Buy None Get Two Free!

You probably have seen offers to buy one, get one free, but have you ever seen an advertisement to pay nothing in return for two free items? That's what happens when you combine a buy one, get one free store offer with a buy one, get one free (BOGOF) coupon!

I have a couple of coupon websites I frequent, and they alerted me to a deal going on at Kroger affiliated stores last week. John.Morrell lunch meat containers were on sale with a BOGOF offer. The website directed me to another website where I could print a coupon for BOGOF. I took the coupon to the store and it really worked!! I used the coupon as "payment" for my one item and got the second free. I got two of the containers of lunch meat for free! Essentially I paid nothing but tax, but even then it was hardly anything because I brought my reuseable bags for an additional 5 cents off each bag.

I love getting deals like this, especially when I didn't think it would actually work. The store will get reimbursed for the full amount of the item for my coupon- just as if I had paid for one container myself. The store wins because they get reimbursed, the lunch meat company wins because I try their product, and I win because I get free food! How great is that?

If you feel inspired to find your own stellar deals, check out a few of my favorite websites: CouponCravings, TheFreebieBlogger, PinchingYourPennies, and two other sites specific to the state we live in. Email me if you want those sites. Happy shopping and deal hunting!
