Ebony Magazine P&G coupon insert

Same insert as described for Essence mag two days ago.

It's always a great to have two of each coupon because a lot of sales are buy one get one free (BOGO) or buy one get one half off (BOGO-1/2). Example: this coupon book has a coupon for $2 off CoverGirl NatureLux--a lip balm/tint/gloss hybrid that I love because it's so effortless that I don't even need a mirror. typical cost is $7.99/tube. CVS routinely puts CoverGirl on sale either BOGO, BOGO-1/2, or spend $15 get $5 ExtraBucks (EB) back. If it's BOGO, then the cost before coupons is $7.99 then use two $2 coupons bringing the price down to $3.99--that's less than $2 per tube. If it's EB back then the cost before coupons is $15.98, after coupons, 11.98. Then factor the $5 EB which brings the cost per tube down to around $3. Either scenario is well below half price of the retail value that other women pay.
