  1. What was the deal on the free wipes? I'm about out and haven't seen any deals for them out lately.

  2. If you have the time would you mind posting what the deals are on the (FREE) Huggies and (MM) the maybelline eye makeup. Thanks in advance.

  3. There was/is (? I don't know if it's still available) a $2/1 any "Huggies Diaper product" coupon printable that could be used on wipes. The soft packs are regularly $1.99, so it makes them free.

    Maybelline eye pencils are $2.49 and there's a $2/1 Maybelline product Publix coupon in the Green Advantage Buy flyer and $1/1 mq's floating around (I found a tearpad at Walgreens)- made them $.51 over/each.

  6. Hey Brandy....quick question (kinda) :)

    This coming week at Publix, the Bayer Blood sugar monitors are on sale for $14.99. If you have the Q for them (the one up to $30, will they manually input the amount or will the register take it for $30? I've only used them at the drugstores, so I wasn't sure how Publix registers would read them. Thanks!!!

    Bethany, hmmm- I don't know? I suspect it would ask for a price to be entered as it does at drugstores.

    Tsha- I usually try to post any I see on the first or second day of the sale week, and iheartpublix.com posts the super-deals of the week. The longer you do this, you'll know more prices and start to recognize what may be a mm based on pricing and coupons. :)
