Top Tips to Save Money at Publix

Join Club Publix (It’s Free!) 

Sign up for a free Club Publix account at publix.com or via the app. Benefits include:

  • $5 off your next $20+ purchase for new members.
  • Personalized digital coupons and early access to deals.
  • Birthday perks, like a free treat.
  • Notifications for BOGO on your favorites. Enter your phone number at checkout for automatic savings.

Shop the Weekly Ad and BOGO Deals 

Check the weekly ad on the Publix app or website (new ads typically start Wednesday or Thursday). Publix’s famous BOGO (Buy One, Get One Free) deals often feature healthy items like fresh produce, yogurt, chicken, or whole-grain products. 

Pro tip: Stock up on non-perishables (e.g., nuts or canned beans—no added sugar/salt) but only buy what you’ll use.

Clip Digital Coupons 

In your Club Publix account, clip digital coupons—they redeem automatically with your phone number. Look for deals on produce, dairy, GreenWise (organic) items, or lean proteins. Bonus: Stack digital coupons with BOGO or sales for bigger savings.

Check Extra Savings 

Visit publix.com/savings/extra-savings for in-store-only deals (not always in the weekly ad). These often include healthy snacks, vitamins, or staples.

Stack Coupons Wisely 

Publix accepts manufacturer coupons, store coupons, and even competitor coupons. Stack them on sale items. Focus on healthy brands with manufacturer deals.

Plan Meals Around Sales 

Build your weekly meals based on the ad. If salmon or chicken is BOGO, plan protein-rich dishes. Prioritize produce sales for fresh salads and smoothies.

Prioritize Healthy, Budget-Friendly Options 

Save and stay nourished by:

  • Shopping the store perimeter for fresh produce, meats, and dairy (healthier than processed center aisles).
  • Choosing GreenWise or organic deals when available.
  • Opting for frozen or canned fruits/veggies (no added sugar/salt) for nutrition and longer shelf life.
  • Stocking bulk items like oats or beans on BOGO.

Use the Publix App 

Build shopping lists, clip coupons, view ads, and check for delivery/curbside promotions all in one place.

These strategies can help you save big while filling your cart with wholesome foods. Happy shopping!
