This week’s penny item is Publix Grape Juice.
The penny item coupon is now valid for one day –the day your ad begins (Wednesday or Thursday). The actual coupon can be found in the newspaper on your penny item day! Florida does not participate in the penny item promotion. Let me know if your store offers a different item!

In Chattanooga,TN Paper the Penny Coupon is on page A9 near the top on the right hand side.
I really love the penny item and really don’t mind shopping on Wed instead of Sun or Mon. but I do not receive a Wed paper or Publix ad and rely only on the internet ad so therefore, I loose out on the penny coupon.
I live in Atlanta and was used to getting the penny coupon in the Publix circular that comes with my Sunday paper. I think around the first of the year I noticed that the penny coupon was no longer in that circular so I thought the promotion no longer applied here. I just checked the AJC and I do not believe there is a Publix ad in today’s paper (although maybe I missed it). When should I expect to see the coupon in the AJC?
BTW, I grew up in Lakeland and absolutely love being able to shop at Publix in Atlanta!
I do demos at Publix and was told by the managers and employees that penny items does not have to have coupon. It says it does… but the stores don’t require them. But the $10 purchase is a must to get the penny items.
Agreed! Now they make you go out and get another paper! Not worth it!
In the Decatur, AL paper it is on A2 near the bottom 🙂
So far I have been lucky and they haven’t started requiring the actual coupon as long as you have 10 dollars worth of groceries. But I don’t want to have to start buying an extra paper either, so hopefully it will stay this way.
Melissa, ur extremely lucky that ur store doesn’t require u 2 have a Q!!My store acts all “snooty” when I ask for one,when the ad isn’t in the Sunday AJC,which happens often!!I don’t know if people steal them or what!!I have the rudest Publix store!!There’s 1 or 2 that r nice,but the rest HATE couponers!!BTW,it’s the New Hope,GA store-just so everyone knows!I’m not the only 1 who feels that way,either!!Now,I only go to that store to pick up my prescriptions.I wonder what corporate would say if I told them I no longer shop there because they’re so rude to me!!I can name name’s too!!!!Sorry,about the “outburst”,but I have friends who won’t go there anymore 4 the same reason!!!Michelle said I need to write corporate!!Maybe I will!!
I almost got aggrevated. I bought the paper just for the penny item and then there wasn’t a publix insert. I still wish the insert was there as I use it to plan my shopping and find it easier than the net…but oh, well. Thanks to Jeff’s comments above, I started looking throught the paper to find the coupon and there it was. Page 2A on the Birmingham News, AL bottom right corner. I doubt that I will continue to spend the money on the paper for the penny item; It doesn’t save after the fact. But, today I got the urge, so I did. Well…I may just try the donut recipe in the paper…it sounds good. 🙂 Happy Shopping!!
I have to buy the local Wed. for $.70 and it isn’t always worth it just for the penny item. This week I will pass. I also emailed corporate that I was unhappy with the new arrangements for the penny item. I am in Carrollton, GA. I will ask if I have to have the coupon to get the item.

The first day of the ad is Thursday for the Atlanta area, so the penny coupon should be in the Thursday AJC. HTH!
Thanks so much, Stacey! I would have missed it in the Birmingham News……very, very sneaky of them, I think!
I have to say, I can’t get used to the Penny Item being on Wed/Thurs. Why did they change it? Monday was the perfect day to go couponing, and feel like my whole routine/organization is off! 🙁 In TN, Publix changes their sale prices on Wednesday, so I’m all faclempt! Ha!
Thanks, Lindsay. I’ll look for it tomorrow. I want my grape juice!
The Publix in Madison, AL has Cabot butter (4 stick pkg) as the penny item. I was able to get last weeks without the coupon. BUT the cashier today would not let me and I only get the weekend paper so I was bummed. Regular price for the Cabot butter is $3.49.
In my middle Tn publix the penny item was kelloggs poptarts (4 count box any flavor). My store did not require the coupon today but only because they didn’t have any of the local papers (Murfreesboro or Nashville) Papers in the store, I guess they were sold out before I got there after work. I do not like the Wed. thing though. I would gladly buy a Sunday paper, the Wednesday one is worthless to me. Good Luck everyone
I don’t the AJC, but do get the Gwinnett Daily Post. There’s a Publix ad in today’s paper, but no penny item coupon. I haven’t flipped through the actual paper yet to see if it’s on a page, but am wondering why it isn’t in the Publix ad. Anyone know?
Okay…I get the Thursday Atlanta AJC and I can’t find the publix penny item coupon. Can anyone help me out?
I am in Henry County! Thanks!
Hmmmmm….Ooltewah TN store had 1 gallon bleach as their penny item. Their ad starts on Wednesday.
I picked up today’s AJC at Publix and could not find the penny item coupon. There was a Publix ad but it did not have the coupon on it. Where is the penny coupon in the AJC??
For the AJC, coupon is in the Living Section. Page D2
This may have been mentioned before, but I’m a newbie so please forgive me. I live in Orlando, FL and I’m curious as to why Publix does not offer the penny items in Florida, especially considering it’s a Florida store. Does anyone know the reason for this? We’re poor in FL too LOL and we never get any of the goodies- no double coupons, NOTHING! It’s unfortunate, because I remember double coupon days when I was a kid here in Orlando…one day they just disappeared never to return. Is it possible the state’s high population would be too large of a loss for the chain to absorb?
