B1G1 coupons
I like to think of myself as a pretty intelligent person but I've gotten stumped with this one. First let me say that I do understand how a B1G1 coupon works (you buy an item and get another of the same item free) but it's when you combine it with a store sale of B1G1 that's getting me. If the store has the item B1G1 and you have a B1G1 coupon then do you really buy 1 and get 2 free? Please help me, my brain is failing on this one.

It depends on how the store does the sale. I know that Kroger and Publix really just means half price. If you watch it ring up it rings up half price. You can buy just 1 or 3 and you still get them all half price. So really, you can't combine the 2 (like they talk about on money saving mom) in our area and get them both free. Pretty much you would just pay for 1 item at half price and get the 2nd free with your coupon.
Does that make sense?
I'm with Ashley on that. I just went to Kroger's and they only accept one coupon for each item. Even if it's says on the item, "Save 2.00 now." They will only use one of those coupons. Their system won't ring it up! But Wal-Mart does!
Honestly, it depends on the store policy. That might be worth "googling" about. Nevertheless, it makes a great blog question!
I'm no expert...But I think this can be done at CVS and Walgreen's, (for most of the B1G1 sales I've seen, anyway) where you have to actually walk away with two items to get the discount. (Versus buying only one for half-price.)
My take on it is that you first buy one item from the store (in order to get a second item free)...Then, when you use a coupon, the one you paid for actually becomes free. So the benefit of combining the two (B1G1 sale + B1G1 coupon), is that one is free from the store and one is free from the manufacturer.
I could be wrong, but this is the way I understand it! :)
