Wow, this has hurt my head!

I think I have it figured out now. I know the Dr.P deal was different, but this q is more valuable (only have to buy one, as opposed to two) so I just wasn't understanding why you were going home with less.
I reread the Dr. Pepper thread - here is most of what I based my logic on:

Use two B2G1 free 8-pk Dr Pepper Publix q's form the Fire Up the Grill flyer.
The sale automatically takes off three of the cases for the BOGO.
You pay for one case at $2.99 and get 5 free.
Item 1 $2.99 You pay for this one
Item 2 $2.99 Free due to BOGO promotion
Item 3 $2.99 Free with B2G1 Publix store coupon
Item 4 $2.99 Free with B1G1 promotion
Item 5 $2.99 Free with B1G1 promotion
Item 6 $2.99 Free with B2G1 Publix store coupon
Mfrs for Dr Pepper (not Pepsi) can be used in addition. |

You'll only give yourself a headache if you try to figure it out deeper than that. :-) |

SO, based on the above, I came up with this:
Item 1 $1.39 You pay for this one
Item 2 $1.39 Free due to BOGO promotion
Item 3 $1.39 Free with B1G1 mfg. coupon
Item 4 $1.39 Free with BOGO promotion
(stop here or continue with another BOGO coupon)
Item 5 $1.39 Free with B1G1 mfg. coupon
Item 6 $1.39 Free with BOGO promotion
For each coupon, you pay for one item and walk out with 4. 2 coupons would allow you to pay for 1 and walk out with 6. (Or you could just pay for 2 and walk out with 8 (basically the first deal - twice), but I don't think that's as good a deal. If the pasta sauce is BOGO also, I could double the deal (buy 2, go home with 12) or just leave it as buying one and go home with 10 (items 5 & 6 above would be repeated as 7 & 8 and 9 & 10).
Does this sound right? NRPEACE17 was the one who first gave us the Dr. Pepper chart. Does this sound right to you?
Thanks again! This BOGO stuff really muddles my brain!
