Diagonal Line Tutorial for Photoshop
What is this tutorial about?
This is a tutorial to learn how to make diagonal lines on pictures using Photoshop CS. You could also use this tutorial in other versions of Photoshop, but the buttons and everything wouldn't be in the same spots. You can download a 30 day trail version of Photoshop at
The tools
To avoid any confusion you can see an overview of all the Photoshop tools below, including their names and numbers.
Step 1: Getting started
We're going to start off by of course opening Photoshop.
Now you need to open a new document. Go to "File > New" and make your settings match the ones you can see in the image below (except the file name, that is not important). After you've done this, press OK.
Now that you have a new document opened, you need to create a new layer, so you're not drawing on the background. To do this, go to "Layer > New > Layer" (or hit Crtl+Shift+N). You will be asked to name the layer etc, you don't need to so this, just press OK.
You will see a very tiny white square on a grey background, this is the canvas. By scrolling down you can zoom in to the canvas.
Step 2: Making a pattern
First you need to select the Pencil Tool (tool #8, it's under the Brush Tool, so press that tool with your mouse and keep holding it down till a menu appears where you can choose the Pencil Tool). Make sure your pencil is set to 1 pixel (you can see this in the top bar, it will say 1). Then draw a diagonal line, like the one shown below:
The next step is to delete the background. Right-click on your background layer in your layers pallet, and click "Delete Layer."
Your image should now look like the one below. To make your diagonal line a pattern, go to "Edit > Define Pattern". You will then be asked to name your pattern.
Step 3: Applying the pattern
Now it's time to apply your pattern to an image. First of all find yourself a nice looking image, in this tutorial we have used this image:
. Copy the image to your clipboard.
Now you need to create a new document, for our example the settings are like below. If you used an image with a different height and width your settings may be slightly different, but be sure your preset is Clipboard:
Paste your image on to your canvas.
Now create a new layer on top of your image (Ctrl+Shift+N or "Layer > New > Layer"). Go to "Edit > Fill" and make your settings match the picture below (make sure you choose your diagonal pattern for the "Custom Pattern" fill):
Click OK and your image should look like the one below. We don't want plain black lines, so we need to set the blending mode of this layer to Soft Light. You can find the blending mode in the layer menu on the bottom right side of your screen, above all of your layers. It will be set to Normal, but you should change it to Soft Light, as you can see in the image below:
This will give you the finished product, ta-da!

U.S. jobs data is supposed to provide clues on bank health. Good luck playing detective.
Nationally, unemployment and jobless-claims data has slowly improved. But the metrics vary widely from market to market and, complicating matters, many bank operations, even those of regionals, straddle strong and weak markets. That means picking winners from losers on the basis of such data is harder than it seems.
The national unemployment rate for March, to be announced Friday, is expected to be 8.9%, unchanged from February, according to a consensus of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Yet state-by-state figures, the latest of which are to be released April 19, have been, pun intended, all over the map.
Unemployment rates were higher — significantly — than the national average in February in 10 states, primarily in the West and Southeast. The Midwest and Northeast, on the other hand, have shown marked improvement.
But the situation is not so black and white as to say that those concentrated in the worst-performing states are doomed and those concentrated in better-performing areas are poised for rapid growth.
Even within each region, the unemployment picture can vary, making the timing and scope of growth in given areas difficult to pinpoint. And some banks have concentrations in more than one area of the country.
"The regionals have exposure in a wide range of markets that have different employment characteristics," said Jason O'Donnell, a banking analyst at Boenning & Scattergood Inc. "So if you look at Fifth Third, for example, those guys have material exposure in the Midwest but also in Florida. There are different trends that are impacting their credit quality overall."
Meanwhile, banks like Webster Financial Corp. that are based in the Northeast — the region where unemployment is the lowest — may also have exposure to Rhode Island, which O'Donnell calls "the black sheep" of the region. The state has the fourth-highest unemployment rate in the country.
The unemployment rate is considered a primary indicator of consumer credit loss rates. Some believe these losses overall have peaked, but that they are still a threat to banks operating in particular regions.
"Credit is an issue for the pace of improvement," said Jefferson Harralson, a managing director at KBW Inc.'s Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. "Because the Southeast region is slower economically, there are more banks in that region that credit still matters for."
Unemployment can also be a barometer for loan demand, which has been lacking so far during the recovery, said Peter Winter, a managing director at BMO Capital Markets.
"Loan demand continues to be very weak," he said. "The thinking is as the economy improves in certain markets, the balance sheet strengthens for certain borrowers, so there are more lending opportunities."
Ultimately, "banks in slower-growth regions will end up buying banks in faster-growth regions over time," Harralson said. "The banks will seek growth. The banks in the faster-growth regions will seek it within the region."
There are factors besides employment levels to consider when assessing the strength of a particular region, including population trends, weather, the housing picture and the regulatory environment. Citing those factors, many analysts say that some pockets of the South, where unemployment is generally high, are well positioned over the long term, while improvement in areas of the Midwest may plateau.
Harralson, who focuses on banks in the Southeast, is upbeat about its long-term growth prospects despite high unemployment in states like Georgia and Florida.
"There are different levels of weakness, I suppose," he said. "Florida has been the biggest laggard, so the banks that have the most exposure there are seeing the slowest turnarounds."
Regions Financial Corp., for instance, has significant exposure in Florida, Harralson said, which has impeded its efforts to return to profitability.
BB&T Corp., on the other hand, is a Southeast-based bank with less exposure to Florida. That's helped the Winston-Salem, N.C., bank avoid losses throughout the downturn, Harralson said.
"Over time you'll see that geography show strong growth again," he said. "The weather is a driver. I think the labor is generally cheaper in the Southeast. I think for many of the Southeast markets it's generally less expensive to live. I still think you'll see corporate relocations and job growth in the Southeast someday."
Harralson's outlook is long-term — two to five years out. Still, he doesn't see banks in that region running for the hills.
"The Southeast banks believe that over time the Southeast region will experience strong growth," Harralson said. "I haven't seen where Southeast banks feel the need to diversify out of the Southeast. … They are starting to move from defense to offense. They are starting to feel a little bit more confident in the economy."
In the near term, however, the Southeast doesn't have the brightest forecast.
"While those economies do have population-growth dynamics, we don't think it oversteps [other factors] in the near term," said Chris Gamaitoni, a vice president at Compass Point Research and Trading in Washington. The potential for another slide in the residential real estate market there, for instance, is a big concern for Gamaitoni. "Pricing is down, sales are decreasing and no one has seemed to notice," he said.
The exposure Regions and SunTrust Banks Inc. have in the Southeast "is still definitely a headwind," he said. "We think the Midwest is more attractive, excluding the Chicago real estate market."
There's no doubt that the employment picture is rosier in the Midwest, which exhibited the biggest year-over-year decline in unemployment. A 1.6-percentage-point drop in February, to 8.4%, gave the Midwest the second-lowest unemployment rate, behind the Northeast's 8.3%.
"If we look at the economic recovery, the one bright spot has been manufacturing," Winter said. "And so the thinking is that the Midwest banks, like a U.S. Bancorp, Comerica … a Fifth Third, the thinking is that they should be able to benefit and take advantage of something like that."
Long-term, though, growth prospects may diminish in the Midwest. Improvement could plateau in states like Michigan, analysts said.
Michigan has shown the biggest year-over-year decline in unemployment: 3.1 percentage points, to 10.4% in February.
"In Michigan's case, the economic situation was so dire that once the automakers stabilized, some bounce-back was inevitable," O'Donnell said. "There is an improvement, but the general consensus is that they're not going to return to a strong state.
"I'm just not sure what's going to take that market to the next level from an industry standpoint," he added. "There's just not a lot of growth."
Dana Johnson, chief economist at Comerica, said he expects manufacturing there to remain fairly strong at least through 2011.
"I would think Michigan would look surprisingly good for a little while longer before it reverts to a sluggish growth pattern," he said. "I suspect that's next year's story, not this year's story."

How recent is the Savings for All Seasons booklet? Just wondering if I could still find one somewhere…..
They cam out spring a year ago :( sorry
This booklet came out last summer and it is long gone.
Still some great deals in this week's ad!
yeah! finally…..
the cpn book one stop one store has $3 off cpn on cleaning products got the clorox 32oz .19
Still haven't received my $10 Publix GC when I last bought diapers and sent in for the rebate. Has anyone had any luck with this one. I believe I bought 2 large boxes of Huggies. Is the rebate after coupons?
I was wondering the same thing. I also bought 2 Huggies boxes to submit. Wish I knew the status, seems like it's been long enough!
