BOGOF Coupon question?

[buzzandwoodysmom07]

How do you think the store will handle this? They have Quaker breakfast bars on sale at a local store - Buy One, Get One Free. I also have a coupon for Buy One Get One Free - so do I buy one and get 2 free or do I get them both free since they will take the value of 1 package off the total?

Scan item #1 = register states $2.00 (fictional price)
Scan item #2 = register states $0.00
Subtotal, $2.00

Scan coupon = -$2.00 for free item

TOTAL, $0.00

TIP: if the store requires a loyalty/rewards card to get the sale price of FREE on the second item, have them scan it AFTER the coupon.

At my stores BOGOFs are really half price. I can only buy one and get it at 50% off without having to get a second one so if it is a regular price of $2.00 on sale for BOGO here that would be $1.00 each, so with the free coupon, $1.00 for 2.

I would think that each store would handle this differently.

I know with "free" coupons I have been able to get two free when the store has them BOGO. I have never tried with BOGO BOGO.

I used that coupon Sunday and I bought one and got two free. This particular store rings BOGOFs at half price.

that's how it works at my local Kroger store. I actually prefer it that way, too. Sometimes I don't want 2 of something, LOL! Especially if I have a coupon that makes only buying one a VERY good deal

All the grocery stores I go to. When it is BOGO, it is just that you buy one and then get one free. Not half price. Now with 2/$1 (or whatever) you get the single item for 50¢ but not with BOGO.

I frequent Harris Teeter. If it's BOGO free, you have to buy two items. IF you only buy one....you pay full price. I like it better when they price things 2/1.00, then you can buy just one if you want and pay half.
