Publix buy one get one (BOGO) offers are tied to their weekly sale ad. So if your Publix switches to a new sale ad every Thursday (like my Florida store does), that’s the day you’ll see new BOGO deals arrive on the shelves. But if you live in an area where the weekly ad changes on Wednesdays, your BOGO deals will start a day earlier.

Most Publix BOGO deals are only valid for a week, but some deals may stick around for multiple weeks. If you’re shopping in-store, you’ll usually find these extended BOGO deals at the end of an aisle, with signs indicating they’re part of a “More Savings to Love” promotion.

When you pair manufacturer coupons or Publix store coupons with BOGO offers, you’ll boost your savings even higher than the standard 50% — and it’s totally allowed. You’ll just need a free Club Publix account to clip their store coupons. 

The most valuable Publix BOGO deals are typically on beer, wine, soda, detergent, and name-brand coffee.

Must purchase two items to get the discount

Publix is one of the many grocery stores that offers rain checks, and the Publix rain check policy definitely applies to BOGO deals. Just head to the customer service desk and ask for a rain check if you find that a BOGO you want is out of stock. You’ll be able to claim the sale price for 30 days, and you can use the rain check to buy up to eight single items (or four total BOGO deals).
