Getting to Publix on Thursday may score you a package of Publix brand vanilla wafer cookies for a penny. Bring the coupon from the Thursday AJC for the mystery item at Publix and when you spend $10 or more before coupons, you qualify to get these cookies for a penny. If you forget the coupon, ask your cashier if you can still get the item. Sometimes they allow customers to get it without the coupon, however I have been told that policy states that the actual coupon is required.
