My personal couponing etiquette

Recently, I have come into a great resource for coupons. Because of this, I have been able to "step up" my coupon skills! My Publix has never taken anything but Target as a competitor (major bummer!) so having more inserts has been a big help!!
Sooo... One thing that has ALWAYS bugged me is when I go to the store and there is none of the BOGOs or sale items left on the shelf... and it is noon on the first day!So, what do I do? There are a couple of choices:
1. Ask customer service to ORDER what you need in a certain quantity
2. wait... I feel zero guilt clearing off a shelf on the last day of the sale
3. only buy what you need for the next 6 weeks. These all go in rotation every 6 weeks, so it works!
This is what I do... let me know if you have any other suggestions!

Alabaster Publix new coupon policy

So, I was informed today by the cashier at my local Publix that they were no longer taking multiple Publix Qs on the same item. I mean that, if I was doing the Italian Days sale and wanted to do all 20 items as canned veggies, I could only use 1- $1/4 PQ OR 1-$5/ 20 items Q. Before today they would have taken 5- $1/4 on the veggies AND the $5/20 PQ! The cashier was super nice and just told me that they had been doing it wrong and that the Mgmt had corrected the situation. So.. heads up!
However, they are still taking 1 MQ and 1 PQ per item!

Saved 60% at Publix today! All this for $59.47!!
