Found at my Publix today, has the following MQs:

$1 off 1 Greenworks cleaning product
.60 off Explorer's Bounty Puffed Fruit It Crunches
$2 off Explorer's Bounty Organic Dark Chocolate
$1 off Explorer's Bounty Coffee
.35 off Domino's Sugar (4 or 5 lb. bag)
B1G1 Vitamin Water
$1 off any Kashi Pizza
$1 off 6 pack of Elations
$1 off any McCormick Spice
$1 off Silk Soymilk 1/2 gallon
.75 off Smart Balance Milk or Butter Blend

and the following Publix store Q:

$1 off any Odwalla beverage

According to my Publix, they just got them today. The Qs expire anywhere between 5/31 and 6/30.

Okay, now for all you coupon geniuses, I cannot for the life of me figure out how the deal would work on the B1G1 Vitamin water MQ in conjunction with Publix's current sale on this of B2G1... Any thoughts on this one??? How about using the B1G1 MQ in conjunction with a .50 off 1 MQ, in conjunction with Publix's current sale??

Would it be for 3 vitamin waters (at $1.49 ea) as follows:
Publix sale - B2G1
MQ B1G1, making 1 of the 2 that you have to purchase free
MQ .50 off on the 1 remaining that you are purchasing, when doubled = $1 off

Final price $.49 for 3 vitamin waters?

Thanks. I would do the B2g1 and you would really be buying 1 and getting 2. But your other question sounds like you want to use 2 mq together and you cant do that. Even if one is B1G1 that coupon right there applies to both products. That is just my opinion.

The B2G1 is a store sale, no coupon... That's why I outlined the scenario that I did -- just wondering if this is the right way to work this?

No coupon required store sale is B2G1 = 3 vitamin waters, so you pay for 2 at $1.49 each....

Use MQ B1G1 = - 1 x $1.49= means you are getting one of the 2 you have to purchase for free

Use MQ .50 off 1 = 1.49 - .50 x 2 = .49 for the second vitamin water

Third vitamin water is free, per store sale

If the store is giving me one free for purchasing 2, I can use a B1G1 MQ to get one of the 2 required for free, and on the remaining one I use a .50 MQ, doubled to equal $1. The store is not reimbursed for the one they are offering on their sale as free, but the Mfr is reimbursing them $1.49 for one, then $.50 on the other one (though the store eats the other .50 because they double in my area.

I don't want to do anything wrong or dishonest -- the math works out for me as I've outlined above, but want to be sure that my reasoning is correct?

Ok, now I am really confused
It sounds right but I am still confused. Sorry I am not that big of a help.

[GAsaver]

Yes, I am still confused too!! Hopefully Kroger will have these at $1 each soon, which would be a lot less confusing to me (not to mention free vitamin water when using the 2 MQs)

In Georgia, a B2G1 sale usually means that each one rings up at 2/3 the regular price.

In that instance, you could buy one at 2/3 price, use a $1 coupon on that one, and get the second free. No need to buy a 3rd one unless you want to repeat the deal.

Oh I hope I can find these! I never did find the organic one that everyone else found.

I bought 3 of these the other day. In the case of this particular sale, the first 2 waters ring up full price and the 3rd water says "promotional savings" and -$1.49. This is quite different from the way Publix deals usually work here. Anyone who does this deal, be sure that you purchase increments of 3 to get the savings.

So with this promotion i could use my $1 off any vitamin water for the 1st bottle, b1g1 from the book to get the second free, and then publix gives me the 3rd free?

Woohoo! How many bottles can I find before the sale ends tomorrow?
