Catalytics tracks sharp rise in BOGO promotions at Publix

The trend reflects a growing focus on high-value promotions that appeal to cost-conscious shoppers.

NEW YORK — New data from global ad tracking firm Catalytics reveals a significant shift in promotional strategy at Publix, with Buy One, Get One Free (BOGO) offers now representing nearly 40% of all circular promotions year-to-date in 2025—up from just 22% in 2022. This represents an 80% increase in BOGO share over the past four years.

The trend reflects a growing focus on high-value promotions that appeal to cost-conscious shoppers. As BOGOs become more central to Publix’s circular strategy, consumer packaged goods companies are being urged to realign pricing, inventory, and promotional funding strategies to remain competitive.
