Yoplait Yogurt--Please help the newbie!

[bw52]

Hi, I'm trying to figure this out, but can't. On Fry's deals list for this week it says yoplait yogurt is 50 cents. And then there's a -40 coupon, when you buy 6 (doubles to -80). So that seems to me like

$0.50/6 = $3
-$0.80 = $2.20 for 6.

But on the list, somehow it says the final price should be $0.10 each (or $0.60for all 6. How come Coupon Mom, or whoever puts that list together, gets to pay $0.60 when I'm paying $2.20? How is it done? I keep thinking I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out and it's really bugging me, because I'm so confused! If anyone knows how this works and can explain it, I would LOVE it! Thanks!

I think this is a little glitch in the couponmom program.

When you need to buy multiples to use a coupon, the unit price doesn't always calculate correctly (look at the suave for 1.00, coupon is for $1 off 2, and it shows ending price is FREE. True, the second one is free if you look at it that way, but I prefer to look at it as per each, so I re-calc the final price to reflect that: 0.50 each).

To answer your question, I bought the yogurt at Fry's this week, and my Fry's is TRIPLING, so I bought 6 for $3.00, less the .40 coupon that was tripled to 1.00 (triple value caps out at 1.00), so I paid 2.00 for all 6, which comes to .33/each.

You weren't doing anything wrong.

Thanks for the clarification. I 've been trying to figure that out all day. It's nice to know that I was actually doing it right! I'm new to this, so I figured it was just me. Thanks for the help!
