Save Half on Groceries

Coupon clipping is an easy and fast way to save money. Simply keep the inserts from the Sunday paper with the date marked on the outside cover. When you see the coupon listed on Patch that you need, you will know exactly where to find it. But, if you are not one who wants to save coupons, you can still save at the market. This week especially, there are a lot of printable coupons to combine with the sales. Simply take five minutes to print your needed coupons and head out the door.

Saving money at is easier than at other stores. This is because each week they have a selection of items that are buy one, get one free. These deals do not need to be bought in sets of two. They are half off. Combine this sale with coupons and shoppers can save a lot of money at Publix.

Many of the items on the list of sale items at Publix this week are ones that local charities are requesting. Please take the time to buy extra this week and drop off at local churches or at MUST Ministries.

If you shop on Thursday at Publix, be sure to bring the Publix Mystery Item coupon with you from the Thursday newspaper. If you spend $10 before coupons, you can get Publix hot dogs for a penny with this coupon. If you forget your coupon, ask if you need it. Sometimes it is needed and sometimes it is not.
