Question about buy one candy get one free

So rite aid has m&m mars and nestle buy one get one free. In the paper had a buy 2 get 1 free. I dont thing this Q is for the same ones on sale but it seemed like the best time to ask.

I know when a buy one get one free sale is going on and you have a Q for buy one get one free you end up with 2 free items and pay for one. What about buy 2 get 1 free? How does that look?

The sale is buy one m&m mars or nestle kind size bar get one free. The Q in this weeks paper was buy 2 get 1 free on any single pack of these mars candy (m&m's brand cocount chocolate, milky way brand simply cramel or 3 musketeers brand truffle crisp) up to 99 cents. So I know this q is not for this sale (or I dont thing it could be because king size is $1.49) but if they were how would this deal work would?

Sometimes all you can do is try it and see what the register lets you do

as we all know but don't always admit...just because it scans at the register doesn't make it right.

they may take up to .99 cents off for you...so you would be paying .50 cents for each of them...not the greatest deal

anyway IF they were good for this size it would look like this buy 6 use 2 coupons

you would pay for 1 get 5 free...that is how the renuzit deal is working next week they are bogo free and then we have coupons for b2go free so we will buy 1 get 5 free

Thank you this is what I was wondering how it would work IF the q did go with this sale. I would not use them just because I would still have to pay for the free ones because the price differance in the 2 sizes.

See, I would think that you would pay for one, and get 2 for free. Because you are purchasing 2 from the store deal. You paid what the store asked for 2 candies (even if it is BOGO, that is what they are asking). So you fulfilled the terms of the coupon, so you should get a third for free. That's my logic though, not register logic.
