Publix Coupon Policy -- It's Official!!

We’ve all been waiting on the *new* Publix Coupon Policy -- Here it is!

The policy will be officially announced this Saturday, May 14th. And does not officially go into effect until Monday, May 23rd to allow the cashiers and customers a few days to adjust to the new policy.

~Publix Coupon Policy:~
Publix will accept manufacturers’ coupons (limit one per item),
Publix coupons (originals only—no copies),
valid Internet coupons and coupons from nearby competitors identified by each Publix store (competitor names are posted at each Publix store).
We will accept coupons from competing pharmacies for prescriptions only.
We will not accept percent-off items or percent-off total order coupons.
We will only accept coupons for identical merchandise we sell.
Acceptance is subject to any restrictions on the coupon and we reserve the right to limit quantities.
Manager approval is needed for individual coupons above $5.
For a buy-one-get-one free (BOGO) offer, each item is considered a separate sale. We will accept a manufacturer’s coupon and either a Publix or a competitor coupon on the same item.
Dollars-off total order coupons will be limited to one Publix and one competitor coupon per order. The order total must be equal to or greater than the total purchase requirements indicated on the coupon(s) presented.

~ So what does it all mean? ~
Here are the Coupons Publix WILL accept:
Manufactures’ Coupons (Limit One per Item) **same as before**
Publix Store Coupons (Originals only, no copies) **same as before**
Valid Internet Coupons
Competitor Coupons Specifically Identified by each Store (there will be a list at Customer Service, and posted signs)
Competitor Pharmacies for prescriptions only {no Wags or CVS coupons accepted}
The Coupons must be used on the Identical Merchandise Publix sells
One Manufactures and One Store (either a Publix or a Competitor) coupon on the same item {this is “Stacking” **same as before**}
Dollar-off Total Order Coupons are limited to One Publix and One Competitor Coupon per order

The Coupons Publix will NOT accept:
Percent off Coupons for Items
Percent off Total Order Coupons
Walgreens or CVS Coupons (Drugstore Competitor Coupons only relate to Pharmacy Prescriptions)

Extra Info:
Manager approval is needed for individual coupons above $5 (any coupon THIS high is most likely fraudulent anyway, so we wouldn’t be using it).
Acceptance is subject to any restrictions on the coupon and they reserve the right to limit quantities…I believe this as meaning that the Green Advantage and Yellow Advantage (or any Publix store coupon for that matter) will be limited to (1) coupon per order. Not (1) coupon per item as it has been interpreted in the past.

**This is really the only change that seems to affect my personal shopping**
