If you're in Florida, you don't get the penny item.

Sunday and Monday of each week Publix offers a mystery penny item in most stores outside Florida. You have to bring in the coupon from the paper. If you spend $10, you get to buy one of the mystery items for $0.01. The coupons usually state something like one item per coupon per customer, although I can't remember the exact wording. If you don't get a newspaper, it's worth asking at the customer service desk if they will let you get the penny item without a physical coupon. Some stores will do that.
