BOGO?! What's That? How to use BOGO for FREE and Cheap Stuff

BOGO?!  What's a BOGO? 

Yes, by now you have learned a whole bunch of new couponing acronyms... but BOGO is probably going to be one of your favorites! 

BOGO stands for Buy One, Get One...  half off, for 1 cent, or free. 




In the particular example I'm going to show you for this week's lesson (which you will be able to use at CVS starting on 5/20), it's going to be Buy One, Get One FREE!

Ready to learn?  Here we go...

1.  Go to the following link:

http://www.coupons.com/couponweb/Offers.aspx?pid=15493&zid=yn07&nid=10&bid=05161405073cd222d8a20318

2.  Type in zip code 30303 at the top left.

3.  Click on Beverages, and look for Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Drink (or just search through for other cool coupons and check it off when you find it).

4.  When ready, print.  You will be able to print two copies.

5.  Sources say that next week, CVS will be having a Buy One Get One Free sale on Ocean Spray juice starting 5/20/12!  AWESOME!  Off to CVS we will go!

6.  When you go to the store, pick up two bottles.  Make sure that you follow the rules on the coupon, which reads:  Buy one (any) 64 oz. Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Drink, Get One 64 oz. Ocean Spray Cherry Juice Drink FREE (Redemable at Walmart).  That means you have to get one cherry, one form of cranberry.

7.  As you can see, at the top of the coupon, it reads "Manufacturer's Coupon."  This means that you can use it ANYWHERE THAT ACCEPTS COUPONS.  You do NOT have to use it at Walmart!  Keep this in mind for all other coupons, too.  If your coupon reads "manufacturer's coupon," it can be used anywhere.  "Store" coupons must be used in the store they are from, and are labeled "Store Coupon."

8.  Bring both bottles of juice to the cashier.  Of course you brought your green bag tag, and your CVS card.  Also your green bag.  When you cash out, give the cashier the BOGO coupon.  You will pay nothing!!

Wait!  How did that work?

One bottle will be FREE from the BOGO store sale and the other from the coupon. 

In other words, the coupon paid for ONE bottle of juice.  CVS is paying for the other bottle. 

Pretty sweet deal, huh?  THIS is how to make the best of your BOGO coupons!

Hope this works well for you.  Please feel free to post any comments or questions! 

Good luck, and happy couponing!
