[ grocery ] :: weekly deals at publix

It's a brand new week of grocery deals! Here are some of my picks for items that I'll be stocking up on. Go to Southern Savers to see other deals - maybe there is something you need on sale!

Publix: Weekly ad here. I'm not super impressed with the sales at Publix this week - there are a lot of convenience-type packaged foods on sale. Typically, "lunchbox foods" or foods for kids will be on sale in late-August and September because it's back-to-school time. I'll be keeping a lookout for end-of-season summer produce for the next few weeks, though! 

Every week, Publix publishes a "Penny Item" that is valid on the first day of their weekly sale. Here in the Metro Atlanta area, it's on Thursday for most stores. However, you do need the Penny Item coupon, located in the Living section of the AJC. (Note: sometimes the AJC has a $5 off Publix coupon, too!) So, in order to get the Penny Item for the week you need your coupon and you have to spend $10 in groceries before coupons. Easy-peasy!



This week's Penny Item is Publix Tortilla Chips, limit 1. The Hubs will be so happy!

And, there is a gas card deal this week at Publix. Buy $50 worth of groceries, and get $10 off a $50 gas gift card. This offer is good from 9/6 to 9/8 and you need the coupon from the weekly ad to get this deal!

I'm not sure if I'll be getting this deal this week, since I don't need $50 worth of stuff from Publix (unless I stock up on more canning supplies). I have gotten this deal in the past and it has been totally worth it though - Shell gift cards do not require an activation fee, so you get $10 in free gas! These make great gifts, too.

Lipton Iced Tea Brew Tea Bags, 24 ct: $1.24
Wish-Bone Dressing, 16 oz: $1.46 (buy 2, use a $1 off 2 coupon to get it for $0.96 each)

New York Style Bagel, Mini Bagel, or Pita Chips, 5-9 oz, $2.00 (use a $1.00 off coupon to get it for $1)
