What’s more, most Publix stores include a pharmacy, so whether you need to stock up on fresh groceries or get new health products, Publix has your needs covered.

To make sure that buying all the products you need won’t weigh heavy on your wallet, Publix offers various deals on a regular basis. Here is more on how you can save money next time you shop at this retailer.
Weekly Ads
Like many other retailers, Publix releases weekly ads that feature various deals & sales, including special prices and the ‘buy one, get one free’ deal on selected merchandise. The products that go on sale vary from groceries, such as meat and vegetables, to personal care products and pet supplies.
Weekly flyers also include coupons. For example, at the time of writing, an available coupon provided customers with a $10 off a $50 gas card purchase with $50+ grocery purchases.
The weekly flyer is released every week, and the offers included are valid for six days. Most Publix stores reset their deals on Wednesday, so shopping then can help you save on a greater variety of products as you can still find products on sale from the previous week’s deals and also take advantage of the current week’s offers.
However, many deals are valid while supplies last, so make sure to check the flyer once it is released to see if the items of interest are on sale and shop the ones you need immediately. Since the flyer is available online, you can access it from the comfort of your home and even plan your menu based on what’s featured in the latest ad.
Digital Coupons
Another easy and fast way to save is to check the digital coupon section before your next purchase. This will not only help you save money but also time if you don’t want to sift through pages of deals.
What’s more, you can make your shopping sessions even more efficient when you’re on the go by downloading the Publix app and signing up for the store’s digital coupons. You can then clip and redeem the coupons of interest using your smartphone. Plus, make sure to check the store’s policy on coupon stacking to save even further.
Like the offers featured in the weekly ad, coupons apply to a variety of products, ranging from fruits and vegetables to home products, such as laundry detergents. For example, past coupons featured a discount of $2 on two bags of Cascade ActionPacs Dishwasher Detergent or a $3 price drop on two Febreze AIR products.
To make things even easier for you, the Coupon Savings Helper at Publix will show you all the coupons available for a specific product. Just enter your store, and Publix will immediately display the advertised price for a product, all applicable coupons, and how much you’ll save by using them.
Extra Savings
Besides coupons and weekly ads, you can save by seizing the extra savings the store releases regularly. Such offers typically include products from all the major categories available at Publix. In the first week of February, there were around 900 items featured in the extra savings section, which means that it is likely for you to find something of interest on sale.
One example of past extra savings includes a discount of $3.60 on Hormel Black Label Bacon, two Coffee Mate Coffee Creamers for only $10 (which thus included savings of $1.99), or two packs of Hidden Valley The Original Ranch Seasoning for $2.00 (thus featuring savings of $0.79).
Buy One, Get One Free
In case you prefer stocking up on more products in a single shopping session, it is worth checking the BOGO section at Publix before your next shop. Here you’ll find a variety of products ranging from groceries to laundry detergents and the possibility to get a free item when you buy one of the items included in this section. Such deals are typically available only for a few days and replaced with new ones regularly.

For example, in the past, if you had bought a small fruit pie, you would have gotten one free as long as the second item was of an equal or lesser price, and you could have saved up to $3.99 on such purchases. You can thus buy more of the items you can store or freeze for later use yet keep your payments within a decent range.