I was going to ask Jenny if she knew of a link to check up on these! I bought 2 diapers & wipes also!
I havent received mine from the last time they had this offer….anyone know how to find ot why?
I just looked over my notes that I jot down when I send off a rebate and it said to allow 8-10 from 2/19/10 which isn't quite yet. It said you could email email@example.com with "w/KC/Unilever Gift Card Offer" in the subject line to check the status of your gift card. I agree though, I was hesitant to do another one until I knew if I was going to get the last one. I think the last one was for the first 5,000 submissions if I remember correctly, and this one is only for the first 2,000. I just emailed them, so I haven't heard back yet, but hopefully I will soon. Hope this helps!
I got an email saying mine was approved and would be mailed 8-10 weeks from 2/19/10. I replied with the email address you can email to check the status of yours too, but it hasn't posted yet. It said it had to be approved first, so maybe it will show up soon. I received an email only 10 minutes after I sent one inquiring about my gift card. Wow! What service! I agree though… I would want to make sure I was getting the first one before trying for another one. Hopefully, that info. I typed will show up soon. If not, I'll try again. Hope this helps!
I know that rebate had a limit, only 2,000 total were available. I'm still waiting for mine and hoping that I was one of the first, but I'm starting to have serious doubts!
There's a .55/2 suave shampoo or conditioner in the beautiful benefits booklet. Should make them .73 each
There is also a .55 cent coupon in the personal concierge booklet which makes for a really great deal on suave because it states on one 12 oz. or larger and it is a Publix coupon so if the other is manufacturer coupon you could get them for.18 cents each. Do not know the beautiful benefits booklet where is this located?
Gail, I just bought the 30 oz. at 10/$10, with 10 store coupons(personal concierge), so it worked out really well. You can also get one 30 oz. bottle for .55 which will last longer in my house than the smaller one.
The .55/2 in the beautiful benefits is a publix coupon, so you can't use both coupons together.
The Midol printable isn't working for me. It says I've printed my limit, but I'm pretty sure I've never printed it. Has anyone else been able to print it?
I was able to print two this morning. Heads up the Midol coupon – it is a bottom print on the page, in case you you turn paper over to get the most out of your printing. :)
Thanks for that heads up Wynette! It's always frustrating when their coupon ad takes up a whole page. I mean we're clipping your coupon because we are going to buy your product we're not the ones who need the ad, lol I wish they would save it for someone else. Thanks again ;p
i do that too! hate wasting paper!
Hi, I am very new to your site, and "super" couponing. I am trying to re learn how to use them other than to go to the store and say "oh, I have a coupon for that!". I am going to be an unemployed school teacher this summer and am desperately looking for ways to save money. I am a very frugal person to begin with, so this concept is wonderful. My problem is this: I have been clipping for a couple of weeks, and have a few coupons, not too many, I live in a small town in Alabama and am going to have to subscribe to a paper from a larger city. I went in Publix today, armed with some coupons, and ready to find a deal. I got in there and was so overwhelmed. I did not know what to do. I ended up just leaving. Can you suggest some baby steps for me to help me get started? I have watched the tutorials and read the section on getting started but I need a little more guidance I guess. thank you!
I suggest making a small list from the weekly ad, match the coupons you have. Place the coupons and the list in an envelope. Go in and buy ONLY what is on your list, makes for alot less distraction! Good luck, it takes time but stay focused and you will be good to go by the time summer comes around by picking up bits and pieces!
I am also in Alabama (Childersburg). I use this website almost on a daily basis. I buy the Birmingham News every week. I also look in Publix for different coupon books that may be out…sometimes you need to ask at customer service. One thing that is helpful to me is not clipping coupons right when I get them. I put the coupon inserts from each weeks paper into a plastic page cover and put them into a binder and then write the date on the page cover. This way, when you see the coupon matchup on this site (i.e. .55/1 SS 3/7) all you have to do is go to your set of coupons from March 7th and pull out the smart source coupons. I print my shopping list and then stick the list and all of my cut coupon matchups into an envelope and put that in my purse and head out to the store! Hope that helps some! Good luck!
It helps to be really organized about it. I totally agree with Krista_A about making a list, because that is KEY! On my grocery list, I put a star next to things I am buying that I will use a coupon on. Then, before I check out, I take a minute to look through my cart, make sure I've pulled out all my coupons, and everything's ready to go.
As far as the number of coupons that you have, get ready! You may have just a few now, but soon you will have TONS! Jenny is wonderful about sharing where coupons are located all over the web, and that really helps. Stick with Southern Savers and you'll be fine!
I also spend my summers as an unempolyed teacher/mom. I started with Southern Savers last June, and now consistently save 30% every time I shop. I know others do better, but I tend to get overwelmed sometimes. I stick with Jenny's lists, print out the lists ( a GREAT feature) and take the list and coupons to the store. The only coupons I cut out as I get them are the web printables. These I file in envelopes with labels that work for me ("meds/dental", "breakfast", etc). Newspaper inserts I leave whole, write the date on the front of the insert in magic marker, and put in a shoe box. They are stacked in date order, so I can flip through them to find the ones Jenny matches to the sales.Once you get weekly shopping under control, THEN try the stockpiling.
I don't understand the unemployed part. Did you lose your job as a teacher? If so, I am very sorry. If you are not losing your job, are you calling your summer vacation a time of unemployment? I am a high school math teacher, and I have never thought of my summer vacation as a time of unemployment. I still receive pay checks during the summer.
Well said!
depends on the area…some teachers get paid higher salaries during the school year, but don't get paid at all during summer
So they get paid in advance? Lucky them.
They don't get paid in advance. They only get paid for the months that they work. Some school systems take their 9 month salary and stretch it out for 12 months.
Ha! As a former teacher, I wish we had been paid in advance! No, sadly, many school systems only pay during the 9-month school year, and teachers don't get paid anything for the 3 months during the summer. It depends on the school system. Some stretch the meager salary out over 12 months, making it an even more measly paycheck. I am one of the ones that left the profession due to the low pay being unable to really pay the bills.
some school systems only pay during the school year and then teachers do not get checks during the summer. Where I used to work, that was the way it was. It was hard, because you essentially have to try to save 1/3 of what you bring home each paycheck (which is often not very much!) for those summer months when you get nothing. Some teachers I know took other jobs during the summer in order to pay the bills.
t- relax!! I completely understand. What I do is make my shopping list, clip my coupons and shop from my coupons, not my list. That way, I don't get frustrated. This method even my anti-coupon hubby can do the shopping!! I know that there are always staples that we need, so if I don't have a coupon for them, I know that I have to purchase them anyway :-) HTH
I too was like you when I first started. I live in Northport, AL and I get the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham newspapers on Sunday. I also print A LOT of the coupons that I use. The biggest thing that has helped me is I print out my shopping list from here a head of time and then I sit down and see how many coupons I have for that particular item. I then write the number that I can buy with the coupons I have in the margins, that way I'm not sitting in the middle of the store trying to make sure I'm not going over or coming short on the amount that I can get. I then paperclip all of the coupons that I KNOW I'm going to use to my list. I still will carry my coupon box (I use a 4×6 recipe box) in with me because sometimes I see a deal that wasn't listed that I have a coupon for.
I'm a 30 yr old male, so if I can do it, a school teacher SURE can do it! Good luck!
Jason, do the B'ham and Tuscaloosa coupon inserts differ much? I live in Dora and get the B'ham news but my in-laws live in Vance and I was wondering if it would be worth getting them to get me a Tuscaloosa paper every Sunday. Thanks :-)
They DO differ some. The B-ham news usually will have more than T-news. When they do overlap, it's for the same amount though
Jason, it's good to see another male on here! I'm 24, engaged, living in Columbia, SC. My fiancée is excited that I'm figuring this whole coupon thing out now (I've only been doing it for a week, but have saved over 60% total), so that when we get married, we can stretch those savings out even more! :)
Good job. It's great to see men supportive of saving money/couponing… it also means you are helping your fiancee with grocery shopping. :)
I do the exact same thing with attaching the coupons and writing in the margins how many I have. I can get through the store so much faster! And I also carry my coupon binder too!
