Understanding the $5 off $25 Rule
For your $5/$25 coupon to work, you need to understand how the system calculates your total. Here are the key rules you MUST follow:
- Your Total Must Be $25.00 AFTER Store Coupons
- At “new system” stores, store coupons are treated like discounts or sale prices. This means they lower your subtotal before the $5/$25 coupon applies.
- Example: If you have a $3.00 store coupon, your subtotal needs to be $28.00 to still qualify for the $5/$25.
- Your Total Must Be $25.00 BEFORE Manufacturer Coupons
- Manufacturer coupons are considered a form of payment, NOT a discount. Your subtotal must be at least $25.00 before these are applied.
- Your Total Must Be $25.00 AFTER Instant Savings
- Instant savings (like $3 off $15 on Scott products) come off immediately, lowering your subtotal. Adjust your total to account for this.
- Example: If you’re using the $3 off $15 Scott promotion, your total needs to be $28.00 to trigger the $5/$25.
- Your Total Must Be $25.00 After Sale Prices
- Always factor in the sale price, not the original price. For example, if sodas are $3/$13.00, use the $13.00 total in your calculations.
- Your Total Must Be $25.00 Before Tax
- Taxes do not count toward your subtotal. Ensure your items reach $25.00 before tax is added.
