Question - BOGO at Drugstores

"I'm new to couponing and the BOGO I don't quite understand. If the store is offering BOGO and I have a BOGO coupon, then both items are free? Am I getting this correct-it seems too good to be true!!" - cleanslate77

Yes, you get BOTH items for FREE!

The BOGO (buy one get one free) at the store is one discount that the actual store is giving you.  The BOGO with the coupon is the discount that the manufacturer is giving you.

If you get one FREE from the store, the coupon for BOGO entitles you to get one item for FREE. 

Since there is only one item you are "paying" for, that is the one that the coupon is good for. 

You will also see that the coupon has a place for a price to be written in by the cashier - because they will be reimbursed for that price by the company.

At drugstores, you truly are getting BOGO. You pay FULL price for the first item and get the second item for FREE.

Most grocery stores have BOGO where you get them for HALF price - so the savings are still good but not like the drug stores.

I loved going in to Walgreens last week to get 2 FREE Purex Detergents and only paying for the tax of 36 cents!!!

  1. I went to Walgreens last week to get the Purex and they would not allow me to get them. I was told they were already buy one get one free so my coupon was no good.

  2. Did you talk to a manager? Sometimes you may come across a cashier who is not familiar with the coupon policies.

    I would call THAT store manager and ask them about the issue.

    When I went to a store, the cashier said they were all out and expected another shipment the next day. She also exclaimed "That's a really good deal to get them for FREE!"