Welcome to the site! You will love all the great deals here. And don't feel alone in the overwhelmed part of it. we've ALL been there too. After you get the hang of it, it will be like second nature saving money on everything you buy! :)
I just make my grocery list straight from this web-site. Then, as I'm shopping, I pull the coupon for the item I just put in my cart & put it in a pocket of my coupon binder. Then at checkout, I just hand the whole stack to the cashier. I started with grocery shopping & sort of graduated to drug store shopping. It's worth all the mental energy you put into it. I just went to Publix today – spent $37 & saved $68! I'm also unemployed & I cringe to think of what we'd be eating if I didn't coupon. We're actually eating better now than when I was employed due to couponing. Plus having nicer toiletries, name brand drugs & cleaners, etc. I've told my friends that I think a class on couponing should be required for those on food stamps. They are the ones needing the bargains the most and with this information, could probably stretch those food stamps to meet their grocery needs completely.
what part of Alabama..I'm in Hope Hull, I shop at Prattville publix
I felt the same way about being overwhelmed. It is much like a classroom, you teach the lesson, then allow practice. You will start saving a few dollars at first. As your confidence builds, you will save more. Like teaching, you don't expect 100% mastery the first few times of practice. Good Luck!
I find it helps if I cut out the picture and price of the item from the flier and paperclip the coupons to the back of it. This way, I can see the item on the shelf and not get stuck with a 16 ounce instead of an 8 ounce salad dressing, for instance, and then get all flustered at the register. Also, go at night for a practice run of the dry items, when there are less shoppers and distractions. Just go for 3 or 4 items, with a manufacturer and a store coupon to see how it all works out. And do not think that you have to have 8 coupons for this or that. Your collection will slowly grow-let your friends and family know you are couponing, and they will often pick them up and mail them to you. Good luck.I am also a teacher, but on maternity leave, so I really know where you are coming from!
I also felt overwhelmed at first but it easier. I buy two Sunday papers. I have the coupons in a three ring binder in baseball card sleeves. I set those up by aisle at Publix. I go into the store and down each aisle. I look for the BOGO offers and see if I have a coupon. Those are the items I target. I started in December and I get better each time I shop. I think the thing to remember is as you are getting your stash started there are going to be some items you may not have a coupon for and will need to pay full price. As teh sales cycle you will begin to pay less and less for each item. Hope this helps. Don't give up. Try it with a few coupons and you will become addicted after paying so much less for items.
I have only been doing this for a few months myself, but have saved so much money! My husband is an unemployed student and we have a teenage boy at home who eats everything he can get his hands on! I think this website is one of the only reasons we are able to get my on just my income. I clip all my coupons and put them in a binder ( a lot of work, but it works best for me; I can see what I have right away). I print my shopping list and then pull the coupons that go with it in an envelope and take that to the store. I don't usually take my binder with me since everything I plan to buy is on my list and I already have the coupons pulled.
I copy any deals I'm interested in from Jenny's list and paste them into Notepad, in the same order as my local store's aisles. Then I add in anything else we need for the week, still following the store's layout.
I print out the list, then I use the provided information to find and cut out or print the coupons. I put the list, along with the matching coupons in a zip top baggie.
Since my list is laid out like the store, I can start at the produce side and work my way across to the frozen section without backtracking or going down aisles multiple times (well, most of the time!) After I'm done shopping I find a quiet spot in the store and double check to make sure I've gotten everything on my list and remove any extra coupons (if I changed my mind, decided to buy less or they were out of something).
When I get to check out I hand over my tote bags and my Upromise card, watch everything get rung up, then take my coupons out of my baggie and give them to the cashier, making sure that she gets them all.
For me, this is actually easier than wandering aimlessly around the store trying to decide what sounds good (my husband's method! I love the man but I can't go to the grocery store with him!)
Does the ad run through 4/13 for everyone? I'm in North GA, our ad usually ends on Wednesdays, which would be 4/14.
I live in Florida and ours always go to Wednesday I was just looking at the ad itself and it goes to 4/14
You cannot use both coupons on the Scrubbing Bubbles Starter Kit. The store coupon reads: MAY NOT BE USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY OTHER COUPON
I have never had a problem stacking these coupons. My store interprets that as any other store coupon and I am still able to redeem a MQ.
It is YMMV but most store do allow you do that. In my opinion they dont want you to use two store coupons on one item. Now if it said cannot be combined with any other offer aka coupons I would not try to use a coupon on it. But I would ask your manager before hand most will say Okay!
That has never been an issue for me. One store coupon, one manufacture coupon per item.
I did this deal last week and the cashier didn't have an issue with it. But I know some people have posted that their Manager would not allow it.
I just went and bought this yesterday at my Publix and they accepted both coupons….HTH
do you realize you are yelling when typing in all caps?
Thanks for saying something. I didn't know that was protocol for blogs. I'm still new to this and thought that whenever I used caps I was emphasizing something like using bold or italics (I don't know how to use those, if it's even possible, on these comments). So, how does one emphasize something without using caps? Use ""?
tone of message + all caps = yelling imho, quotes would seem appropriate for this friendly blog. :)
I did this deal Saturday and had NO PROBLEMS!!! The cashier even noticed both coupons and said "This is a great deal". My Publix has never given me problems…
Worked for me.
i can't get tQuantumatic Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser coupon to print — always says, Oops server has experienced a problem. Anyone else face this or know how to resolve?
working @ 1126 am monday 5 april -Rona
The Kraft cheese $2/2 dispenser coupon I found was on natural shredded- is there another I should be on the lookout for?
The older dispenser coupons for $1/2 were for any Kraft, the ones I have expired 3/31, but there may be others out there.
I live in Florida where it is "true" BOGO deals. How would I work the BOGO Coffee-Mate creamer deal with a B2G1 coupon. THANKS!!
I think you would end up buying 1 and getting 2 free? Correct me if I'm wrong!
Actually it would be like buy 1 get 3 free because you would get 4 – 2 would be free and then the coupon would make a 3rd free!!!!!!!! now thats a good deal
I live in Florida too…Buy 4, you"ll get two free with the sale, one free with the coupon and pay for one. Remember you can actually use 3 of the .75/1 coupons and actually make a little money if you store allows.
4*1.99 = 7.96-3.98 – Sale-1.99 – B2G1 coupon-.75 *3 – Coupons for the other 3 you are purchasing=.26 moneymaker
really?! that's so amazing! i actually have all those coupons, too! so, generally speaking, if you have a bogo coupon, you can also use one money off coupon since you are paying for the first product?
I am happy that works out for you guys that way. I always feel bad for the FL Publix shoppers when I see your comments on how a lot of stuff doesn't work for you.
The deal becomes even sweeter if you buy 6 creamers6 x $1.99 = $12-$6 (BOGO sale)use 2 B2G1 coupons – will take off $4 = $2use 4 $0.75 coupons – will take off $3 = -$1 money maker!
That might work in places where you have to buy 2 and the 2nd is free, but in Atlanta they are all half price, so the free ones take off $1.00, not $2.00. It is a great deal, but your numbers won't work here. SAD.
buy 2 get 3 free?if you get 1 for each one you buy and then another for the coupon….right?
I am pretty sure I still have a .50/1 coffee-mate creamer that expires 5/7. Thanks again Jenny
I found it too, it's in RP 2/07, it makes it free with a tiny bit of overage!
I know…..I have six of them :-)….I did look to make sure and it is indeed for liquid creamer! Free creamer for us this week.
I think it's for the powder creamer. And the refrigerated liquid creamer is the one that is on sale and pictured in Publix's ad. I don't think the store would be reimbursed if you used it either in that scenario.
My insert had a .50 q for liquid AND a .50 off powder. I already used my liquid, but others may not have, they should be able to use the liquid legitimately.
If that's the case, it is a good deal. Coupontom dot com is listing the powdered creamer as the .50 off coupon and the liquid as .75 off. Maybe this is one of those regional variations that benefits some people. :)
I also got both the .50/1 powdered as well as a .50/1 liquid. Pairing that with the B2G1 printable and I am so excited for some FREE creamer! Yeah!
I don't see the scrubbing bubbles sprayer kit in my ad. Is it hidden? I'm in Fla
It is not on sale, this is the regular price. I got two yesterday. Use the Publix $3.00 off and manufacturer $5.00 off. Price 7.99, savings 8.00 they pay you a penny to take it out of the store. Great deal!
I'm trying to figure out how to get the $3 Publix coupon? I printed the $5 off, but still can't locate the $3 Publix…any help appreciated.
It is in the One Stop One Store q booklet
The $3 coupon is in the "One Stop One Store" booklet.
What is Kroger My Magazine??? Does Kroger put out magazines in their stores or do they mail them??
they send them in the mail. Make sure they have your mailing address!
For the BP giftcard is it $25 before coupons?
Yes, it is $25 before coupons – at least it always has been in the past. Hope this helps!
