A BOGO sale with a BOGO coupon = FREE (unless your store rings half off each product)

This BOGO sale qualifies for the PG SCR Buy 50 get 20.00 gift card.
Example:
Foundation= 11.29
BOGO sale: 1 @ 11.29, 1 @ 0.00
Buy 12 = 6 @ 11.29, 6 @ 0.00
TOTAL: 67.74
Use 6 X BOGO coupons (so 11.29 X 6)= -67.74
TOTAL FREE
PLUS you purchased 50.00 worth for the SCR so you qualify for 20.00 RA card for 20.00 PROFIT
PLUS--Get 4 FREE BLUSH by using B3G1 (buy any 3 cover girl products get free blush 5/4PG)

The coupon specifies that the face product (which is cheaper than the foundation) is the free one. So how will this work?

Let's say I buy 6 foundations at 11.29 and 6 blushes at 5.69 and I have 6 BOGO coupons. Would the BOGO sale give me all the blushes for free and charge me for all the foundations? Then would my coupons work?

Or would the BOGO sale give me 3 foundations and 3 blushes for free? Then maybe only 3 coupons would work?

Thanks -- I'm fairly new to this and trying to figure things out.

In my example above you would want to give them the blush coupons first so they can be subtracted first.......that coupon specifies blush........then BOGO coupon for the face products.......you would want to make sure you got all the same product or it will deduct the lower amount item.

Thanks! I got it now. I guess I forgot that foundation is a face product.

What does this coupon look like? so wouldn't you buy all blushes? I'm going to bed as I'm too tired and can't follow:|

The coupon is get a free face product when you buy foundation. So to take advantage of the BOGO sale along with that coupon, you'd need to buy foundation in pairs. At least that's how I understand it now. :-)

Yes, foundation IS a face product

So yes, buy the most expensive foundation to reach the 50.00 mark quickest and get the 20.00 gift card.

Here are some prices to help in figuring the deal out:

Foundation Prices:
11.82=Advanced Radiance
11.29=Outlast
9.39=Tru Blend Liquid, Aqua Smooth compact
8.19=Advance Radiance Compact
7.99=Simply Powder, Ultimate Finish
7.59=Fresh Complexion, Pocket Powder, Aqua Smoothers
5.99=Clean Makeup Liquid and Compacts

Blush:
5.69 was the most expensive blush I found

Eye Shadow:
5.59 was the most expensive eye shadow--it was 4 colors

Bronzer:
6.29

WARNING: My store manager said that covergirl and makeup section in general was being reset VERY soon--before the sale starts. So this could affect prices and product availability. Remember RA excludes clearance products in their sales.

OK, for those of us who will be paying sales tax, the cheapest scenario I'm getting is:
2*11.29 -Outlast
2*7.99 -Simply Powder, Ultimate Finish
2*5.99 -Clean Makeup Liquid & Compacts
$50.54
+ 3.03 in tax-6% in Michigan,
-50.54 in bogo sale and coupons
$16.97 PURE, LOVELY, UNADULTERATED PROFIT!!!!

if you do that, you have ring them separate--or the lowest amount will be deducted for the BOGO coupons.........and if you ring them separate--2 per transaction then you won't get your free blush.
