Combining BOGO sales with BOGO coupons at Publix

[greenep]

Hi,

Last night I bought the BOGO Dixie products at Publix and combined that with BOGO coupon. Should I have gotten both items free(that's what I thought). The plates rang up 1.49 and 1.50 and then my coupon scanned and took 1.49 off. Is that clear as mud?

thanks,
pat

You are in an area where the sales ring up half price, that is why it worked out that way.

Generally, what the first item rings up is what you get off for the coupon. In Florida, the first one rings at full price so those folks get two items free with BOGO coupon + BOGO sale. For the rest of us, the first item is 50% of regular price so we end up with two items for 25% of the regular price when we combine BOGO coupon + BOGO sale.

Thanks,

I checked my receipt again and that's how it rang up one at 1.49 and the other at 1.50. So, it was still a good deal. I got 4 pkgs of Dixie sturdy plates for $3.00. I was thinking of a trip to Walgreens where I used a BOGO coupon on a BOGO item, but Walgreens rings up the first item and then the second one is $0.00