I'm not sure about for the gift card, but I had a competitor coupon today ($10. off a $50. purchase from Winn Dixie) and she held it out until the end and said my total had to be $50. AFTER she scanned my coupons. I think this is a new thing. I don't remember them doing that before. It may have been because it was a competitor coupon though. I might call and ask first if I were you. Good luck! (I went to the Lee Branch Publix in AL., by the way. I understand why they do that and wasn't upset, but would have liked to have had a head's up because I had to go back and buy more groceries. lol!
It might have just been the cashier. That happened to me once, so I switched to another store. But I have since gone back to the original store and have had no problems. (Although the last time I went, they held the $5/$30 Winn Dixie coupon until last, so I thought oh no, not again!, but they deducted it. I was barely over $30 pre coupon and about $10 after all coupons were deducted.
Hey Jennifer, I shop at that Publix often and they have taken the competitor Q just like the one you used before my other Q's. I wonder if it was the cashier. Sorry. :(
Yes, it's before coupons. Today I bought $26 before coupons, less $6 in coupons and was able to get the $10 off. Also, 2 weeks ago when they ran the ad, I bot $55 before coupons, had $20 in coupons and paid $35. They were out of the BP cards so they told me to come back with the receipt. When I did I was able to buy 2 $50 BP cards using that receipt and got $20 discount for the BP coupons.
I got a Sunday paper (Greenville News) but I don't see a Publix ad anywhere – will it be in the Wednesday paper? I want the BP coupon!
You should be able to get it when you walk into the store when the ad is active. It should be in there. At least it always is in my Publix!
You can get the coupon by going to the ad at http://www.publix.com and clicking on the coupon in the ad-this will allow you to print your own coupon.
The store coupons for the Scrubbing bubbles Sprayer Kit say can not be used in conjunction with any other coupon, is it going to be an issue to use it with the $5 manufacturer coupon?
I used both together just fine, I asked my publix about using these coupons together and they said it was fine.
I also used both just fine. Even asked the cashier. He read all the fine print and had no problem with coupons what-so-ever. By the way, it's a GREAT product. It's been 5 days, and my 2 bathrooms are still shining like new.
In Miami, the deal on Purex Laundry Detergent is for $4.99, not $3.99.
I'm not seeing the Pam coupon in the April All You magazine.
I just filed my mom's and hers was a cardstock Con Agra insert in the magazine.
can somebody tell me what a BP card is???
A gas gift card for BP gas stations…you pay $40 for a $50 gas card.
It is a gift card for the BP gas stations (Southern States). They used to do Shell gift cards as well, but lately it has only been BP. But that is a 20% savings on gas, so not bad (if you have a BP in your area or will be traveling and come across a BP).
Gift card for BP Convenience & Gas store…you immediately get $10 off your order when you purchase the gift card which can be used for your gas (or I suppose other purchases) at British Petroleum (BP) stores. HTH!
I bought the Huntsville Times (AL) this morning and I just found out that I do not have a RP or SS. Did anyone else not have it?
I think Jenny posted earlier last week that there would only be a P&G insert this week–no RP or SS.
Hi Courtney,
On weekends with major holidays (like Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Christmas, etc), there will NOT be any RP's or SS's. Proctor and Gamble screws up the trend by releasing coupon booklets during those weekends, so if those coupons are valuable to you then go ahead and purchase papers during holiday weekends. If those coupons are not valuable, then take advantage of the weekend off from clipping :-)
Chrissy, I agree with you on P & G messing it all up with when they release their coupons. They did this last time around Christmas or New Year's.
Here in Greenville, it was so worth it to get the paper even though it was the only insert. There were several higher value coupons as well as at least 4 BOGO coupons.
Courtney,If you go to the search box at the top of the page and type in coupon inserts, you can then click on the 2010 inserts and it will tell you what to expect in the paper for each week. HTH
Regarding the Organic Valley milk coupons, has anyone actually tried using the one from the Greenwise mag. and a mfg. coupon together? I only ask b/c the one from the mag. also has a bar code like a mfg coupon, so I am not sure if it is a true store coupon. I think it is also a mfg. coupon, so you can use both in conjunction with one another…
I've been using them together for the past month or even two.
I always use them together w/ no problem.
I used them today on two half gallons, but they scanned them just like any other coupon and it came up as a Vendor coupon, not a Publix coupon, so it was like I was using 2 mfg. coupons on each milk. I just thought I would let other know b/c it really isn't a Publix coupon, so you shouldn't use both. I guess their system just isn't catching it. Thanks for the information, at least now I've tried it and know that it isn't really legit.
another $1 off yoplait fiber one multipack in the "eat better america" coupon mailer.
Where do I find all the "advantage flyers" and booklets like "one stop one store" in Publix? I always check the little rotating kiosk that's in the entrance lobby and never know if that's the right place. I'm new to this so have only been looking a couple times so far and just don't know if I'm in the right spot or if I need to ask for them or if there's a way to have them mailed ????
Diana,The green and yellow advantage flyers are normally in the kiosk, the booklets seem to go a little faster. Check with your customer service, some put them behind the counter to keep peeps from taking stacks of them. I have e-mailed publix and asked that a couple of booklets be mailed to me and received the coupons only. One of the ones I received by mail expired in 3 days so I missed a couple of sales.
Thank you!! When I was in today I asked at the service desk and they had one green, and said they try to keep some back there so people don't take whole stacks. :)
In answer to tdouglas about feeling overwhelmed with the first attempt at coupon shopping just hang in there. The first time or two can be confussing. I use Jenny's list and make my list, print it and then match the deals with the coupons I have, then I clip. I save the rest in a file marked by the month and week. I mark the amount of the product I plan to buy as well on the list and check it off when I have coupon set aside. I take a zippered plastic folder, the list and my coupons to Publix, where I also find the Sunday papers of which I buy 4 each week. You must buy at least 2 for the buy one get one deals to make the best deal. My folder is a good place to put the coupons I decide not to use when I have seen the product. Also the coupons I find in the store. I find the product, the coupon and mark it off the list and continue through the store. Remember not to shop around through the store and try to stick to the list unless you really need something and then go ahead and get it. Soon you will zip through in a hurry. Keep you eye open for the blinkie boxes with coupons on the store shelves for current sales or save them for later sales. You don't have to get it just because it is on sale but try to stock up on what you like to use regularly so you will have plenty until the next great buy. Don't give up! You will soon be saving a lot of money and be hooked!
Does Publix require a frequent buyer card (like E-Vic) to get their specials?
No they do not have a card. But you can sign up for the Baby Club and get coupons if you need them, and they do have an upromise card.
On the green giant and many other online coupons it says do not double or triple but on the adds above you show the price with it being doubled. Which coupons are doubled and which are not? Does it depend on the cashier whether they douple it or not?
I think each store is different. The Publix closest to be started suppressing doubles that say DND a couple of months ago. So I travel a little further where there are 2 other Publix's within a 4 mile radious and both double even if the coupon says DND. Best to check with your store manager on their policies.
usually it depends on the store, if the upc code on the coupon begins with a 5, it will automatically double at stores that do doubles. Certain stores/cashiers may automatically adjust the coupon to remove the double value off. In my experience this has never happened at my Publix, it has happened at Ingles before. The doubled savings are store discounts, not from the manufacturer, so I don't really know why the manufacturers limit the doubling on the coupon.
It is hit or miss for my Publix….if it says it and they realize it, they will surpress the doubling. But I had one let it go through on Saturday. Depends on cashier I guess in Athens, AL
are the Nabisco Single Serve Tray or Variety Pack gonna work for the facebook cookie deal?
Well, I guess it will depend on the ounces of those multi-packs. The coupon is good for sizes between 4-26 oz. But, it also is only up to $4.19 so even if the ounces are correct, you wouldn't be able to get the full value for free. Still might be a good deal for you though if you want the multi-packs.
Starbucks is $6.99 at Publix this week. There are a few $1 off and $1.50 off coupons floating around, too. I clip, so I don't always keep up with where they come from.
I am confused about the Coffee-Mate deal. If you buy three, use two of the .75/1 coupons, plus the B2G1 coupon, wouldn't that be using two manufacturer's coupons on the same product? I thought you couldn't do that…
Sorry for the silly question – I am new at this!
It is one coupon per item….The B2G1 Free is for the free one, the .75 cents off is for the 1st one and the other .75 cents off is for the second one (the two you have to buy in order to get the free one). Not all stores allow this (one Publix near me doesn't allow it, but another one down the road does).
