FAST FRIENDLY SERVICE 5 min. from Main St. Weekdays ‘till 6pm Saturday ‘till 3pm 22825 Antelope Blvd. 528-0799 Boolah, boolah, BOGO, BOGO Buy One, Get One Free sales are hot topics with readers lately. Here are two questions regarding the specifics of saving even more on these great sales. Q: "My store recently had a sale on jars of nuts. They were priced at $3.50, Buy One, Get One Free. Additionally, each jar had a peel-off coupon worth $1.50. I bought two jars and used one coupon, paying $2 for two. Could I have used both $1.50 coupons, paying only 50 cents for the pair?" Q: "I have a question regarding BOGO offers. Although I had two identical $1.50 coupons, I was only allowed to use one of them. I was told that I could use a coupon for the item I ‘bought’ but not for the item the store was giving to me ‘free.’ They said that acceptance of a coupon for the ‘free’ item would be coupon fraud. Is this correct?" BOGO sales are a great way to take home double the product for half the price! But store policies do vary from chain to chain regarding the ways they handle coupons on BOGO products. Most supermarkets handle BOGO sales one of two ways. In the first, the register scans the first item at full price and the second item is free. If I buy two jars of nuts at $3.50, BOGO, the receipt will show two jars, one with a $3.50 price and the other with a $0.00 price. Other supermarkets "split" a BOGO sale, ringing two products at Police reports The following informa- tion is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests •Aaron Keith Hicks, 34, was arrested Wednes- day night near Baskin Robbins on suspicion of inflicting traumatic injury in a domestic situation. Bail was set at $25,000. •Martha Martinez, 34, Red Bluff, also known as Martha Salazar, also known as Martha Griseldea, was arrested Wednesday morning at the corner of Adobe Road and Interstate 5 on suspicion of driving under the influ- ence and willful child cru- elty. Bail was set at $13,500. • A 29-year-old Corn- ing man was arrested Wednesday evening in the area of Solano and First streets during a traffic stop. Officers found 1.2 grams of methampheta- mine during a search of the vehicle. The driver, Mario Anthony Albaro, was booked for possession of a controlled substance half price. In this case, the receipt will show two jars of nuts, each priced at $1.75. Some stores will allow shoppers to use two coupons during a BOGO sale, but some will not. Typically, a store will address this issue in its coupon policy. In my area, our two largest supermarkets handle these BOGO sales differently. At both supermarkets, the first item rings up at $3.50, the second at $0.00. However, the first supermarket allows shoppers to use a coupon on each item and the second does not. Guess where I like to shop more often? With regard to the question on fraud, it’s definitely not coupon fraud for a store to accept a coupon on a "free" item. Manufactur- er coupons are limited to one "per item purchased;" from a legal standpoint, you are still purchasing the "free" item. It’s also important to note that a store that accepts two coupons on a BOGO sale loses nothing financially. With our nut example, the store still receives the full $3.50 price of the two jars of nuts – but with two $1.50 coupons, I pay just 50 cents for both. The manufacturer reimburses the other $3 to the store. This truly is one of those circumstances where you must and an outstanding arrest warrant. Bail was set at $25,000. Violence A woman reported Wednesday afternoon on South Jackson Street that someone had thrown a knife at her son, leaving him scratched in the face. Theft •A man reported a bur- glary to a residence Thurs- day afternoon on Rancho Tehama Road. •A vehicle was reported broken into Wednesday morning on Enincal Drive. •A TomTom GPS, money and several coats Jill Cataldo Coupon Queen find out how your store BOGOs and coupons, and you’ll be able to better plan future shopping trips. With a supermarket that "splits" BOGO sales into two half- price products, you’ll absolutely be able to use a coupon on each item. These sales aren’t truly "Buy One, Get One Free sales" as much as they are "Buy two, each at half price" sales. Continuing with our nut sale, if we buy two jars at $1.75 each, there would be no reason at all that we couldn’t use a $1.50 coupon on each. The price of each jar isn’t real- ly contingent on buying two. That’s another impor- tant point to keep in mind. If your store does, indeed, price BOGO sales as two half-priced products, you can enjoy another little Super- Couponing trick: buy just one of the products. If you only happened to have one $1.50 coupon and each jar is $1.75, you wouldn’t be tied to buying two to get that price. Buy one for 25 cents and enjoy saving almost 70 per- cent on this item.

Dogs •A 15-year-old boy reportedly rescued an injured dog Thursday afternoon on Flournoy Avenue. •A man reported seeing his neighbor shake a Chi- huahua Wednesday after- noon on Oak Street. The police, inspecting the dog, could find no evidence of harm. Odd A man was arrested on suspicion of causing a public disturbance after he was found shirtless, shoe- less and yelling in the roadway Wednesday evening at the corner of Samson and Santa Rosa avenues. Fires • Red Cross was called to assist the family from a residential structure fire Wednesday in the 18100 block of Paskenta Road. The cause of the fire was a hot water heater malfunc- tion. • The cause of a struc- ture fire Wednesday at Fire Mountain Lodge on High- way 36E was the improper disposal of fire place ashes. No one was injured. D NEWSAILY Exclusive Print Media Partner RED BLUFF TEHAMACOUNTY PRESENTS April 30 - May 1 & 2 MARK YOUR CALENDARS!! Wow! What a Weekend!!
