MATH CLASS: Explained B2G1 on BOGO sales!




If you are ever faced with a Buy 2 Get 1 Coupon 
and then the item is on sale Buy 1 Get 1 (bogo)
THIS IS A GOOD THING!
I am about to explain to you how this is figured out 
and how to get the most for your money. 

Let's do this on the present deal at Publix for the Outshine Bars. 

In the Publix Green Flyer you will find the coupon below!

Then bless your lucky stars when the ad came out this was in it!


Now here is what will happen.... I am going to really break this down so you will understand. 

First off I will start by saying on this coupon it states that out of 
everY (3) coupons that you use from the ad (1) HAS to be a 
Seasonal Pick or Coconut Waters. It is very important to keep that in mind when grabbing your boxes.

OKAY HERE WE GO! 

If you buy 1 you will pay $4.65 -Trust me people do this. You lost out on one box. Maybe someone will tell you maybe not!

If you buy 2 you will pay $4.65- Since they are on sale bogo.

If you buy 3 you will pay $4.65- One free from bogo other by using (1) B2G1 coupon but you are still loosing out 1 due to the bogo sale.

If you buy 4 you will pay $4.65- Two are free from sale and One is free by using (1) B2G1 coupon.

If you buy 5 you will pay $9.30- two are free from sale and one is free by using (1) B2G1 coupons. Not only are you paying more money you are loosing out because of the bogo sale.

If you buy 6 you will pay $4.65- three are free from sale and now two are free by using (2) B2G1 coupons.

If you buy 7 you will pay $9.30 -three are free from sale and two are free by using (2) B2G1 coupons.

If you buy 8 you will pay $9.30 - four are free from sale and two are free by using (2) B2G1 coupons.

If you buy 9 you will pay $9.30- four are free from sale and now three are free by using (3) B2G1 coupons.

If you buy 10 you will pay $9.30 five are free from sale and three are free by using (3) B2G1 coupons.

If you buy 11 you will pay $13.95- five are free from sale and three are free by using (3) B2G1 coupons. Not only are you paying more money you are loosing out because of the bogo sale.

If you buy 12 you will pay $9.30 - six are free from the sale and four are free by using (4) B2G1 coupons.



This member of my group did it right... she got the two bars needed to use the coupon correctly. She bought (6) boxes and paid $4.65! 

No matter if she would of bought 
 1 box 2 boxes 3 boxes 4 boxes or 6 boxes 
she would of STILL paid $4.65! 

A box that is normally $4.65 each she paid about 78 cents per box!
She did not need to be an extreme couponer clipping all day and sorting she just had to know how many coupons to use. She is your everyday shopper that now has more ice pops then she knows what to do with because she took the time to understand. 


Now anyone who KNOWS me knows I have blonde moments way to often but for some reason I can add simple numbers
(wow that picture is so funny... lol) 

Here I will explain this as simple as I can.. 
With this you have a bogo item with a b2g1 coupon! 
BOGO means 2 it is 2 items no matter what the number is 2!
B2G1 means 3 no matter what the number is 3!
 Now you just have to find a number that goes into 2 and 3?
6-12-18-24-36-42-48-54-60!

(yes I had to use my fingers to do that just now)
 
6 you will pay for 1
12 you will pay for 2
18 you will pay for 3
and so forth. 

This is a bit advanced but what is needed for you to understand how the deals work. I have broke it down to the line... so I know that you are not scratching your head anymore... at least I hope you are not scratching your head... if you are here is a coupon for lice... 

JUST KIDDING... 
BUT REALLY THAT IS THE LINK TO THE COUPON! 

It is one thing for someone to just go and use a coupon just because I tell them to it is another thing if they KNOW how to use a coupon themselves. Even the most extreme couponers still bang there head at the number game it could really give you a headache but maybe now you have a better understanding. 

HAPPY COUPONING!