It would be different if your coupon was say $1/3 items. In that case you couldn't use another. But the B2G1 is only for one item, not all three. You may have already understood with Michelle's answer, but I thought I'd give you another explanation, just in case. Hey, no silly questions! =) We're all happy to help!
I can't print the Northland 100% Juice Blends coupon :(
me either. :-(
I got the message that there were no more prints for that campaign
Thanks so much for all that you do! I wanted to let you know that I've discovered a troubling bit of news about Publix, and the fact that they continue they continue to purchase tomatoes from the farms where the victims in a recent Florida farmworker slavery case were taken to work, despite being made aware of it by protesters and interfaith human rights groups. Other stores, including Kroger, have stopped using this tomato farm as a supplier.
As a Christian, I've chosen to boycott them for this reason, and thought you might like to know. Farmers market season is coming up, and we can all get some great deals on local produce by buying from our local farmers. I find the produce to be cheaper, cleaner, and to last MUCH longer than the stuff that's shipped from South America or Calfornia, and I like knowing that I'm supporting my towns struggling local economy.
You can read about the Publix story here: http://www.interfaithact.org/publix
And find your local farmers market here: localharvest.org
Again, thanks for all you do! Your hard work has saved my family hundreds of dollars!!
Laura, I read the story you had linked and also the links from that story to the original article in the Ft. Myers newspaper. It seems to me like the people responsible weren't actually the farms themselves, but rather some individuals who have since been convicted and sent to prison. How would boycotting Publix and those farms help anything? Seems like the problem was resolved, right? Am I missing something? Also, since those farms are in Florida, our local communites, buying from them is helping our local town's struggling economies, right? But I am all for supporting the farmers markets too! I love buying produce there. I too am a Christian and am concerned with human-rights struggles, but I am just not understanding this one? Thanks so much!
Here's a link to get $1/2 Birdseye Viola Meals. I was able to print two this morning.
Has anyone been able to print the Quantum coupon? I just tried and it isn't even showing up. I tried last Wed or Thurs and it never printed. I really wanted to try this since I always use the gel packs by the same company!
I just tried it and it printed.
I printed mine. It sounds as if your "try" last week was a print, as far as they are concerned. They only know that you hit the print button and it is sent to your printer. They have no way of tracking if it was actually printed after that tho. That particular website allows one print and then the item is removed from your available coupons. Do you have another computer?
Just tried to print from another computer and not even seeing it availabe to choose. I sent them an email telling them that I only buy the Finish Gelpacks (which is true) and asked them to send me the coupon. Hopefully they will. Each time I have had a problem getting a coupon the company has mailed me one. :-)
At Publix on Fairview Rd. in Simpsonville, SC, Publix sandwich bread is $.25.
FYI, the Steak-umm's 7 count (frozen) rang up BOGO at my store this morning. They are originally $4.49 and rang up at $2.25 each. YUM!
I am new to this whole "couponing" thing and I am a little confused and overwhelmed! I have read everything about Publix, but I still have a question. I live in the South Florida area (true BOGO) and was wondering if Publix takes 2 manufacturer coupons. Such as one printed from the internet and one that I clipped from the newspaper on the same item. I know that they will take one store coupon (such as Publix or one of its competitors) but I am not sure about this scenario. Any help or advice would be greatly appreaciated. I started last week with my first real trips to CVS and Walgreens and I am getting the hang of out. Now I really want to get away from the clutches of Wal-Mart and save some real $$$ at Publix like you guys! Thanks :)
I am also a south Fl shopper. You can only use 1 manufacturer coupon per item. Whether it is from the paper or a printable. The only way to use more than one is to stack a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon together. Almost all coupons will say one coupon per purchase, meaning one per item.
That's what I thought. I believe that I had the same problem at CVS the other day as well because I thought that I could use both the printable and a regular newspaper coupon! Thanks for the response…little by little I will learn this whole process!
I stopped by Publix today & was thrilled to spot an unadvertised sale on the big cans of Folgers – B1G1 @ $8.99. The cheapest I've ever seen these was $5.99. The Black Silk was not included, which is what the high dollar coupons are for right now, but I did have some smaller ones to bring the total a little lower.
the coupon for the betty crocker supremem brownie mix says not to double so it would be more than .49
Even though some coupon say do not double or triple, Publix will…..I had 10 like that this past weekend and they all got doubled…..
It depends on the store….sometimes they will surpress the doubling of the coupon if it says not to double. It is up to the individual store. My store told they will surpress the doubling of coupons that state that, however, they have doubled them the past two times I have been in.
this just happened to me at Publix about an hour ago. The cashier suppressed the doubling on the Betty Crocker pot. and the Green Giant vegetable. Really bummed me out because I've had coupons that state *do not double* and the cashier let the doubling go through. Oh well, I guess it depends on the day and time and cashier and………. :)
The U-scan cant suppress the do not double qs.
I tried to use some of those today and normally the cashier just lets them through without a problem. Today though, she started suppressing them, and when I asked a manager about it. She said they are starting to crack down on those. So it all depends on the manager.
there are peelies on the GM cereal for $1 off the BC brownies…which are B1G1 this week for I think $2.39? with 2 $1 coupons makes it $0.20a box…..depending on your area's price.
Publix has Heluva Good dip on Sale for $1.49 and you can print a coupon from their website for $0.50/1 making the dip .49 cents!
What Publix has the heluva good dip on sale with a coupon on their website? i can't find it in the columbia sc area.
The dip is on sale at my Kroger in Gainesville, Ga. Maybe it is regional or just this store. But you can get the coupon on heluva's website.
down in the charleston area it's on sale for 1.49 also and i printed the coupon from the Heluva good site making it .49.
Is the "One Stop One Store" booklet still available?
My store still had a pile at the entrance at the store. It all depends on your store.
They may or may not be. I had to speak to a customer service rep, then she went searching in the back & wala! She came back with 3 for me. So ask. Same thing with the Value in Family one!
I am confused with Publix's policy that they honor all competitor's coupons. I took in a Lowe's coupon for Total Care Tide that I got from the Smart Source pack in Sunday's paper. The cashier called over the manager and said Lowe's is not a grocery store and I said the coupon is for the same product. He said alittle irritated with me, "we are pushing it with the CVS and Walgreen's coupons as it is." We have a CVS, Walgreen's and Lowe's and I would think they are competitor's? I emailed Publix corporate but have heard no response yet. I'm not trying to break any rules but I'm unclear on which competitor coupons I can use???? Anyone have any thoughts??
It's not really that they honor all competitor's coupons… they honor what each individual store considers to be a competitor, so each store is different. You just have to find out what your store considers to be a competitor. I would just call and ask your store what competitor coupons they take. For example my Publix will take Target, Winn Dixie, and Walgreens coupons because that is what they consider to be "competitors" for them, but each store is different. I know it gets confusing, but be patient, it's all worth it once you figure out all the tricks. :) Hope this helps!
The manager of Publix called me back yesterday and insisted I describe the asst. manager who told me I was pushing it with my Walgreen's, CVS, ect. He said Publix does not have a corporate policy and it is left up to the individual store. He did say Lowe's wasn't an acceptable competitor's coupon but told me the asst. manager should have explained that to me instead of being irritated with me. Our Publix will accept CVS, Walgreen's, Target, Super Walmart, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, and Winn Dixie. He also said Publix is not a tit for tat company and will not force the issue over 75 cents so he apologized and I told him, no worries, I just think everyone should know what's going on because I don't want to break any rules or hurt a good thing. I told him I have a big mouth so I'll make sure everyone in our town knows what to do! :)
My Publix won't take Target coupons for the same reason that your Publix won't take Lowe's coupons. I KNOW my Publix wouldn't take a Lowe's coupon! lol :)
I don't know if it differs by store or not, but my Publix's policy is that they'll only take other grocery store coupons, like Kroger and Ingles. Not Target, and I haven't tried CVS or Walgreen's.
I've been to a Publix in my area that will not accept Rite Aid any more, even with them right across the street. However, the Publix that is closer to my house tried to deny me the coupon also but I spoke to the manager after I walked out and she told me to come back in and they would honor my Rite Aid coupons. It varies by store, one Publix I asked before I used the coupon even though the Rite Aid was a couple miles down the road and they honored it.
Publix is a "grocery store." Are you able to buy groceries at Lowes? That should answer your question.
Most stores only take coupons from traditional grocery stores, i.e. Winn-Dixie, U-Save, Albertsons, Target, Kroger, etc.
Some take drugstores like Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS. Most don't.
We are lucky enough Publix takes competitor coupons, so lets not push it.
