MOD EDIT: PLEASE READ POST #14: BOGO 101 + RITE AID COUPON USUAGE: Can someone help me with the Herbal essense deal?

[lorindaleigh]

I have a headache and I'm trying to figure this out. My brain hurts lol.

Herbal essense is on sale 2/$5. I have 3 BOGO coupons & 6 $1/1 coupons.

So can I buy 6, use the 3 BOGO's & then 6 $1/1 coupons?

I don't have enough coupons to do the rebate thing. So I believe that this would be the next best thing if its allowed.

If my math is right, that would make it $1.50 for 6 bottles.

Crossing my fingers here!

You will have to buy 9 bottles to use all the coupons you listed. You can't use a bogo and a $1/1 for the same bottle. I would try to throw in something else to get the $10 P&G rebate and it will also count toward the GOS (or whatever it's called).

If you are only buying 6, then you can only use 6 coupons, so 3 BOGO's and 3 1.00/1

It would look like this

2.50 x 6 = 15.00
- bogo coupon 7.50
- 3 1.00/1 coupon 3.00
= 4.50 for all 6 bottles, or .75 each

OR

6 shampoo / cond = 15.00
6 styling products = 15.00
-5/25 RA coupon (google it)
-3 BOGO coupons = 7.50
-6 1.00/1 coupons = 6.00
11.50 oop, get 10 SCR Gift Card
1.50 for 12 bottles, or .12 cents each

If you wanted the lowest OOP, the first option would be best.

If you can take the higher OOP, the second is a better deal, because the per bottle cost is less.

My store would not allow the $1/1 Q's to be used in conjunction with the BOGO Q's as shown in the example posted above. I found that out the hard way trying to do it with the Reese's peanut butter cups.

You guys are awesome! Thanks so much. I'm going to go with option 1. This is only my second week couponing. I've been lurking for awhile now but just actually started to do it the right way last week. So I want to start off slow for now. :)

I come up with $11.50 oop for the second one?

Thank you so much for this post!! I am trying to tell people on another board that you can't use a bogo and $1/1 on just 2 items! I was starting to think it was just me.

You are right... I see where I added wrong.. I fixed it!

[elizabethhouts]

DO very many of you have problems using $1/1 and BOGO? I have the ultimate deal plan idea and I am scared to try it, lol. There is one super nice cashier who would probably let me use coupons for items I didn't even buy (jk) so I should have no issues, but I dunno. Also, does your RA allow you to stack $x/$xx coupons? (like if I spend $45 they let me use a $5/$25 and a $5/$20) Mine does which makes me think they are on the loose side.

[MrsAlias]

My store would NEVER let me stack x/xx coupons.. are you kidding me.. I can hardly get them to let me use one!!

I am able to use bogo coupons and x/1 coupons as long as I dont have more coupons then items.
