I have some coupons and I'm trying to figure out the proper way to use them
here's what I have
(I have several of each)
B2G1 Snapple multi-pack Publix store coupon
B1G1 Snapple multi-pack manu coupon
$1/1 Snapple multi-pack manu coupon
thanks!!
You run a good chance of confusing the cashier. :-) In theory, you could do this:
Buy (6)
Use (3) $1/1 manufacturer coupons
Use (3) B1G1 manufacturer coupons
Use (2) B2G1 Publix coupons
Remember that you'll need (2) filler items.
This depends on your store accepting $1/1 on one item and then a B1G1 on a second item. It also depends on no one getting confused when it looks like item #6 is free both from a manufacturer coupon and a Publix coupon.

...just to throw in my two cents...don't worry if the register beeps and stops taking the Qs. You just need a manager override. I don't know, maybe your store is different, but whenever my Qs get to the point of needing a filler item, my total is so low that it triggers the system to 'check with a manager' to complete the transaction. The manager just has to check the Qs, and swipe a card. Just FYI.
This was a while back, but I asked CS and they said they will take one BOGO q and one $1/1 q per two items. The "free" item applies to the bogo q and the $1/1 applies to the one you buy to get the other free. If that makes sense.

I actually think that that is incorrect, as the manuf. coupon would apply to both items in the BOGO scenario. Now, if the BOGO coupon was a Publix or competitor coupon, you could then use 2 manuf. coupons on the 2 items. As far as I know, you can't use a BOGO manf. coupon and a $$ manuf. coupon on the same combo of items, though, as that would be combining manuf. coupons.

There's no clear answer on this. Some people/stores consider that you're buying item #1 using the $1/1 coupon and then because you've bought that item, you can then use the BOGO coupon on the second item. This interpretation is consistent with the coupon verbiage "one coupon per item". However, it is not valid if either coupon says, "may not be combined with any other coupon".
Some people/stores consider the BOGO to apply to both items so you would not be able to use the $1/1 on the first item.
HCW leaves it up to the individual customer/store to decide which interpretation to use.
