Couponing at Publix - Publix Coupon Policy

Publix has one of the best coupon policies out there. Below you will find a full list of their coupon policy, but here's the summary version:

• Though each Publix store has the option of having different rules, the general rule is that Publix will accept 10 of the same coupons per transaction.
• You can use two coupons when you are purchasing a Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal. For example, Mueller's Pasta is on sale Buy 1 Get 1 Free at $1.57. You can use two $.50/1 coupons (which will double to $1.00/1) when you buy two of the pastas. You will end up making $.43 on this deal.
• If you have an overage, Publix will pay you in cash, or you can apply it to your other groceries you are purchasing in the same transaction.
• Publix will double any coupons under $.50.
• Publix will accept two coupons on one item. You can select two of the following: Manufacture's Coupon, Publix Coupon, Competitor's Coupon (Kroger, Food Lion, etc). You cannot use two Manufacturer's coupons, you cannot use two Publix coupons, you cannot use two Competitor's coupons on one item. Example: A manufacturer’s coupon can be combined with a Publix coupon or with a competitor’s coupon, but not both.

Buy One Get One Coupons

Q: I have a buy-one-get-two-free coupon from a competitor of Publix. Will Publix accept it?

A: Yes. If you’re purchasing the identical merchandise at Publix, we’ll accept BOGO and buy-one-get-two-free coupons from competitors’ stores. Dollars-Off-Total Order Coupons

Q: A competitor on a store’s approved list is offering a $5 off a $25 order coupon when I sign up to receive communications from them. Will Publix take this coupon?

A: Yes. You’ve already signed up with the competitor to receive the coupon, so now all you have to do is purchase $25 worth of groceries.

Q: Will Publix accept a competitor’s coupon that indicates I must present my retailer rewards card to use the coupon?

A: Yes. Publix doesn’t require you use a reward card, but we would be happy to honor this coupon if you meet the other purchase requirements on the coupon. Coupon Stacking

Q: Can a store coupon, competitor coupon, and manufacturer’s coupon all be used for one item?

A: No. A manufacturer’s coupon can be combined with a Publix coupon or with a competitor’s coupon, but not both.

Q: If an item already has a manufacturer’s coupon attached, will Publix still take an additional manufacturer’s coupon on the item?

A: Sorry, but no. Publix will take an additional Publix or competitor’s coupon, but we can only take one manufacturer’s coupon for an item, regardless of where the coupon came from.

Q: I have a “$1 off the purchase of two items” manufacturer’s coupon. Can another manufacturer’s coupon be used for either of these items?

A: No. When the manufacturer issues a “$1 off the purchase of two items” coupon, it requires the purchase of two items. So, because you have to purchase both items to meet the coupon’s requirements, a manufacturer’s coupon has already been applied to both items.

Q: I have a BOGO manufacturer’s coupon. Can another manufacturer’s coupon be used for either of these items?

A: No. When the manufacturer issues a BOGO coupon, it requires the purchase of two items. So, because you have to purchase both items to meet the coupon’s requirements, a manufacturer’s coupon has already been applied to both items. Gift Card Coupons

Q: Will Publix accept a competitor’s coupon for a free $5 gift card with the purchase of an item or items (e.g. a coupon for “Buy both Raid Max Bug Barriers 1 gallon Starter Kit and Refill, Receive a $5 store gift card”).

A: Yes, if we carry the identical items named on the coupon, you’ll receive a $5 Publix gift card with the required purchase. Pharmacy Coupons

Q: Does Publix accept prescription coupons from all pharmacies or only from your listed competitors?

A: Publix accepts coupons for prescriptions from all local retail pharmacies.

Rain Checks and Coupons

Q: What if I have a rain check and a coupon for an item, but the coupon is now expired, though it was valid on the date the rain check was issued. Can I still use the coupon on the item?

A: Yes, Publix will accept the coupon that was valid on the date the rain check was issued. Private Label Coupons

Q: Will Publix accept a competitor’s coupon for a private label item?

A: Yes. We’re happy to accept a coupon for a competitor’s private label product because it’s a chance to introduce you to our terrific Publix brand.
