Stack savings at Publix
Nexium, Zyrtec, razors: Save more by combining Publix store coupons with manufacturers coupons from the Sunday AJC. Look in Publix store racks for a purple circular that says "Over $50 in Coupon Savings" across the top. Use the $5 store coupon for Nexium (42 count) with the $2 Nexium coupon in the May 3 RedPlum to save $7. Use the $3 coupon for selected varieties of Zyrtec (24-70 count) along with the $4 Zyrtec coupon from the May 3 SmartSource to save $7 off one package. Find a coupon that gives you $10 off when you buy $20 of selected Edge, Schick Hydro and Xtreme3 shave gel and razors. Combine that high-value store coupon with multiple manufacturers coupons for the same items from the May 17 SmartSource circular ranging from $1 to $3 off items.
