There has been a lot of discussion on the B2G1 Dial or Tone Regular or For Men Body Wash or Bar Soap, exp. 7/11/14 (RP 06/15/14) coupon that was in our Red Plums from Sunday’s paper (or for me, the Tuesday flyer b/c Red Plum no longer puts inserts in my paper!). Since there are some questions on how this coupon would work with a BOGO sale (and it’s on sale BOGO today for those of you who have a Thurs-Wed sales cycle), I thought I would take the time to explain how it works!
First of all, a B2G1 coupon can be used with a BOGO sale at Publix. However, the way the coupon will be applied depends on where you live.
- If you live in the “land of true BOGO’s,” this means you pay full price for one item on a BOGO sale, and you literally get the second item for free.
- If you live in the “land of 50% off BOGO’s,” this means each item is actually 50% off.
This is important because the coupon works differently in each scenario. So, as an example, I’ll use the B2G1 Dial coupon with the BOGO sale at Publix.
Scenario #1 – Land of True BOGO’s
Buy six Dial Body Wash, Assorted Varieties, 16 oz, BOGO $3.99 for two
Minus two B2G1 Dial or Tone Regular or For Men Body Wash or Bar Soap, exp. 7/11/14 (RP 06/15/14) coupons
Total Due: $3.99 or $0.67 each
Explanation
You’re buying three at $3.99 and getting three free.
$3.99 x 3 = $11.97 subtotal
Minus two B2G1 free coupons (coupon value in this case is $3.99 each)
Subtotal of $11.97 – $7.98 ($3.99 x 2) for the value of the coupons
Total Due: $3.99 or $0.67 each
Scenario #2 – Land of 50% BOGO’s
Buy three Dial Body Wash, Assorted Varieties, 16 oz, BOGO $3.99 for two
Minus one B2G1 Dial or Tone Regular or For Men Body Wash or Bar Soap, exp. 7/11/14 (RP 06/15/14) coupons
Total Due: $3.98 or $1.33 each
Explanation
You’re buying three at 1.99
$1.99 x 3 = $5.97
Minus one B2G1 free coupons (coupon value in this case is $1.99 each)
Subtotal of $5.97 – $1.99 for the value of the coupons
Total Due: $3.98 or $1.33 each
Additionally, there’s a $1/1 Dial Body Wash (Ibotta Deposit) deposit which makes the deal even better.
Hopefully this helps clear up any confusion you might have on how to use a B2G1 coupon with a Publix BOGO sale.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
I always thought buy2get1 meant a total of 3. Does it mean buy 2 and the second 1 is free? I can’t figure out this deal any other way.
Actually the best way to work that deal would be to buy 4 and use the buy 2 get 1 free coupon.. meaning you are truly buying 1 getting 3 free
explanation: b1g1 equals the purchase of 2 then the coupon would give you the 3rd bottle free which in turn gives you the fourth bottle free
Yup! This is a great way to use the coupon! I like buying 6 and using two coupons because all six are the price of one. But you will spend the same amount of money if you buy 4 and use one coupon 🙂
So, even if there’s a free one, it’s left as counting initially as a purchase? I’m not usually this dense, but this deal has me baffled mentally!
Hi Ruth – imagine you are buying 6 bottles of body wash and you are using two B2G1 coupons. One B2G1 coupon is “covering” the first three bottles (because you have to buy two to get one free) and the second coupon is “covering” the last three bottles. So if the bottles were not on sale, you would pay for four bottles and get two free (when you use two B2G1 coupons). Then, add in the sale! The sale is B1G1 so if we bought 6 bottles, we would get 3 free. Since our coupons are already getting us two free, we would get an additional 3 bottles free with the sale. Does that make sense?
