The Publix Penny Item this week is Publix Cookies.  Remember you need to spend $10 pre-coupon to get the penny item and the coupon can be found in your local paper on the day your ad starts (check section A of the Huntsville Times if you’re in North Alabama.) Florida stores do not offer the penny item (sorry, Florida readers – I hate that for you guys!)

Here are a few great donation items that match up well with the new Publix ad that starts Wednesday or Thursday (depending in your area).

Looking for places to donate to?  Consider donating items to a local Homeless Shelter, Crisis Pregnancy Centers, Inner City Schools, Backpack programs, Food Pantries or Nursing Homes. Places to donate items locally (North Alabama area) include:  Asbury has a pretty big food pantry and  Backpack Program,  305 8th street (group home), Downtown Rescue Mission local homeless shelter, local Pregnancy Center or  Lincoln Village )
