Re: HT Super Doubles June 24-30 - Confirmed - Master List updated 6/23- #1 post I encountered problems with BOGO and coupons last week. I was trying to buy 2 6 packs of scotch brite sponges that were on sale BOGO, and the original price is $5.79. When I went to buy two packs of sponges and use my $.75/2 coupon, it beeped. The cashier got a manager to come over and she said that I couldn't use it. She said that if you have a coupon for $X/2 and an item is BOGO, you have to buy four of the item to use that coupon. I asked her where that policy was and she showed me the memo from corporate. She said it's always been the policy, but now they were enforcing it. I told her that it didn't make sense since we can use one $X/1 coupon when buying one BOGO item. I wonder how long that will last. Anyway, I just walked out of the store. She also said that the reason we can't use a $X/2 coupon on BOGO items (without buying four) is because the items now ring up (at least initially) as original price, with one being subtracted instead of them each ringing up half price. Has anyone noticed this? I wasn't paying attention when the order was being rung up, so I didn't notice whether the sponges rang up full price, with one being later taken off. Has anyone else noticed this?
