CVS to the rescue!  They are trying to help us out with gas prices by launching a new program which allows you to earn FREE gas all summer!

Beginning May 22nd (and ending August 28th) , you will earn a $10 gift card to Exxon/Mobil, Shell, BP Amoco or BP Arco each week when you spend $30 on specially-marked items in the weekly CVS ad.  Of course, this is before coupons and Extra Bucks!

Each week, the qualifying products will have a “get free gas” icon in the weekly ad.  The eligible products change each week.  When you reach the $30 requirement (before coupons have been applied), a coupon will print on your receipt that can be redeemed immediately in store for a $10 gas card. You can redeem one $10 gas card per week, which means you can potentially get a total of $140 worth of FREE gas during the 14 week promotion! Find out more.

Thanks, Hip2Save

Publix Coupon Guidelines
1. Publix Takes Competitors Coupons.
2. On B1G1, use two coupons (you are getting two items.)
3. You do not have to buy two of the B1G1 items to get the sale price (In many FL locations you do have to buy both items. Check with your local store).
4. Always combine store (SC) and manufacturer (MFR) coupons. Instead of a SC, you can use a Competitor Store Coupon (CC.)
5. Many Publix locations double manufacturer coupons that are $.50 or less (Tallahassee and most FL locations do not!) Please note, my calculations are for stores that DO NOT double coupons buying two items.
6. Some Publix sales start Wednesday to Tuesday, others are Thursday to Wednesday. Call your local Publix for their sale dates.
Fore mroe coupon guidelines, please refer to the most recent Publix Coupon Policy.

TLC’s Extreme Couponing Aftermath at Publix?

Whether you have been couponing for years are you area  newbie, chances are you have heard about TLC’s newest show, Extreme Couponing.

This show has glamorized the art of clearing shelves, stockpiles that are towers high, and a lifestyle that cannot be kept up by the average individual. In fact, there has even been talk of coupon fraud on the show.

Since this show aired, there has been a lot of coupon activity. Many individuals are coming into couponing looking to save 95% on their grocery bill. While I do not claim you will never walk out of a store paying nothing, to do this weekly with your groceries is not accurate. Depending on your area (different prices of meat, regions that double, those that can use competitor coupons) you should be saving 50% to 80% on your grocery bill.

With this recent explosion of “extreme couponing”, some stores are tightening their belt…one rumor being Publix. It is said that TLC will air some “extreme couponers” at Publix in an upcoming episode. Just yesterday, Publix’s Fan Facebook page announced that they are indeed changing their coupon policy and will release it in one month’s time.

There is chat about one type of competitor coupon per transaction, competitor coupons being limited to competitor stores that house a deli, bakery, and meat department, as well as use of competitor coupons that are only in a five mile radius.*

If you are a Publix Shopper, check out this recent article posted by the Tampa Tribune – Publix May Change It’s Coupon Policy. There is good conversation going on, so leave your thoughts here, on Facebook, or on The Tribune’s Website.
