However, this added bonus comes with a slightly more expensive check. "Prices are higher than most other stores," says Shannon McCaig of grocery site Passionate Penny Pincher. But if you spend a little time developing your strategy, you can find great pricing that will make Publix more affordable.

1. Choose BOGO

Publix is ​​the master of buy one, get one free (BOGO) deals. The chain often offers this type of sale to its customers, and you don't always have to buy two products to take advantage. At most Publix stores, you just need to buy one item and you'll get it half price.

Sale prices at Publix are about 5-15% lower than regular prices at Walmart, McCaig said. And if the item for sale does not match the declared price, you will receive it free of charge within Publix Promise.

2. View local ads

Not everyone wants to mess around with coupons, but you should at least look at the "Extra Savings" flyer (sometimes called "Advantage Buys"). It's located right outside the main entrance to most Publix stores, and the grocery chain offers a new release every two weeks. This flyer contains both store coupons and an overview of all the sales going on in the store.

You can also check out the app Publix, which has digital copies of flyers and coupons, or just wander down the aisles the next time you're in the store. Publix usually does a good job of labeling when products are on sale. According to the Krazy Coupon Lady website, it launches new deals every Wednesday or Thursday, depending on Publix's location.

The best part is that you don't need to be a member of a loyalty program to enjoy the benefits. However, it may be worth signing up for a Publix account to receive alerts and offers sent directly to you.

3. Use all coupons

In addition to their own coupons, Publix stores usually accept most other coupons: manufacturer coupons, online coupons, and coupons from nearby competitors. It depends on the store, so check the rules. Plus, McCaig says you can use a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon on the same item for double the savings.

“Cashiers will always help you if it's your first time using a coupon - they're great at helping out and are used to coupons,” says McCaig.

4. Buy a store-brand product

Store brands can really save you money, and in many cases the product is almost identical to the national brand. The grocery store chain is represented by three brands: Publix, Publix Premium and Greenwise. The Publix brand is the store's main brand, while Publix Premium specializes in high quality ingredients and flavors such as extra virgin olive oil, as well as special limited edition ice cream flavors.

According to McCaig, the Publix store's trademark quality is on par with Target, and she has "never been disappointed."

Consisting of organic USDA products with no artificial preservatives or flavors, the Greenwise store brand combines quality and value. "It's amazing," says McCaig.
