Do you know?

Do you know that Publix accepts competitor coupons? Yep, they sure do. In my area (Lakeland, Florida), Publix will accept only Sweetbay, Aldi (new in our area) and Winn-Dixie. If you have a SuperTarget or any other grocery store in your area Publix will take their Qs (coupons). For example, I just went to Winn-Dixie the other day and got some groceries. The Catalina spit out a Q $10/75 purchase. Well, I will be taking that to Publix this week and using it for my bigger purchases. Another thing that you need to know is that you ALWAYS give the cashier the coupon before you give them all your other coupons. Did you also know that the Qs you get in the mail from Winn-Dixie and others or even that are off the flier that is sent in the mail can be used? It Can!!

P.S. Aldi does not accept any Qs. I read up on it and they don't. They have however sent out just recently a Q of their own for $/$$ to get in the store to try it out. I have been there and looked around. To tell you the truth there were a few things in there that were reasonably priced. I didn't feel like it would be a place for me to go but only once in a while. No Qs accepted?? I will stick to Publix. The hours are from 9am to 8pm. Not my kind of hours either. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to respond.

~Publix Coupon Reminder~

Besides clipping Qs (coupons) from the newspaper, always be aware when you are in any grocery store to look for peelies, brochures and flyers. If it is a manufacturer Q, it can be used almost anywhere. If it a Publix Q, and you have a manuf. Q for the same item, you can use both. Remember also that Publix will allow the use of (1) Q per item even if it is a BOGO item. Example: Del Monte Green Beans $1.29 Bogo

You have these Qs:

(1) $.40 off 1

(1) $.40 off 1

You will buy 2 cans for $1.29 - $.40-$.40= $.40 for 2

Even though you are getting 2nd can for free, you can use a coupon for it.
