Q&A- Using 2 coupons on a buy one get one Free

04/16/2009 2:05 pm · 1 comment

question-mark2Question: My cashier would not let me use 2 coupons for the BOGO ( buyone get one free) items . Was this just a crabby cashier or is this a Walgreens policy?

Answer: First off let me say a buy one get one free is a promo  the stores does.  It works great because it gets you to buy 2 products instead on 1.  If you think about it, you are really just getting 2 items 50% off.   If the store marketed it that way most people would only by 1 item.  But when it is buy one get one free, you buy 2.  They store is able to move more product this way.  You can use 2 manufacturer coupon on 2 items 50% off item with no problem.  But for some reason you will find trouble when you try to use the same 2 coupons on a buy one get one free sale.  Some store are much more coupon friendly that others.  Click here to read a letter from Corporate Walgreens stating that yes you can use 2 coupons on a buy one get one free deal.  It is a good idea to print this letter and keep it with you.  Thanks to Moms by Heart for this letter!

Featured on …

The Financial Times
2/28/09

So my wife isn’t one to brag, but she has been featured today in Financial Times, www.FT.com
Her blog “A Thrifty Mom” has a write up by Jonathan Birchall titled “Americans embrace cyber moms? blog bargains” from the New York office of the London based newspaper Financial Times, Jonathan calls his newspaper “like the Wall Street Journal, but based in London, we like to think it’s more fun”. Jonathan found her blog and asked if he could interview her. Of coarse Sarah being a small town dairy farm girl was a bit shocked. She actually did some research on the Financial Times, thinking she just got some spam mail. Come to find out it is a legit and high end news source. So she called him back. His British accent made it a fun conversation. In his article he stated:
“In a sign of the demand, Sarah Barrand, a mother of three who launched A Thrifty Mom in Idaho last month, says she is already averaging 1,000 readers a day. ?To be honest, I had no idea what a blog was a year ago,? she says. ?But it?s taken off like I would never have imagined.?”

She is featured with other bloggers such as Southern Savers, Money Saving Mom, The Frugal Mom, Coupon Cravings, and Stephanie Nelson, the Coupon Mom, who has been featured on Oprah, The Today show, and many other news agencies. These are all very large blogs that do quite well. Sarah said she feels so honored to be included with these fellow bloggers.
You can read the full article here:

Tell Sarah what you think.
