ARTICLE IN JAX TIMES UNION TODAY

Below is an article that was in the Jacksonville Times Union this morning. I already read a comment on a blog that the 312 store will NOT be accepting ANY competitor coupons anymore. It is up to each store to list their competitors. I think they would have been better still accepting competitor coupons but limiting the number you can use. The 312 store will put their policy into effect on Saturday. We still have to see what the others will be doing. I will post all stores as soon as they determine who will be their competitors!

The sad part is it looks like they will no longer accept CVS $/$$ coupons anymore!

PUBLIX TO SOON CHANGE COUPON POLICY

Publix Super Markets Inc. stores soon will implement a "unified coupon" policy, accepting coupons from nearby competitors as though they were their own, according to a company spokesman.

Because the policy states "nearby" competitors, what stores that entails depend on where the Publix store is located. Each store is to identify competing stores from which coupons will be accepted. Those will be posted at each Publix store, Publix spokesman Dwaine Stevens said.

Competing pharmacy coupons are good only toward prescriptions, according to the policy. Publix will accept only one manufacturer coupon per item, Publix coupons and valid Internet coupons — as well as those from competitors. But the chain will accept a manufacturer's coupon and a Publix or competing store's coupon on the same item.

The chain will not accept coupons giving a percentage off an item or order total. Competing coupons must be used for identical items, and manager approval is necessary for individual coupons for more than $5.
