The material does not contain information about free samples, promotional offers, no-cost product trials, brand freebies, or mail-in sample programs in the categories of beauty, baby care, pet products, health, or household goods.

Understanding the Publix Weekly Ad and BOGO Program
Publix's weekly advertisement is a primary tool for consumers to plan shopping trips and access savings. According to the sources, the weekly ad typically runs from Wednesday to Tuesday, though specific start days can vary by location, with some stores beginning on Thursday. Consumers are advised to check their local store's schedule. The ad is available online at the Publix website and in paper form at store entrances.
A central feature of the Publix weekly ad is the Buy One Get One (BOGO) free offer. The sources indicate that BOGO deals are a significant way to save money, with over 100 different BOGO deals available most weeks. These offers are tied directly to the weekly sale ad and are generally valid for one week, though some may extend for multiple weeks. Examples of BOGO items from the provided data include: * Ambrosia Apples (2-lb bag) * Fresh Express Salad Kits (5-13.3 oz) * Litehouse Dressings (13 oz) * Organic Strawberries (16 oz) * Publix Deli Fried Popcorn Chicken (6.2 oz) * Stacy’s Pita Chips (6.75-7.33 oz) * Smithfield Bacon (12 to 16 oz) * Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream (14 oz) * Digiorno Stuffed Crust Pizza (21.5-26.4 oz) * Publix Pork Loin Back Ribs, frozen * Publix Premium Mussels (16 oz) * Nathan’s Famous Beef Franks (10 to 12 oz) * Weber Seasonings (2.5 – 3.75 oz) * Kingsford Charcoal Briquets * Bush's Baked Beans * Sargento Cheese Slices * Ground Chuck * Publix Cashews * Tri-Color Peppers * Grape Tomatoes * Red Potatoes
It is important to note that the availability of specific BOGO items can vary by location and store. The sources advise checking the ad specific to one's ZIP code for accurate pricing and product availability.
Digital Coupons and How to Use Them
In addition to BOGO offers, Publix provides a digital coupon program. Consumers can access these coupons via the Publix website or mobile app. The process involves signing up for a free Publix account, browsing available coupons, and "clipping" or activating the desired coupons. At checkout, the consumer enters their phone number, and the activated digital coupons are applied automatically. This method does not require clipping physical coupons.
The sources list several categories for digital coupons, including: * Fresh produce and meats * Dairy and frozen foods * Household cleaning products * Health and wellness items * Snacks, drinks, and pantry staples
Examples of digital coupons mentioned include a $1.50 savings on Country Crock products and a $2.00 savings on Hellmann’s Mayonnaise (20 oz or larger).
A key strategy highlighted in the sources is the ability to combine manufacturer coupons with Publix's BOGO offers. This allows for additional savings beyond the standard 50% discount from a BOGO deal. For instance, a manufacturer coupon for a specific brand can be used on one of the items in a BOGO pair.
Accessing Deals for Delivery and Pickup
The savings from the Publix weekly ad are not limited to in-store shopping. The sources confirm that the vast majority of deals, including BOGO offers, are available for online orders through the Publix app or Instacart.com for delivery or curbside pickup. This allows consumers to plan their shopping and apply savings without visiting a physical store. When ordering online, digital coupons can still be applied, and the weekly ad deals are integrated into the online shopping experience.
Planning and Previewing the Weekly Ad
Consumers are encouraged to plan their shopping lists in advance. The Publix website offers a "sneak peek" of the upcoming weekly ad, typically available 2–3 days before the new ad starts. This allows shoppers to identify the best deals, plan meals, and prepare any necessary manufacturer coupons ahead of time. The sources also mention that joining Publix email newsletters or signing up for app notifications is a way to receive weekly ad messages, special promotions, and digital coupon alerts directly.
Finding a Local Publix Store
For consumers looking to take advantage of these deals, Publix operates over 1,300 stores across the Southeastern United States, including states such as Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. A Publix Store Locator is available on their website to find the nearest store by ZIP code, city, or state.
