Discussion: Can You Use a B1G1 Coupon + Another Coupon?

I get a lot of questions about this topic, and so I thought I would bring it up on here and see what some of your experiences have been with this topic:

Q: Can you use a "Buy One, Get One FREE" coupon with another manufacturers coupon for the same item?

Apparently, this is a YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) situation. Some people claim that the extra $-off coupon is taking it off of the one you are "buying" on the B1G1 coupon, and the B1G1 coupon is for the FREE item. For example, right now, many blogs are sharing these two deals:

Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Gel
4-in-1 Scrubbing Bubbles Starter Kit
$2.50 (Toilet Gel price at Walgreens)
- Buy a Toilet Gel, Get a 4-in-1 Starter Kit FREE (Printable Coupon Here)
- $1.00 Off Toilet Gel (Printable Coupon Here)
= $ .75 each after both coupons!

Nivea Lip Care Product
$1.50
- Buy One, Get One FREE (June All You magazine)
- $1.00 (Printable Coupon Here)
= $ .25 each after both coupons!

I have been particularly confused by this issue lately, as it seems that sometimes I can use two coupons like this with no problems, and then other times, the register will beep.

So, I am interested to hear about your experiences...have you all had success in using both a "Buy One, Get One FREE" coupon and another $-off coupon on two items? Please let us know in the comment section. I think a good discussion on this might help some people out.

More FREE Prints - Walgreens

Many of you know by now that my "new year's goal" is to get all of my digital pictures printed and in albums by the end of the year. Here are two more ways that I have gotten closer to my goal:

Make a "Share Site" on Shutterfly to earn up to 60 FREE prints. A "Share Site" is basically like a blog through Shutterfly. You simply need to upload photos to your "site," then invite some of your family members to view it, and you can earn 60 FREE prints. It takes a few minutes, but is well worth it to me. Of course, several family members with other e-mail addresses can make "Share Sites" too, so you could really rack up on the FREE prints!

If you (or a family member) has not registered with Walgreens Photo yet, you can do so now and receive 25 FREE prints for doing so. Don't forget to choose "Pick up in-store" to avoid shipping costs.

Two Dollar General FREEBIES!

Suave Invisible Solid Deodorant
$1.50
- $3.00/2 (Printable Coupon Here)
= Two for FREE after coupon!

Gillette Body Wash
$2.00
- $4.00/2 (5/2 Procter & Gamble Coupon Insert)

High-Value Printable Coupons

There are a couple great, high-value coupons that have come available recently. These will most likely reach their "print limit" quickly, so if you are interested, I would print them soon:

- $1.00 Off 2 Lean Cuisine Entrees (Printable Coupon Here (Internet Explorer) or Here (Firefox) or Here (Safari)

Thanks, Freebies 4 Mom!

Walgreens: Hefty One Zip Bag Deal

I posted about the Hefty One Zip deal at Walgreens this week, but when I was pulling out my coupons to use, I noticed that I had "Buy One, Get One FREE" coupons from a recent Sunday insert. All of the other coupon match-ups I have seen on other blogs have only mentioned using the $1.00/2 coupon, so I was wondering if they knew a reason why this coupon wouldn't work with Walgreens' In-Ad coupon for "Buy One, Get One FREE." I decided (after discussing this thoroughly with "one of my biggest fans":)) at church today, to try it - and it worked!!

Hefty One Zip Bags
$3.29
- Buy One, Get One FREE (With In-Ad Coupon)
- Buy One, Get One FREE (Coupon from Recent Insert?)
= Two FREE after coupons!

So now, my question is this: Does anyone know what insert this "Buy One, Get One FREE" coupon was in?

I have searched for it on several coupon databases, and have only been able to find the "$1.00/2" coupon. I know I can't be the only person who received this coupon...help?!

Why I Love Walgreens!

Today was one of those days when I came skipping happily out of Walgreens - so thrilled to be a Walgreens shopper. My Walgreens trips aren't always so joyful. Lack of organization with my coupons, list, etc. has left me frustrated and disappointed at the register. Other times an unfriendly employee has had me leaving the store vowing never to return. But this was one of those perfect coupon days - a detailed list/organization of my coupons, a super-friendly employee, no registers beeping because it does not recognize my coupons - and I got some super great deals!

Here's what I did:

First of all, I had $10.00 in Register Rewards from last week's [free] Hydro Razor deal. I decided to put those towards some Training Pants (we are potty training my son right now). I was planning on getting the Walgreens brand since I didn't have any coupons for them, but once in the store I found out that the Pampers Register Rewards deal worked for their Easy-Up training pants as well!

Pampers Easy Ups
Buy $25.00 in Pampers products, receive $5.00 in Register Rewards
$8.99 x 3
= $27.00 + received $5.00 in Register Rewards.
- $10.00 in Register Rewards from last week's Hydro shaver deal.
= $12.00 or $4.00 each after spending/earning Register Rewards!

Gillette or Old Spice Body Wash
$4.49
- Buy One, Get One FREE (5/2 Procter & Gamble Coupon Insert)
- $4.49 (Register Rewards)
= Two for FREE after coupon and Register Rewards!

Ivory Bar Soap, 3 pack
$ .99 (With In-Ad Coupon)
- $1.00 (Spring 2010 Rouge Magazine)
= FREE after coupons!

Hefty One Zip Bags
$3.29
- Buy One, Get One FREE (With In-Ad Coupon)
- Buy One, Get One FREE (Recent Insert?)
= Two FREE after coupons!
