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!!!

Lowes Food Match-Ups 3/10 - 3/16

 
Nothing is as good as the Grocery Game, if you haven't been to a Coupon Makeover Class and do not know how it works, you should check it out!

If you are not interested in the Grocery Game just yet, this Match-up is the next best thing:)

"Match-ups" are when you match a coupon with a SALE to get the items for cheap, cheap cheap!

 Check your Instasave before you shop - deals vary from customer to customer.

Instasave CAN be stacked with a Manufacturer coupon - so use both whenever possible.

In my Coupon Makeover Classes, I briefly talk about combining coupons to use on 1 item - or "stacking" coupons.

You can do this with a STORE coupon (usually in flyers, on the stores website or even found in Sunday Papers) and a Manufacturer Coupon (the ones that you get in the Sunday paper).

You are using 2 coupons on 1 item - a STORE coupon plus a MANUFACTURER coupon.
