I am an idiot...help me out here, please!

Okay, so CVS has B2G1 on Snickers and other Mars candy bars this week. I have seven B2G1 coupons for Mars bars left but they expire on Friday.

I'm terrible at math and am having a difficult time figuring out whether this is a good deal or not. I don't have any ECBs to burn at the moment so I'm trying to think of whether or not it's worth me running over to CVS for this.

So the question comes down to this: if it's a B2G1 sale and I have B2G1 coupons on top of it, am I really getting a decent deal or is this just a bunch of extra pounds and acne? Any thoughts are welcome.

(Yes, my math skills are horrendous...good thing I work with words for a living, LOL)

i believe you will be getting 2 free and pay for 1 with each coupon you have and the limit....i dont know how much each candy bar is, but if you really need some...i dont think itd be an awful deal to pay for one and get two free!

When it comes to CVS, unless it's on sale, their stuff is much higher than, say Walmart or my local grocery store and it would actually be cheaper to buy 3 bars with no coupon than to buy 2 at CVS and get 1 free.

I'm horrible at math too and sometimes when I start reading how someone did a deal my head just starts swimming.

do you not feel bad! you are not alone at math!!
I couldn't do a 3 dollar receipt recently.. i don't know why.... so embarassing!!

so bascially you'll get 3 for the price of one..thats not too bad

iirc, this one works out to buy one, get 5 free.


put 6 bars in the basket.

move 2 to the other side- the sale pays for them. move 2 to the other side- the (2)coupons pay for them.


oops- you are left to pay for 2. so- add up how much 2 ring up for, and that will buy 6 bars for you.

Bless you! That's exactly the type of info I was hoping someone would help me out with. I really appreciate it (well that, and not laughing at my lack of math abilities).

ETA: I should note that I'm not eating these all myself - heavens no - but am putting them in birthday goodie bags. :)