NO! When your "grocery store" carries non-grocery items, they are no longer a "grocery store" exclusively. If the stores carry the same products and are right across the street from each other, then they are competitors. And FYI, Target is NOT a grocery store, Super Targets are, but regular Target stores are "stores that happen to sell grocery items".
Wow, your's takes CVS & WAGS coupons? I sure wish mine did?
Effective May 1, our Publix (Decatur, AL) will no longer accept drug store, Kmart, Dollar General, Target, etc. as competitors. They explained, "If it doesn't have produce/meat/deli, we won't consider it a competitor." Another customer service person said the changes are coming thru their new District Manager, not the store. The next closest Publix's are 18 miles away. Each of those stores said they would cont. to accept all as competitors (excpt. Lowes :-))
There is a grocery store called Lowes Food, so if you have one in your area, then it would be a competitor of Publix. He must have thought it was the Lowes home improvement center.
I have a question for all of those couponing pros out there! I have 2 coupons for $2/2 Keebler Crackers from Walgreen's. My Publix considers Walgreen's a competitor. Will I be able to use both $2/2 coupons, or only 1? I feel like I've seen where other people have mentioned doing things similar to this, but now I'm not so sure. Any help is appreciated! :)
You will get the hang of it! As long as you 2 buy items you can use the $2/2 coupon if you have 2 coupons then you will need to buy 4 boxes to use 2 coupons. Basically you have to buy the min. quantity the coupon calls out for (2 in this case).
If one is a walgreen's store coupon and the other is a manufacturer coupon, you should be able to use both if you buy 2 boxes.
Anyone willing to mail me a copy from your store of the "one stop one store" booklet and the "value in the family" booklet? Our store does not carry them. I'll mail you back stamps to cover the postage. If anyone is willing, please email me at email@example.com.
there is the $10 off prevacid manfacturer coupon and publix has a store coupon for $5 off in their spring savings book
The $10 is for the 42 count. It's very expensive! My Publix only has the 14 count for about $12, and the 28 count for $20+
Where do you get the "One Stop One Store" booklet.
Check out "Coupon Traders" on the top right hand side of this page. If you post what you are looking for, someone may trade with you.
Does anyone know what the price on the Huggies Diapers are? I'm got several coupons for the rebate but don't know if it will be a good deal or not.
between 17.99 and 19.99.
Called my store in simpsonville, sc and they are 19.99. I think it's a good deal but the gift card won't come until june/july from what I can find. Hope this helps
Heads up:
You can find a $1 off any ONE bag of M&Ms (9.4 oz or larger) attached to some bags. This makes them $1.34 per bag since they are B1G1. I know for sure that the Publix on Rosewood in Columbia had a lady come in and put the stickers on the bags.
check your clearance tower…..my store has betty crocker yukon mashed potatos on clearance for 79 cents……free after coupon!
My store has 16-oz strawberries for $1.25, unadvertised. Guess strawberry season is here! Time to stock up – that's half the price of frozen!
I have to agreed with Mia in that, I am finding that many of the prices listed are not what I'm finding when I actually get to the market. Not sure where the prices in the ( ) are coming from but not in Jacksonville unless I'm at the wrong market:)
Go to http://www.publix.com and check the ad for your store. It will have the prices for your area-they do vary.
I went to Publix last night & could not find the Kraft Products tearpad for the Kraft BBQ Sauce. I was looking around where the pdt was, even asked someone & they had no idea what i was talking about :( Can anyone help? Thanks!
When a q is listed as being from a tearpad or in-store dispenser, it's not necessarily in that same store (or even still available). I used to spend a lot of time wandering around stores looking for these, too, until I finally realized that. Now I just grab 2 q's from any dispenser I see in a store for a product I think I'll use so that I'll have the q's when the item does go on sale. Tearpads and dispensers are just another way of collecting coupons, if that makes sense. Hope this helps. =)
Thanks! I will have to remember to scan for coupons when shopping aisles.
i cannot stress enough the Prevacid deal Publix has through 4/23. $5 off Publix coupon any count + $6 off 14ct or 28 ct. I am going into Publix every day until the promo is over to get my 14ct Prevacid for $.55 ea. I should have a 6 month supply for the cost of one package of 14ct. THANK YOU PUBLIX!!
Thanks for your post. I got 2 of the Prevacids today. My store had them for 10.79 so I got overage. I also got the Bayer aspirin with overage. I got 1.68 in overage today, plus free Coffee Mate, free Gatorade. Great deals!!
How do you get that many advantage buy flyers? They only give out ONE at my store….they do not display them either. You have to ask for one at customer service desk:-(
I get Advantage Buy flyers in my Sunday papers and my husband's co-workers give them to me out of thiers, too. My Publix is also really good about keeping them out at the turnstyle as you enter the store. If you ever want extras you can email me and I'll get them to you for postage! Mistletoes405 at gmail dot com.
The links for Quantumatic Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser and Scrubbing Bubbles are no longer valid, :( was anyone able to print? I really need it this.
Never mind, I was able to print the Quatumatic one from thier site and also from HomeSolutions, so I end up with four coupons, awesome!!!!
Thanks Jenny.
If you are in Orlando (or anywhere where there is an Albertsons), check to see if your Publix accepts Albertson's coupons as compertitors coupons. Mine does for example. Then go to albertsonsmarkets com, look on the weekly ad and print out $4/4 General Mills products coupon. Buy 4 boxes of cereal (bogo), use $4/4 + manf. coupons, and you could get some really really cheap cereal or even a money maker!
Thanks for this info! I am in The Villages and they will take Albertson's coupons.
ss 3/7 is the March 7th SmartSource insert in the newspaper…not online.
Does "SS 3/07" mean there was a coupon for the item in the March 7 Smart Source? If so, can someone tell me how to access that particular date on the SS website? Thanks.
I dont think you can go back to a particular date online. You can only see what is on SS currently.
Oh, that's a good reason to print all the coupons even if you don't plan to use them that week- I suppose? Thanks!
SS 3/7 means that there was a smart source coupon insert in the Sunday Newspaper on March 7th. It's a paper coupon, not a printable coupon. Hope that helps!
What does the (IE) and (FF) mean behind the printable link?I cant get those coupons to print.
IE – Internet Explorer and FF is Firefox
If I spend $25 at Publix + buy the BP gas card for $50 can I use a $10 off $50 competitor coupon also? Also is the $25 before or after coupons?
$25 before coupons and I would ask if they would except the $10 off $50, depends on your store.
The $1 off Alaskan pollok coupons can be used for the Mrs. Paul's fish sticks. (It's in the fine print.) I'm sure your cashiers will fight it at first, but just point out the fine print and the ingredients list on the box of fish sticks. Mrs. Paul's is the only fish stick company that uses "Alaskan" pollok… at least, the only one I've found.
Where do you find the alaskan pollock coupon? Thanks
Ooops! Coupons.com Zip that works -> 32301
I cannot find the store coupon for midol, I got the adj flyer and it wasnt in there. Is this an old store coupon?
it's listed on a coupon along with multiple other meds in the green advantage flier. I almost missed it too!
It is in the green flyers dated 2/27 to 3/26. I found it on the page with the slimfast and colon health (its above the colon health coupon) the coupon reads save $2 on any alieve midol bayer once a day flinstones alka seltzer philips. I didnt think I had it either and came here to check. Glad I went back and looked through the flier again!
Can someone help me we this, Im in Jacksonville FL, the Scrubbing Bubbles is not in the ad but it is the same price at $7.99 my question is I printed the coupon for $5 but the words are for "on one scrubbing bubbles Automatic shower cleaner starter kit" are you guys useing this one for the Power Sprayer starter? I know that the one for Publix does includes both. Is there another $5 coupon for the scubbing Bubblespower sprayer? Thanks,
Forgot to ask also, is the Finish Quantumatic on sale here in FL? I don't see it in the ad and at my store is $9.99.
Right – it's not on sale in Florida (well maybe just here in Jax), and my store had it at $9.99, too. The ad has another Finish product on sale. Sometimes (not often) this happens.
I live in central Florida and it was 8.99 at my store.
$8.99 in Palatka (just South of you). I was disappointed to see that price. Maybe our stores will have it on sale before the coupons expire.
Joe – there is a $3.00 off The Scrubbling Bubbles Kit in the store coupon flyer "One Store One Stop". I found this flyer at the front of my Publix on Duval Station Rd tonight. The coupond reads "on any ONE Scrubbing Bubbles Power Sprayer Starter or Automatic Shower Cleaner Starter Kit. So the $5.00 one you printed, plus this one will make it free.
