When you say “Publix’s winter saving coupon booklet” are you referring to the “Winter Family Savings” booklet? I have not been able to find a coupon for “Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce” in any of the mentioned places (Publix, Target or Walgreens). Anyone finding a coupon off cranberry sauce?
I have looked through the coupon book 5 times and I don’t see an Ocean Spray coupon.
Do you think you are able to use a Publix 55cent off coupon on something free? I don’t think you can because the store is already giving it to you for free. If it was a Man. coupon yes or a competitor, but maybe I’m wrong.
Green thumb, make a mistake, it is for cranberry juice. Also I mean Walgreen coupon booklet, not Publix booklet. After I look at it, Walgreens booklet coupon is for 100% cranberry, so cannot be use.
Katie,
What do you mean by something that is free ? I do not get you ? Cool whip is $1.49 ? Where did you get it for free ?
If anyone can find any overage item for this week, let me know.
How much is Zantac ? Will it gives overage ?
Also, are you guys able to have overage since they change the policy ?
I found an overage item.
on http://www.clip2save.com she has a link for $1.50/2 ire Ida fries and there is also a food lion coupon awhile back, some of u like me may have printed it, save $1 on an ire Ida Fries.
But 2 micro fries $1.09 each
$2.18-$1.50(MQ)-$1(Competitior)= $.32 cents overage.
This should work as long as your Publix is still considering Food Lion a competitor. I am going now to try.
Sorry website is http://www.hip2save.com. OOpps!! It is a new site for me.
People.com has $1/1 I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter on their homepage.
Jamy, I was talking about the 2nd cool whip. You get it for free.
Philidelphia Cream Cheese will be on sale for $1.29. Use $1 Publix coupon on line with $1 MQ in Winter savings booklet to get 71cent overage!
I haven’t actually printed it yet, but doesn’t the Philly Cream Cheese coupon from online actually say MQ at the top? Or what does it say? I can see catching flack because of that, especially with all the other stuff going on lately.
I’m really excited about this week. There’s a lot of stuff that I’m just giddy about.
it says retailer coupon at the top!
Jamy, where do you get the Birdseye coupon at?
with Uncle Bens’ would it not be better to use the $0.75/1 coupon from sunday paper. That would make it $1.50/2 so each box would cost around $0.25 each.
Also I am doing the Welchs sparkling juice at Walgreens. they have for sale 2/$5 and coupon online is for $2 each, so each bottle is $0.50
I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter bogo $2.49 MQ $1/1 and Target Q $0.75/1 gives overage of $0.26
Jamy:
I can’t Belive It’s not Butter website have $1 coupon. You can print 5 or more.
There will be overage on Ritz crackers if you have 2 manufacturer coupons from Nov 8 SS and 2 Target coupons.
Green Thumb,
That won’t work since we can only use one competitor coupon per visit.You will have practically free crackers, but no overage.
I just wanted to say THANKS to all the people who are clearing out the shelves and then reselling!!Do you people really have to be that greedy?? And do you now understand why Publix is giving us all so much grief. If people continue to horde and be greedy, retailers are going to be very hard on everyone. JUST MY OPIONION
@Cara. I could not have said it any better! I went a few times to get just 2 bottles of Tylenol and they were all gone and i tried 3 different stores. so i asked a friend and she knows one of the users of this site bought 20 bottles in one trip!!! That is ridiculous. I tried to get the juice boxes and same 3 stores were all sold out the day it was posted on here about what a good deal it is. I needed 3 of them for my kids school party next week so now i will be paying full price for anther brand.
This site that Jamy so graciuosly keeps up for us is to help us not have us turn us into greedy hording jerks. and yes it is jerky of u to buy 20 of anything at one time.
if it is a good deal for u then let it b for everyone. I post links to other sites and i put when i find a good deal but i am less likely if this continues to happen.
I love the Publix at Tower Square but they no longer love me as a couponer bc they r tired of people abusing the system.
Whoever has been trying to use ridiculous competitor coupons like Office Max and Harveys at Publix has ruined the coupon experience for all of us. Keep things legit and fair for all and there should b no more issues.
Jamy Thanks so much for your site and i hope that u continue to run it. I would be less willing to spread the good news bc of a few bad people.
Jennifer,
Sometimes I also wonder should I post deals or not cos by the time I get there, things are gone, for eg. the Tyleno, hubby was sick and kid were sick and they were gone when I got there so I went to Walgreens, arrgh !
Katie,
from 11-15-09 SS & 10-18-09 SS
Rainchecks can be quite useful when sale product is out of stock. Just paperclip raincheck to Q’s and use the following week when store is fully stocked with many varieties to chose from!
It is unfortunate when a store doesn’t order enough of sale product, but I try to stay positive- I know I will still get great deal next week.
The coupon for the Breakstone’s sour cream says 24oz on it. It is the 16oz that is on sale.
Thanks Katie,
I have the 55cents peelie and it is not as good. Hopefully, they will have BOGO before the coupon expire.
About this : Sorrento Deli Style Ricotta Cheese, Whole or Part Skim Milk or Fat Free, 32-oz tub, 2/$5
Can the Publix coupon $1 + $1 blinkie be used ?
If so, that is it 50cents each pack.
no the Publix coupon is for Mozzerella cheese
you can use $3.75 off man. coupon for Rachael Ray mag. from 1/15 SS & $3.75 off Publix coupon from Winter Savings Booklet and then use 2 $1 off man. coupon for the Ricotta Cheese
Then you have a 51cent overage
I just saved $214.51 and spendt $12.34. I am really excited about that, considering we can only use 1 $5 off total purchase per day!
BTW- Jennifer, thanks for pointing out the overage on fries!
I meant 11/15 not 1/15 Jamy!
I have seen one or two posts about publix not ordering enough. Just so people know a few years ago Publix went to a total computer order system like walmart. The store personnel do not order things anymore. The computer orders it based on sales. They are also not allowed to keep much if any back stock in the back room. For sales the computer uses some type of math to predict the increased sales. So if someone goes in and wipes the shelf out in one trip it screws up the system. The computer can’t predict for that and since Publix can’t maintain back stock the staff cannot restock shelf’s. Just thought I’d let people know how it works.
Also Publix is in the business to make money so it was only a matter of time before they cracked down on competitor coupons. You just have to make multiple trips and get almost free instead of free things.
Try to remember also that no matter what you do there is always a few “bad apples” that try to take advantage of it and cause more rules to be implemented. It always happens no matter what group or organization you talk about. So try not to get stressed out about it and enjoy what we do have
Kevin
Yes, Katie, I kind of figure it out. Try to get my friend to find out if she has any. In fact, one of my gfs who sell coupons offer me to give out 10 of the Aussies shampoo coupons to my readers for this week free Aussie product at Walgreens.
I have came down with cold and also got one of my tooth extracted. Have not been the best of health, urgh !
Kevin,
One of my friends told me you can order if you want bulk order, spare the store from having empty shelf.
They will take your order (as many as you want), then you go to the customer service section to pick up your order, apparently, you can use coupons as like normal purchasing. My gf got her Mueller pasta as she did not want to empty the shelf.
Jamy
That is true. I forgot they would order things like that
Jamy – where is the “$5 off $20″ coupon from? Thanks for all you do for us!
Jennifer
That is very good to know! Thank you for sharing that about the bulk order:) Can’t wait to get a big freezer so I can do that. lol.
