what is sneaky is that you really only get 1/2 the coupon value if you have a mfr coupon as they apply the 50% off AFTER mfr coupon. So, an $8 item with a $2 coupon would equate to $6 less 50% off = $3. instead of 50% off of $8=$4 less the coupon of $2
I found that out the hard way
btw, absolutely no returns are allowed so make sure you get what you really want and know the price. the receipts are are screwy as they come...I had a heck of a time figuring out if I got the 50% off. wasn't until I got home that I realized that I got less in coupon value and that's why my total was more than expected.

I must be the only one that didn't go. IDK seems like they are already high priced then half is not as good as people think it will be.

Mine applied the 50% then took the coupon. I went thru my receipt last night because those darn things are so hard to understand but It came out exact when I figured it out with half off then mq off. Maybe different stores did it differently as some were also ringing up tax differently.

Just realized the $3/2 Axe q I loaded while I was there didn't come off...my total was still $7 lower than I had figured so...Axe is B2, save $2 instant, it looks like, according to my receipt. Hard to read. This happened to me yesterday. I took the receipt home and analyzed it. Went back today and they gave me $41 cash. I did 5 separate transactions and knew that one was screwed up.

so can someone verify the axe deal...is the b2 get $2 on any axe product and do you have to have it on your card or is it just for everyone
and then the $3/2 is extra?
would someone mind giving a scenario? like price wise... at what point is the 50% off applied then?
much much thanks

The only time I was kid free I was Teachers Helper. And there was no way I was gonna drag a 4 year old to that mess. Next Friday I have Cullen's Christmas program in the morning so I will not be going next week also.

Just got back from Dom's again. The bogo qs in the coupon center give overage- I can't even begin to figure it out! Did a test run with Clear for men- $6.99for one before 50% - after 2, with bogo, I had $2 or so in overage. I threw in candy, that I forgot was also 50% AND I have 10% pp & I had to keep adding it LOL I finally got to a positive amount, paid, and as I was leaving, noticed it still applied overage to my tax. For the Axe- they are definitely b2, save $2. At least for the body spray & deodorant. Bought 2 @ $3.99 each. Took $1 off each one automatically. Now at $2.99 each. After 50%, they are $1.50 each. There are $3/2 IPs out & $2/1 IPs. I think you get the $1 auto off for every one after 2- so I think you can buy 3 & get the $1 off. NOT POSITIVE, tho! I would buy in groups of 2 to be safe.

I would buy in groups of 2 to be safe. i know some peeps are posting that mfr coupons are taken off after 50% discount, so im not sure why, but ive checked my receipt a couple of times. when i add up the prices on the far right column of the receipt, those prices reflect price after sales and mfr coupons have been applied. then when i add those figures together and divide by half (50% off) i get the "dept discount total -$) in bold type below that section. odd. thanks for the axe info

You're welcome, tho it may be different for you, if yours are being discounted after the qs.

Finally caved.....had to go (on-line pressure).....
Got Play-doh 4 packs for $1
I'd say that was my happiest find. Goes a long way over vacation and gets destroyed easily when the colors get mixed.
If anyone is buying Fannie May. The box is 9.99 at 1/2 off. But, if you buy the same "ounceage" (is that a word) in the individual packs, it comes out to be 1/2 of that. So if you don't need a fancy big box, go for the smaller ones.

We went today briefly to prepare for the 50% off food. OUCH their prices are high even with half off. IDK we will probably go. I loaded all the coupons on my card *went to Meijer and they were trying to talk me into turning my card in--NOPE still need it). Hoping for some good deals.