The $3 off coupon does say for the Sprayer Starter, but the $5 off is only for the Automatic, tha'ts why I was asking if there is another $5 off coupon, some where out there.
My $5 coupon printed off only for the sprayer starter kit. I did print my coupon over a week ago, though. Maybe the manuf. has since changed the coupon setting online?
I finally found a link with the coupon, thanks for your help guys. Also I believe this is a new coupon so try it you might get two more.
I found the coupon at Right at Home I think is a new one but not too sure, you might want to go to the site it might let you print two more.Click on the sprayer power game and the coupon is on the lower right hand side, you don't have to play the game to get it.
Just got back from Publix in Vestavia. The green giant coupons would not double so I didn't get those items. Now I am thinking that 50 cents a box is still pretty good so I might go back by there. I
If you picked up coupons at any Weight Watchers meetings in January and February you may have picked up the coupons for 75 cents off of jolly time popcorn (made them 25 cents tonight!) Also in the same flyer there were $1 off and 75 cents off of the Weight Watchers frozen novelties. I bought two boxes: one was $2.50 after coupon and the other $2.75. Not bad for those items.
Picked up the Yellow sales flyer at the front of the Publix in Vestavia. There was a coupon for $1.50 off of two Kashi pizzas, which are on sale for $5 each this week. Also there were some coupons for Healthy Choice items. I bet they go on sale soon.
Harris Teeter had coupons in the Review Appeal (paper they throw in your driveway for free every Tuesday in Franklin, TN) today. There was a $5 off a $40 purchase and 8 $.50 off of any item coupons. These made the Goldfish that Publix has on sale for $1.00 only $.50 for me tonight!!! I actually got more than one of those inserts and Harris Teeter says only one insert/VIC household so it made sense to use the extras at Publix.
At the Publix in Trussville off of Deerfoot Parkway, there are .55 cents off ONE Sauve shampoo or conditioner! I was alerted to this deal by my SIL this morning. They have the booklets behind the service desk. They are Personal Concierge booklets. They are also store coupons. This makes the Sauve shampoo like .45 cents each!
We also have starwberries on sale for $1.25 each or 4 for $5 for the 16oz size. The 32 oz sizes are $2.50 each or 2 for $5. They have looked & smelled good!
One other tip here. I am a cashier at this store. I have been told by my store manager that Publix coupons do NOT expire, ever. As long as the coupon says Publix coupon (must be a store coupon for this to work), then it is still good!!!
Are you kidding me? Is this a store policy that might be posted somewhere? Do all managers know this? How about the cashiers?That would be awesome if it were true…unfortunately for me, I tossed out some awesome coupons that expired at the end of March :(THanks for any replies….
When I was getting a raincheck last week for the Chocolate Cheerios, I pointed out that the Publix coupon expired on 4/4 and the cashier told me they really don't care if a Publix coupon expires. He said they just throw them away. I also found a Publix coupon for two free shopping bags on a pack of batteries a few weeks back that actually expired sometime in 2009. The cashier that day told me if the coupon was still attached to the item it didn't matter what the expiration date is.My question would be: If the expiration dates don't matter to them, why do they put them on there in the first place????This might be one of those YMMV kind of things…..never hurts to ask. I guess I will start saving ALL my Publix coupons, just in case :-)
I am having no luck finding the Freschetta pizza coupon. Atlanta paper seem to miss out on some of the great Q's you list. What's up?
Newspaper coupons are regional. Although a majority of the coupons are pretty much the same nationwide, depending on where you live, you might be missing some coupons or yours might be a different value. In general, larger metro area papers tend to have higher value coupons. Jenny's area usually has much better coupons than what I can find here in Central Florida – lucky lady! For example, I looked for the Dove hair care product coupon for my CVS trip. Most blogs had it listed as $1.50/1 and mine was $2.50/2…
Heres an Idea. Publix has there Nabisco snack pack cookies bogo. The New Facebook coup that could be printed this past monday is good for bogo on a box up to 26 oz with the purchase of 1 gal of milk. So you can get 2 boxes and 1 gal of milk for around 5 dollars. Not sure if this is a great deal but my kids were super happy.
I did this exact thing. Loved it!
just wanted to let you know that our Publix @ Lee Branch in B'ham Alabama only takes the following competitor coupons: Walgreens, Target, Winn Dixie and some Brunos. We don't take Kroger or Food Lion. Each Publix takes different competitor coupons. They take the stores that are close to them.
This is the same store I shop at Stacy. I love it! I almost always shop on Sunday morning and will go out of my way to go through the same cashiers line (Joyce). She is very supportive of my couponing! My only small complaint is that this store rarely seems to have the coupon books (other than the green and yellow advantage buy flyers).
I shop at Lee Branch also –and I also always go to Joyce. She is great and can't wait to see how much I save. Another one that's good is Judy.
Not sure where to post this but wanted to let everyone know you can get a B1G1 coupons on Tropicana's site for 1 pt today only. It's for the Trop50 kind and expires 4/21!!
You can get a coupon for $1.00 off 2 boxes of the quaker chewy granola bars off the quaker website if you enter to win the afterschool rocks sweepstakes at quakeroats.com
For those of you who have an EarthFare coupon book from December (those of us in Chattanooga received them opening day), there is a $1/2 manufacturer coupon for Immaculate Cookie Dough. Stack that with the Greenwise store coupon and it's .04/ea if you have two Greenwise coupons or $1.08 for two otherwise. :)
Thank you. I have those coupons and will do the deal!
Do you think that publix would have a problem with coupons printed on bright orange colored paper? I bought two reams at a garage sale for super cheap and would rather use those than buy white paper…
i've printed them on shocking hot pink before!
I doubt it. I always print mine on scratch paper and never have a problem. They've even taken coupons that have all kinds of other stuff printed on them because I accidentally printed with the used side on the front instead of the back-lol. Publix does not seem to be too picky about their coupons.
Question: Publix will take competitor coupons but will they take competitor gift cards??I just got a $5 Wal-Mart gift card in the mail today (not sure what the promotion is, the Wal-Mart listed on the mailing is not the closest one to me, about 30 minutes away and apparently the whole neighborhood got them, my grandmother lives next door and she got one, they're all addressed to "resident"). I'm wondering if Publix would take it b/c I absolutely DESPISE going to Wal-Mart……I'll use it at Wal-Mart if I have to, $5 is $5, but I'd rather not have to go there.
Highly doubt it. Never came across that situation before, but it isnt likely that the registers would even recognize it.
Very, very, very unlikely. Unlike coupons, gift cards are specific to a corporation's computer system. If Publix took competitor's gift cards, there would be nothing to stop people from putting $0.01 on a Walmart card then taking it to Publix and telling them it's worth $100…
Thanks Jenny! I've been following your website for about 5 months and I get better and better at saving. Some of my friends don't believe the small amount I spend on groceries and don't believe it's possible…but it is!! Today, my publix trip was very successful – spending $31 on a grocery bill that would have been $93 without coupons and sales – an ALL TIME HIGH!! Yippie!
I spent about the same amount this week. My friends can't figure out how I do it! I tell them all the time to check out this site! Jenny, thanks again for all you. YOu taught me a new way to shop and my family is so thankful.
Does Publix have a set restocking date for all of them or is it different for all stores?
It's probably different for every store. I ask the manager when they expect to get things in again.
Does anyone know if the huggies rebate with $35 purchase is before coupons?

Question about the green giant vegetables… When I went to print off the qs the only ones that printed out are for the steamers. Are the steamers included in the sale or is it just the boxed veggies????
I got on here to look for the answer to this same question… Guess I will take my q's just in case.
It says on the coupon "when you buy any green giant frozen vegetable". You can use it on the boxed vegetables. The steamers were not included in the sale at my store because their ounces size is too big.
Jenny, The Publix Loratidine tablets with coupon are still not as good a deal as the $4 price lock at BiLo if that is still going on which I think it is.
Can someone tell me, if a coupon says "expires 4/8/10" and I go shopping on 4/8, will the coupon work or is it expired?Thanks!
It will work.
I know this is a little late; however, for future reference, it is good until closing time on the date of expiration! Hope this helps. :)
I just wanted to say that I love your site! Also, there have been a rash of peelie stealers at my store lately and I am sure it is people who don't realize that it is stealing. I know I did take some when I first started couponing over a year ago. I know that you have posted about this in the past…coupon etiquette…but it is so bad at my store in Charleston, sc that CS has been keeping those behind the counter and not putting out some. The meat manager gave me some of the Tombstone $3/2 tearpad Q's the other week and said that they were just not putting these things out anymore b/c of current stealing conditions…just not fair to the rest of us who would leave some for the next fellow SS'er! Thanks for all you do for all of us, Jenny!
