Publix has been around for over 88 years, making the coupon's claim for a "75th anniversary" celebration that much more suspicious.
This isn't the first time the Florida-headquartered grocery chain is seeing fake coupons circulating on social media.
Back in 2016, there was fake coupon claiming that it would give shoppers $75 off their purchase when they spend $80 or more. The grocery store chain discouraged shoppers from participating in the fake promotion.
