New Publix Coupon Policy

If you are a Publix shopper and haven’t heard: Publix now has a printed coupon policy.  I found the new policy on a 4″ x 5″ sheet of paper.  One side has the coupon policy and the other has the stores which that particular Publix considers a competitor.

The Publix coupon policy states:

Publix accepts maufacturer’s coupons (limit one per item), Publix coupons (originals only-no copies), valid Internet coupons, and coupons from nearby competitors identified by each Publix store. (Competitor names are posted at each Publix store.)  We will not accept percent-off-items or percent-off-total-order coupons. We will only accept coupons for identical merchandise we sell. Acceptance is subject to any restrictions on the coupon, and we reserve the right to limit quantities. Manager approval is needed for individual coupons above $5.00. For a buy-one-get-one free (BOGO) offer, each item is considered a separate sale. We will accept a manufacturer’s coupon and either a Publix or a competitor coupon on the same item. Dollars-off-total-order coupons will be limited to one Publix and one competitor coupon per order. The order total must be equal to or greater than the total purchase requirements indicated on the coupon(s) presented.

Additionally, a sign at the register stated:

Attention Valued Customers:

Effective May 23rd 2011

We will only accept:

Kroger

As a competitor coupon at this location.

We don’t accept any photo copy coupons.

We will be unable to accept multiple coupons for the same item.  We will accept a vendor coupon a a Publix store coupon for the same item.  One competitor coupon will be accepted per item, per order.

We can no longer accept expired Manufacturer’s coupons.

We reserve the right to limit coupon use by transaction.

Thank you!

It is very nice that Publix now has a written coupon policy!  Have you spotted on of these signs while shopping?  I would love to hear any differences in verbiage!
