Buy One Get One Free, also known as BOGO's can be your best friend, IF you know how to make the great deal even greater. I will be talking about Publix and Winn-Dixie, if you don't have these stores in your area, you may want to verify if the same is true for your local grocer.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
1. When an item is BOGO at Publix and Winn-Dixie, you don't have to buy 2 items. You can buy just one item and it will ring up at half the price. For example, Publix has Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Cake Mix BOGO this week. The regular price is $1.99 each. If you purchase 2 cake mixes, one will scan $1.00 and the other will scan .99, totaling $1.99.
2. As mentioned above, you don't have to buy both items. I generally only buy one of the item that is BOGO unless it is something that I really need or if it is a good item to stock-up on.
3. You can use a coupon in addition to the BOGO deal. Just remember, if you are going to purchase 2 cake mixes you will need a coupon for each cake mix, unless your coupon says you have to buy 2 mixes to use the coupon. So let's say we have a coupon for .50 off 1 cake mix and the cake mixes are BOGO like mentioned above. If we buy only one cake mix and then use our coupon, look at the savings:
1 cake mix at 1/2 price for $1.00 minus the .50 coupon = total paid for cake mix .50!! You saved $1.48 --now that is a deal.
If you are a self-proclaimed coupon queen like me or if you are just starting out, I suggest that you check out the sales ad for your local grocers online before heading to the market. Every week I check out each grocer's websites. Publix and Winn-Dixie both have their ad's online and you can do a search by product or category. At first, it may take some time but if you make it a habit it will be second nature. If you have more BOGO tips, please leave a comment. I know I didn't cover them all, but hopefully I gave you a good start.

Tara, Tara, Tara. Girlie I have to let you know that Publix is not the same in every state. In the great sunshine state of FL, you DO have to buy 2 of an item to get the BOGO deal. Just wanting to clarify that to all those Publix shoppers out there. ;)

Thank you for letting us know. Now, that is just horrible news! You will have to come to Title Town, USA for the deals next time! Just kidding!! Very good point, that not all stores are the same. Thanks again for letting me know.
