Fun and Frugal

Have I  mentioned before how much I love Publix?  :-)  Not only do they double coupons up to $.50 and let you stack competitor store coupons, but they even have lots of their own store coupons that you can stack with a manufacturer coupon.  Here’s a couple ways you can get Publix coupons in the mail like I do:

Sign up for a free subscription to Publix Greenwise Market magazine.  It will have a few coupons in it, some store coupons, some manufacturer coupons.  You can also pick up a free issue at the store, but they usually don’t have all the coupons in the mail version.  It’s mailed out 4 times per year.  I got my summer 2009 issue in the mail yesterday, which had the following coupons:

• $1 off any half-gallon Horizon Organic milk (Publix store coupon) exp. 7-31-09
• $1 off any half-gallon of Silk (manufacturer coupon, but with no barcode) exp. 7-31-09
• $.50 off any Apple & Eve Organic Juice (manufacturer coupon) exp. 9-30-09
• $1/4 6-oz cups Rachel’s yogurt or cottage cheese (Publix store coupon) exp. 7-31-09
• $2 off any Green Works natural cleaning product by Clorox (manufacturer coupon) exp. 10-31-09

You can also get a free quarterly subscripton to Publix Famliy Style magazine, which has some coupons, too.

If you have a baby under age two, join the Publix Baby Club for free and they will mail you great coupons periodically, some coupons are even for free full-sized products!  These are all Publix store coupons, which you can stack them with manufacturer coupons.  Check out other Baby Clubs here.

If you have a child ages 2-4, join the Publix Preschool Pals and they will send you quarterly newsletters and fun little prizes for your child in the mail.  Yesterday we got a pop-out frizbee.  Not sure what you call it exactly, but it came compact like some car sunshades that pop out and expand.  Both my boys thought it was so fun to make the frizbee pop out over and over.  :-)  I don’t think they include any coupons, but I still think it’s a great free program for preschoolers.

Oh, and don’t forget the cookie club at Publix.  You can get a punch card for your child and every time you visit the bakery, your child can get a free cookie and they will punch your card.  When your card is full you can drop it in the box for a drawing for a giant cookie.
