This week’s penny item is Publix Hot Cocoa.
The penny item coupon is valid for use on Sunday and/or Monday. The actual coupon can be found in the ad located in the Sunday paper (usually on the front cover). Florida does not participate in the penny item promotion. Let me know if your store offers a different item!
Attached to the front page of the News-Press was a “tag” from Publix, stating: “Publix a gift for you”. The top portion was removed from the non-stick portion beneath it and the words: “Order online at…publix.com/gift. Well, I went to that site and it told of a “penny” deal of the week – on the 13th and 14th of December. The item being Publix Hot Cocoa. Now, and this is the kicker, it further states that Florida does not participatein the penny item promotion. My question is” :Why does Publix waste an untold and probably extremely high amount of money advertising something that is not available?
I do my main grocery shopping at Publix and like the people and atmosphere of the Publix stores. Keep up the good work…but stop wasting money on foolish unproductive promotions.
Sincerely,
Ken Tibbetts
The publix in Cartersville had run out of the Hot Cocoa early in the day yesterday and was sub. Betty Crocker Frosting instead… good timing for Christmas cakes!
