Updated on Wednesday, November 12, 2025: Publix has quietly built a reputation for offering strong grocery savings during the holiday shopping season. While big-box retailers push electronics and toys, Publix leans into buy-one-get-one (BOGO) deals and digital coupons on everyday groceries, personal care products, and even holiday entertaining items. With the 2025 Black Friday season approaching, we’ve pulled together what to expect, when the sales are likely to run, and a look back at last year’s deals to give a clear idea of what you will likely see this year.
Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates
Publix is expected to officially kick off its Black Friday sale on Friday, November 28, 2025. Unlike some retailers that start deals earlier in the week, Publix usually holds its major grocery savings for the actual Black Friday date.
The Black Friday ad should be released around Saturday, November 22, 2025, based on past trends. That should give you almost a full week to review the deals, plan their trips, and clip digital coupons.
Once the sale begins, the ad and matching coupon offers are expected to extend through Wednesday, December 3, 2025. For certain regions, the deals could wrap up by Sunday, November 30, so it’s smart to check your local Publix weekly ad for confirmation.
Typical Offers
Publix uses Black Friday to spotlight everyday essentials, produce, bakery favorites, frozen foods, household items, and personal care products. The biggest draw is the wide selection of BOGO offers across categories.
Some areas where savings usually stand out:
- Fresh produce like blueberries, apples, salad kits, and tomatoes.
- Dairy and alternatives including yogurts, plant-based milks, and cheeses.
- Frozen foods such as pizzas, chicken, seafood, and ice cream.
- Bakery items that tie into holiday entertaining, from cookies to croissants.
- Meat and seafood for holiday meals or game-day gatherings.
- Beverages including beer, wine, soda, and sparkling water.
- Baby essentials like diapers and wipes.
- Health and beauty with coupons and rebates stacking on top of sales.
- Holiday baking staples like sugar, flour, oils, and chocolate.
This mix makes Publix a stop for both holiday meal planning and everyday grocery savings.
Discount Levels to Expect
Most of the Black Friday discounts at Publix come in the form of BOGO offers. These are often true 50% discounts if you buy in pairs, although the savings can vary slightly depending on whether the store lets you buy just one item for half price (this rule depends on your state).
On top of BOGOs, Publix typically layers digital coupons, manufacturer coupons, and rebates. Many personal care deals fall into this category. For example, shoppers might find $5 off a $15 purchase of P&G brands like Olay, Crest, Gillette, and Oral-B, plus individual product coupons and even mail-in rebates for additional savings.
Beer and wine promotions usually appear at set price points, often with a few dollars off compared to regular shelf prices. Bakery and deli items tend to get price cuts rather than BOGOs, often in the $2 to $5 savings range.

Publix Digital Coupons and Rebates
One key part of Publix’s Black Friday savings is its digital coupon system. Shoppers can log into their Publix account online or through the app to clip offers that automatically apply at checkout.
For 2024, examples included:
- $5 off when spending $15 on select P&G products (Crest, Olay, Gillette, etc.)
- $10 rebate on $30 worth of Olay skin or personal care products
- $10 Publix gift card rebate for every $50 spent on participating items (Stocking Spree program)
- $3/2 coupon on Secret, Old Spice, or Gillette deodorants or body washes
Stacking these coupons with BOGO offers created deeper savings. This strategy is almost guaranteed to carry over into 2025.
