate emailing publix HQ because I always end up getting a phone call and having to spend 15 to 20 minutes on the phone with the manager.
The retailer coupons are manufacturer coupons. They scan and read vendor oupon in our system. As long as they have a barcode, they are a MC. If they have a LU# then they are a store coupon. That’s how my store in FL handles them.
I always have problems with a BOGO sale and using a BOGO coupon. From what I’ve read and heard, if you use a BOGO coupon, it’s like the store pays for one item, and the manufacturer pays for the other. I have had various success at using them at my Publix. I get everything from, “You can’t use a BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale” even though the coupon does not state any conditions. Then, I’ve also had the mgr say I have to pay for one, but end up getting 3 more for free. What is your take on a BOGO q on a BOGO sale?
After a year of learning how to coupon, I would like to track my savings next year. How do I figure it up. If an item is on sale, do I use the sales price or the regular price. Same thing for bogo’s, do I use the sales price for two items or two full price figures. It’s kind of confusing. Do you have a special program you use? I am definitely budget minded and of course would like a free simple method.
I have a friend that lives in NYC and is out of work. Saving would be a great help. I’ve looked around and can’t find a blog to point him to that would help the folks in Manhattan. How do I help him search out a site that is as GREAT as yours?
My publix would not let me use more than one manufacturers coupon for karo syrup yesterday because they had the same number printed on them. I had 2 items and 2 coupons printed on different computers. Are they instituting a policy like my kroger has done?
I emailed you my (?) hope you received it!
Can’t wait to hear your GREAT ideas…..
I was wondering if there is anyway to get around the print limit on some Internet coupons? My store treats BOGO’s as two iteams and when I wanna stock pile sometimes I can only get a couple of coupons on sites like target and kraft.
I have heard from Publix customer service reps that a new policy will be coming next year. However they also told me that they will no longer allow internet printed coupons!! Is this true?? and when will this corporate coupon policy be released?
Will Publix be issuing a coupon calendar this year?
Does Publix accept expired Publix Store coupons?
