Hi Everyone! It’s Liza’s friend, Kelly. As you probably read last week, Liza is away and I’ve been filling in for her while she’s been gone. I have to tell you, this is a BIG job and I have a whole new respect for what she does. She really makes my shopping trip so much easier to plan, saving me a ton of time each week and a ton of money! I happen to be a big “copycat” every week and am always excited to see what Liza will do each week at Publix with her coupons. I usually purchase most of the items from her Show and Tell each week. This week, I don’t have her post to look at. I am responsible for it instead. Yikes! That said, I did my best to make Liza proud and to help you all with your trip as well. š
The items I purchased today coincide with this weekās Publix Weekly ad.Ā To see this weekās ad & coupon matchups, go HERE.
If you are new to saving money at Publix, read my Intro to Publix post!
**Disclaimer**
1)Ā My Publix allows us to use more than one of the same Publix store coupon and/or competitor coupon as long as I use one store or competitor coupon per item.Ā Not all Publix locations allow this.Ā You should ask customer service if they allow this before loading up your cart.
2) Not all Publix locations allow overage.Ā If your Publix does not allow overage, they will usually adjust the value of the coupon down so that you receive the item for free.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Hereās a little bit about me so you can know whoās behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
Ugh, my cashier told me today that the $1.50/2 Kraft coupons weren’t store coupons and wouldn’t let me use them!
I noticed that the last time I printed coupons from the Cooking with Kraft site. Are the Publix coupons going to change? I love when I see a L.U. # on the coupon. So disappointed with that. I could have scored BIG, now I think twice about the deal.
I just printed it out and it says RETAILER coupon but there is no L.U. number so I guess it’s up to the store. Hate when that happens. I have been there!
Oh well, I have to go back anyway for the Purdue. But I did save $67.35 and spent $65.44. I would have saved more but I bought some BOGO stuff without coupons for my SO.
That’s awesome! I am always happy if I can save what I spend. Great job!
Great job Kelly. I too love to copy her photo show and tell as best I can. I always wait and shop on Saturday after I have had time to match up my coupons. I like that it is a day early it will give me a little more prep time. I can’t wait to see how I do this week. Thanks!!
Kelly – Awesome job! I am sure you more than did Liza proud! And I love that you have the post up today, as I too take a lot of what Liza purchases and get the same items. š And this time I will be grabbing a lot of what you got!
Thanks for the post!
Nicely done, Kelly! Jewel & Dom’s doesn’t have great sales like Publix does, but you are just as much as an inspiration as Liza! Great job!
So impressive Kelly!!
kraft shredded cheese I got for free; used publix coupon,there is a Target coupon for $1.50/2,then there is a manufacturer coupon for $1.00/2.Publix sale 2 for $4.00. I also got at publix is Kraft salad dressing BOGO,and I had a Target coupon for Buy 2 get 1 free,so I bought 1 bottle for $3.19 and got 3 bottles for free. LOVE THOSE DEALS!!!!!!
Wow, that’s impressive! I went online to the Kotex website and if you sign-up and complete 3 “dares” (which are super easy to do) then you get a coupon for $1.50/2 Kotex products. Combined with the Publix Gasparilla coupons, I got 2 boxes of Kotex pads for 0.20 each!
Also, Winn Dixie had a $5.00 off your purchase of $30 or more that I used. I got all my stuff for 0.10! Best trip yet thanks to this site (and one or 2 others) š Thanks!
Albertsons also had the $4 off 4 for betty crocker/GM stuff.
ooo thanks for the tip! I forgot about that coupon in the albertson’s ad!
UGH!!! I want this coupon sooo bad! The closest Albertson’s to me is an hour away so I don’t get their Ads. š
…I even looked to see if they had a printable coupon online. But of course they don’t. š
doesnt the new yell adv have a b1g1 for the trident?? so you would be able to get them free? I’ll have to look into that one more…
Iheartpublix has the new yellow adv deals and list the trident as
B1G1 Trident Vitality 9 ct Yell Adv
-B1G1 Trident Gum 3/6/2011 SS Insert (exp 4/30/2011)

Wow! You did an awesome job! I see a couple deals there I’m going to try to copy from you now. Thanks!
Peppridge Farm 3 layer cake is Bogo at publix this week paired w/2 .55 cents off coupons total is 3.23 or 1.62 each!!!
Hi Kelly!! Awesome! I just got back from Publix and had around a 50% savings. I need to “copycat” you!
I am new to couponing…started this week. I went to my local (Brandon) Publix yetsterday for just a few things to test the waters. I had 4 manufacturer coupons each for $.50/1 Palmolive dish soap and the sale was for 2 for $4. I thought because you can double manufacturer coupons and I was purchasing 4 items I could use all 4 coupons (2 on each item). I was only allowed to use 2 coupons total and I don’t understand why. They had an explanation and I am not upset just confused. When are you able to use multiples of the same coupon? Is it only on the BOGO that you can really stock up and save? There is a “couponing class” at a church in my neighborhood on the 1st of April, but I would like some clarification by this weekend to take advantage of some sales. Thanks!
Hi Terra, Publix will allow you to use one manufacturer coupon per item AND one Publix store coupon on each item. So if you had a Publix coupon (for example, out of the yellow ad or green ad flyer in the lobby) for the Palmolive you could use four total coupons when you buy four; two manufacturer total AND two of those Publix coupons. Publix coupons can be found at the store usually in either a booklet or the Yellow or Green Advantage Flyer and they have an L.U.# on the coupon. (That’s the code the cashier uses to type into the computer to give you the discount). If your store accepts Target store coupons, you could use a Target coupon on the Palmolive AND one manufacturer coupon. Does that make sense? I know that getting started can be a bit confusing. Liza has posted an Intro to Publix to help you better understand how to use coupons there. Here is the link https://www.addictedtosaving.com/3-intro-to-publix/. If you still have questions or need more clarification, feel free to email me at [email protected]. Thanks, Kelly
I’m sorry…I said I was getting 4 items. I only bought 2 dish soaps and I wanted to use 2 coupons per item.
Terra,
You can only use 1 man. coupon for one item. If you had a STORE coupon and a manufacturer coupon you can use both of those for one item.
If you live in Brandon you better be prepared to shop at 8am thursday morning or find out when the truck comes in at your store. We have tons of couponers in this area and everything on sale is gone VERY quickly.
Good Luck, you will get the hang of it and love it! This site and I heart Publix are the best.
Thanks! The lightbulb finally came on. I knew it would. I am still going to attend that local seminar I heard they sell goodies to get you started. That stinks that the good stuff gets wiped out! I can only go in the evenings or weekends when my husband is home. We have 4 month old twins and I don’t think I could handle a shopping trip with them especially trying to stick to a list and sort coupons.
agree with what Michelle said..So irritating when everything is gone. I always go at the end of the sale cycle b/c I just can’t seem to move my shopping days around..and all the good stuff is usually gone and I have to get a raincheck! š
Just reading through some of the replies. Publix told me today that that you CAN NOT stack a target with a publix and manufacturer. I asked to see a manager and they called district and said that was correct. I have been doing it forever and was not happy to hear that. Apparently you can only use ONE store (either publix or target) and a manufacturer at a time. Not all 3. I told them they need to make it consistent b/c one cashier is different from the next. Very frustrating.
