does anyone see a problem with this one?:

4 Gillette Deodorants
2 Old Spice Fresh Deodorants
1 Gillette Body Wash

Use:
2 $4/2 Gillette
1 BOGO Old Spice
1 Buy Gillette Deodorant, get Gillette body wash.

I guess I’m wondering if I can buy 4 Gillette Deodorants total and use the 2 $4/2 and the buy deodorant, get body wash in the same xaction?

Don’t know where to post this but can anyone tell me if there is toilet paper close to the quality of Charmin? I’m willing to switch to another brand but love the thickness of Charmin. thanks!

Brandi June 21, 2010 at 6:30 pm

Do the exact same scenario above but don’t include the shave gel and it’ll be $1.03 profit.

Hi Brian – Nice to see you and thanks again for the scenario, it’s nice to be able to be able to thank you by name, vs. partial e-mail address!

FVH (Francoise) June 21, 2010 at 7:25 pm

Adri-
I don’t think you can do it the way you mentioned, but I’m not totally sure. However, I’ve got plenty of old spice coupons. I’ll be happy to mail you a couple if you think you would get it in time. I’m in Portland, OR. Just comment to let me know. I just like to pay it forward.

Reply

Brenda June 21, 2010 at 8:50 pm

My store wouldn’t allow me to use the coupon on the shave gel–my clerk insisted the 1.7 oz size is the trial size so I couldn’t use my coupon.

Reply

adri June 21, 2010 at 9:21 pm

FVH! You are the sweetest, thank you! I was able to use a scenario with two of the old spice coupons, though, so I was still able to do the deal! It was just the one with the three bogos that I wouldn’t have been able to do. Thank you so much!

Kim June 22, 2010 at 8:51 am

Christie, can you ‘write out’ Denise’s scenario, I’m having trouble with the total and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. This is what I get, deducting qs in order written in her comment – not saying she’s wrong, just don’t understand it. Thanks.
30.02
-4.49 body wash free wyb
-2.00 gel – 2x 1.00
-2.99 fresh wyb
-2.99 frsh wyb
=17.55 ?

Maria June 22, 2010 at 8:58 am

Kim, I was confused too. I couldn’t add the numbers up right. It was showing me a cost instead of profit. Christie or Denise, help! Thanks.

Reply

amber June 22, 2010 at 9:06 am

Kim, Maria ,
I came up with it being 2.55 OOP after q’s and rr’s too. what am I missing…help.

Reply

Sharelle June 22, 2010 at 9:10 am

Denise, I don’t get how you’re coming out with a moneymaker when I do the math with the coupons you listed…am I missing something? When I figure it, you’d still be paying 3.05 after RR.

Reply

Sharelle June 22, 2010 at 9:12 am

How funny, we’re all trying to figure it out!!!

Reply

Christie June 22, 2010 at 10:43 am

You all are cracking me up. I’m going to join in the figuring it out.

I think maybe there are some coupons we are missing? For one I think that there is a $2/1 coupon missing for the Gillette Deodorant. Maybe there is something better out there than a $1/1 for the shave gels, those are pretty pricey.

Maria June 22, 2010 at 11:39 am

I like being prepared when I go to WAGS. I always get burned when I try to wing it at the store. Especially with something like this that has lots of coupons. If the cashier and I are both confused, then it will make for a not so happy trip to the store.

This is funny!! I’m confused!! lol

Christie June 22, 2010 at 12:53 pm

I just did the scenario I posted yesterday and it worked great so I’m sticking to that. 🙂

Maria June 22, 2010 at 12:54 pm

Thanks for trying!

kristin June 22, 2010 at 1:15 pm

She’s missing two coupons. $2 off the Gillete deodorant and the $1/2 for the two old spice she’s paying for. It isn’t a money maker that i can see but after coupons and RR you only pay 5 cents, With the prices she has listed.

Donna E June 24, 2010 at 3:59 am

Hi Christie,

I did the posted deal last night and the register beeped. The cashier wouldnt override it.

Is there an order I should be handing them to the cashier in?

Thanks,

Donna

Reply

Christie June 24, 2010 at 10:39 am

Hmm, well it should beep every time because it’s prompting her/him to put put in the amount of the coupon. There is no way to not have it beep when it’s a coupon that an amount needs to be entered. Did it beep at some other point or after she put in all the amounts?

Reply

Amy June 24, 2010 at 10:39 am

Ugg, i tried the deal, but i didnt get the 10rr… but i did get the 4.50 rr… i guess i could have bought 1 more deoderant/bodywash combo… i guess it assumes u are buying 6 things to total the 25.00 and want just the 4.50 rr… 🙁 o well, i got it all basically free though.

Reply

Amy June 24, 2010 at 10:45 am

The only way the b1g1 coupons and the 1/2 coupons would go in was if they put in the b1g1 first, and then the 1.00 off coupons second, they didnt beep then, but when he tried the 1.00 off first, the b1g1 would NOT go through…not sure if it is like that at all of the wags, but…

Reply

Crista June 25, 2010 at 10:10 am

If you buy the bodywash in this deal, you won’t get the $10 rr. Because it already has it’s own RR & it will give you the lesser of the 2, tried it yesterday, questioned it & that’s what i was told. The Mgr went ahead & gave me the $10 rr but that’s the reason. Just thought i would share that..

Reply

Donna E June 25, 2010 at 1:36 pm

That could be my issue. I am heading out to try another Wags… I have 50 within 10 miles of my house… No joke. Love Phoenix and Wags!
