Publix Penny Item: Paper Towels!

Well, I was disappointed last week to find that my Publix was giving away more bleach instead of grape juice, but it mattered not, since I forgot to pick up the Wednesday paper anyway.  This week's Penny Item is:

Publix Paper Towels

Remember:  The Penny Item coupon must be presented at time of purchase.  It can be found in your Wednesday (or Thursday, if that's when your ad starts) newspaper.  You must have at least $10 worth of items BEFORE coupons are deducted to get the 1¢ item.  One Penny Item per customer.

Helpful hints for the newspaper hunt:

Chattanooga Times Free Press:  Page A9

Macon Paper:  Last Page of Section A

Atlanta Paper:  Bottom of Page D2
