    HELP Math question on BOGO item's

    I need HELP!! I can not seem to wrap my mind around the Target Q's for the B3G1 Free & the B2G1 Free Q's to use with Publix's BOGO deals..

    I plan on using them tomorrow, however there are things that are BOGO already. How many items would I buy if I were using:

    BOGO PLUS B3G1 Free
    BOGO PLUS B2G1 Free

    Thank you!!!

    Buy in 2's always (since I'm assuming you're in FL and have true BOGO) if the items are BOGO in addition to using the Q's.

    So both coupons would be 4 to use. 6 to use in duplicate on the B2G1F, and 8 to use in duplicate on the B3G1F.

    An example of the BOGO+coupon is the Hershey's this week.

    I got six packs of the 6-packs of Hershey's/Reese's. I used two B2G1F coupons. So here's what it looks like:

    Hershey's 4.15
    Hershey's 4.15-4.15=0.00
    Hershey's 4.15 (coupon eligible)
    Hershey's 4.15-4.15=0.00
    Hershey's 4.15
    Hershey's 4.15-4.15=0.00 (coupon eligible)
    --------------------
    12.45

    coupons:
    -4.15
    -4.15
    --------------------
    4.15 for 36 candy bars. ;)

    Oreo Cakesters B3G1 Get in 4's. For each 4, you will pay for 1 after coupon. Example:

    Cakester #1 full price
    Cakester #2 free with BOGO sale
    Cakester #3 full price
    Cakester #4 free with BOGO sale

    Cakester #3 will be free after B3G1F coupon. So you get all four for the price of 1.
    Kraft Salad Dressing B2G1 Buy in 4's. You'll pay for 1.

    Dressing #1 full price
    Dressing #2 free with BOGO sale
    Dressing #3 full price
    Dressing #4 free with BOGO sale

    Dressing #3 is free with the B2G1F coupon.
    Kraft Mayo B2G1

    Same as above. ;)

    Then for the REALLY confusing question ...
    Kraft Homestlye Mac & Cheese , I have a B2G1 Free PLUS a B1G1 Free.

    You should get 4 for the use of the coupon #1, and 2 for coupon #2:

    M&C #1 full price
    M&C #2 free with BOGO sale
    M&C #3 full price
    M&C #4 free with BOGO sale
    M&C #5 full price
    M&C #6 free with BOGO Sale

    #3 will be free with the use of the B2G1F coupon, and # 5 will be free with the use of the B1G1F coupon. You'll get them all for the price of 1.

    Ok, supposing that you are using only one of each coupon, you would get 4 of each of the first three items listed. You would pay for 1 and get the other three free between the BOGO promo, and the B2G1 or B3G1.

    It's a B2G1F (need four) and a B1G1F (need two). So she can use them both with six and pay for one.

    Yes, I didn't get a chance to edit my post. I realized right after posting.
    I think it's getting late ;)