I completely agree. Today ALL of the peelies from the strawberries ($1 off when you buy reddy whip) were removed. ALL of them.
My Publix doesn't do anything with peelies, but they take the blinkies and tape them to the products.
Just bought my 3 bottles of CoffeeMate for $0.60 total. I could not find the Green Advantage Magazine at my Publix, so I opted out of the Midol. Thanks for all of the deals! :)
Our publix is now putting peelies, tear pads and the booklets combined together at customer service. Only one each of the tear pad type coupons, but hey, atleast I was able to get some coupons today! Publix rocks!
I went to buy the Midol but the printable coupon is for 20 ct + and the box that is $3.69 is only 16 ct….anyone else have this problem? Is there another manufacture coupon that I am missing to stack with the store?
I honestly didn't catch that on the Midol printable. My Publix took it anyway.
They still took mine!!
Flintstone gummie vitiamns are FREE plus 1.31 in overage!!Use store coupon $3 off, Manufactur $1 and walgreen $4 off!!
my son loves these, where did u find the $4 off wag coupon?
I live in Charleston and it was in the walgreens sunday ad. You might be able to print it off their website with area code: 29456And I made a mistake, You only get .31 overage not 1.31 overage because the publix coupon is only $2 off. GOOD LUCK
I got the flintstone gummies free just Tuesday and then today publix told me they could no longer take walgreens coupons. They also said they no longer would stack the three coupons, just two( competitor and manufacter) This really messed up my day:(
There is one more coupon for Quaker Chewy Bars – it's $1/1 from those Quaker oatmeal boxes.
Buy 2 Quaker chewy bars $2.99 (BOGO)use 2 $1/1Pay $0.99 for TWO BOXES
MIne from the oatmeal box is for $1/2. I didn't know they would be different. Bummer for me.
Oh, almost forgot – didn't see it posted anywhere on the websiteThere is a $1 off any Pampers wipes in Publix Future Friendly Bookletwipes are on sale for $2.65 this week, combine the $1 coupon with $0.50 coupon (from some recent insert) and get a box of wipes for $1.15
I've only gone to Publix about 3 times. Tonight the cashier told me they accepted expired coupons that are only 4-5 days old….HOWEVER, this will change May 1st. They also will no long accept other store coupons from drug stores or dollar stores.
She said it will have to be a Super Target, Walmart….somewhere that has a pharmacy, food…ect.
Just thought I'd let you guys know!!!
Oh how I wish I could have foud that "One stop one store" booklet
There is a $1 off Charmin in the PG coupon book from a while back which has a "Pampers" cover and is about the size of a checkbook. There is also a couple of $1 off Charmin and Bounty in the new PG coupon book called " A year of savings" with the Olymics logo on the front.
there is a q for 1$/2 for northland juice on their website if you sign up for emails
Funny Story: I went to Publix for my weekly shopping trip and I was so excited to see 2 big stacks of the Greenwise magazines so I could get a couple cheap packages of cookies. Well I grabbed two and flipped them over, and of course someone had ripped the coupon out. I checked a couple more and they also had the coupon ripped out. I went through both stacks (about 30 or so) magazines and EVERY coupon was ripped out!! I guess someone really needed that many packages of cookies. I just laughed and brought them to customer service, who also just laughed and shook there heads. Who ever you are, I hope you gain 3 lbs for every cookie you eat!!! LOL
The coupons are only in the Greenwise magazines that are mailed to your house. The ones in the stores do not have coupons in the front.
Those are the Family magazines but the Greenwise magazines in the store have coupons throughout. And the spring Greenwise is the one with the cookie dough coupon that is on sale this week.
That is so wrong. People if you really don't need, notice I said need that many coupons, PLEASE STOP TAKING THEM!!!!!! That to me shows a lot of selfishness on your part. Allow others to get the deals too.
You all are crazy people. If you MUST know sometimes managers tell associates (usually costumer service) to rip out certain cupons and tape them to certain products so they can sell them more and advertise them. That I know because I've done this and I've worked there for years.
I wonder if Publix employees tore out the coupons because they did not want to lose money on them.
I live in Louisiana and we don't have a Publix, but I always see what great deals they have. I am going to Orange Beach, AL in a few weeks and am VERY excited to see they have a Publix down the street from the condo we will be staying in!! I'll let ya know how I make out when I get back :)
Just left Publix, they had a new coupon book w/$15 in coupons, including Betty Crocker potatoes, and Hamburger Helper Qs. I believe the title was Spring Savings.
I couldn't find the scrubbing bubbles sprayer kit on sale (georgia). Anyone else have this problem?Argh
I don't think it is on sale… it's 7.99 regular price. My store is out but the coupons don't expire for a while.
My Publix has the Auto Shower Kit at $16.99. Am I missing something, looking at the wrong item?
The item everyone is referring to is the Power Sprayer Starter, not the Auto Shower Kit. The Sprayer Starter is a bottle with "Daily Shower" on the front.
I think this is the automatic spray cleaner, not the automatic shower cleaner.
there's a scrubbing bubbles shower kit coupon in March "All You"
Did anyone mention that Arm & Hammer toothpaste is 2/$3? There is a $2.50/2 q in the 3/21 SS. You'll get two tubes of paste for 25¢ each!
I noticed this too and was wondering if someone had already posted it!!!!
There is $1.50 off any 2 kashi frozen pizzas in the Publix "springs savings" booklet….
I have a question. When it says, "so and so's" booklet (store coupon)…. how do you get that??? Thanks, it would be helpful to know wher eto get these store coupons/booklets!
I meant to reply – not hit like – sorry :) You find these at the customer service desk – they have them behind the desk so that people do not take entire stacks.
Mine are found in the spinny rack with the regular ads or in the cardboard display racks throughout the store. But, others have to askfor them at the CS desk.
I decided to do a search for Publix Coupons on Ebay, out of curiosity. I found one seller with 12 listings of (10) $3 off 2 Tombstone Pizzas. Many of the listings said that he had 2 available. I calculate that he has at least 180 of these coupons for sale right now. At 2.99 for each set of 10, thats 53.82 plus the extra 25¢ or so he makes by charging 99¢ shipping charge. This is just one seller. There are probably many more. I do not object to people selling full inserts or even clipped coupons, because at some point, someone had to pay something for them. Selling tearpad coupons is different. To me, this is selling stolen items and constitutes fraud.
Selling any coupons is just wrong to me. If you don't need them, leave them for someone who does. I find it repulsive that someone profits from anothers need to save money. Just my opinion.
I agree with you 100%!
Didn't know where else to put this: At Wal-Mart today (I only had to go there for Eggs and Tostitos) there was a great coupon! The Pelham Rd. Wal-Mart in Greenville, SC has the following : Tostitos on sale for $1.98 and then a coupon on every bag for $1 off that. Then…there's a tear pad by the Lays Potato chips for: if you buy 2 bags of Tostitos get one bag Kettle cooked chips or Rold Gold Pretzels for FREE! That's 3 bags of GOOD chips for $1.96!!
Printing coupons from Windows 7: having problems printing coupons from some sites. The sites basically say they don't work with Windows 7. Does anyone know a way around it?
I'm confused by the price in the parenthesis by the sale price. Under that it lists the coupons and the price after coupons is based on this price. What's going on?
If it's a parenthesis beside a bogo item, and you don't live in FL, it's how much 1 item costs. If you live in FL you have to buy two items and get one free but everywhere else you essentially just pay 1/2 price.
$2/2 peelie on the Townhouse Crackers, making them .995 per box. Worked with $1 off Dasani deal as well.
I came across an excel spreadsheet that you could put your coupon info in and now I can't find the link
I went to Publix the other day for the first time and I could not find any tear pads, where are they located? I even asked the Manager and he didn't know what I was talking about. I assumed they were by the products but couldn't find any. Please help!!!!!
These are a random thing. They are usually placed by the supplier. Often times you will find them attached to the shelf right by the item. It varies what is at which store tho.
Help??My Publix changes over their ads on Wednesday. I just went by the store and they are already changing over all the signs to the new ad, but i want a few items from last week's ad that ends today. Does that mean that i can not get the deals anymore or are the signs just taken down?
The sales are still good thru closing tonight!! AND if they are posting new sale signs they MUST honor them today!!
You can still get the deals. They've just started taking down the signs. My store does this too.
Looking for a deal on something specific?
