    I didn’t get a 5/2 PG. Darn it! 🙁

    • Rachael

      I am new to this site and I am a little confused as to what PG stands for as well as a couple more like SS and when I was looking at CVS something called the Magic Coupon Machine. Can you or somebody help me out??

      • Rachael B.

        PG stands for Proctor and Gamble and SS stands for Smart Source. These are coupon inserts that are in the newspapers.

    The $4/2 would not scan when I tried it! And the cashier wouldn’t let me do it. Is it coded for a bigger size than the 8.4 oz. even though it doesn’t list a size restriction?

    • tiffany

      i don’t understand how the cashier would know the q is coded for a bigger size when nothing is written on the q. She should have pushed it through. I’m really tempted to try this deal at my local DG cause when I was in there on SAt and got 6 FREE bottles of Glass Plus the cashier looked at me and treated me like I had 6 heads!!! Whatever!!

      • Sonya

        If only all cashiers were like my friendly one at Wags! She loves to see me get a good deal. My cashier at DG thot the reason the $4/2 q wouldn’t scan was because it wasn’t going to let me get them for free. But I’ve got the same Gillette bodywash for free with $2 q’s before!!!

    Target had this same size on clearance for $1.52 ea. I wound up using the B1G1 free coupons. I’m new to the whole coupon/saving thing so I was content with paying approx. 0.76 each. Slowly but surely I’m doing better with my coupon deals 🙂

    • Erin

      I just “paid” $1.76 for two of these at Target and got $2.24 overage! They paid for my bread!

  4. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I got a ton of the gilette clinical and bodywash using the 4 dollar coups!

    • rachel w

      At Dollar General or someplace else?

  5. Olivia Smith

    I’m gonna have to snag some of this, my fiance loves this bodywash! And there isn’t a size restriction so the cashier should’ve pushed it through!

  6. RobinS

    There was also a b1g1 gillette body wash in the 5/2 p&g.
    So you should be able to get 3 body washes for free when you use.
    One b1g1 free q plus One $4/2 q

    • Lauren24

      Shouldn’t you be able to get 4 for free? If you use the $4 off 2 coupon then 2 B1G1 coupons because technically you are buying 2 and then getting 2 for free with the b1g1. Is this right or can you not do that?

      • Mindy

        I think you could get 3 for free. The BOGO coupon would “tag” onto one body wash, not allowing you to use a $4/2 on that one, BUT The one you actually “pay for” would. So, buy 3 @ $2 then use 1 – $4/2 Q and 1 – BOGO coupon. I could be wrong so feel free to correct as needed! 🙂

        • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

          OK Thanks! I wasnt too sure i just assumed since im technically buying 2 that i could get 2 for free. Thanks for explaining!!

    DIDN’T WORK. Manager came over and tried telling me it is a Gillette sponsored sale and a coupon can not be used with the sale. AND the kicker was that Dollar General doesn’t allow coupons for free items….lol. I will go back with their policy. I didn’t appreciate the manager trying to teach me how to use coupons properly.

    • Amanda

      I know how you feel! They need to learn their own policy.

    • LeAnna

      when they say they don’t allow coupons for free items…they mean you could not use a coupon for a ‘free’ gillete body wash! NOT that you can’t get something for free AFTER the coupon. How did that lady make it to manager? Good greif. I was at DG the other day and a lady was having a hard time stacking DG c and MQ…as I knew she had coupons-I was sort of watching to see how they acted(was my first time there) and the lady and i had exchanged some tips in the store. Well, I pulled out the c-policy and walked up and said-yes indeed you can….LOL. The lady was thankful…but so mad. Yet on that trip I got the pedigree dog bones..priced at $2-w/ a $2. c-for free. I would also call cooperate and see if they can be of help. Please let us know when you go back in….I love it when someone stands up for their rights…

  8. What?

    I have been seeing the bodywash + shampoo in the smaller size on clearance at Target for around $2

  9. Tara

    My dollar general doesn’t have it on sale!

    • Katie

      It’s not on sale on the shelves, but it rings up $2. My DG would not take the $4/1 Q though…the cashier said that the register won’t let me get an item for free if it’s on sale and using a Q. Annoying.

  10. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I went to 3 dollar General’s today……2 didn’t carry it & the other it was not on sale!!!

  11. La Krista

    Hi guys! So excited! Went to walmart and did price match. I used 4 BOGO bodywash coupons and 2 $4/2 coupons and paid tax! Then I did 2 $/2 coupons on 4 paid .40. This should carry me for 2-3 months with the 4 men in my house. Oh! Also did the tampax/ movie ticket deal and an all for you mag. Sooo.. 12 bodywashes, 4 boxes of tampons, 4 movie tickets and a magazine for 25.78. Thanks for the deal collin. I couldn’t do this at this level without your post. Hope this helps guys!

  12. Kathy

    We bought these in March at Target. They are normally somewhere between $1.79-$1.97 (prices vary per store) even if they are not on clearance. We got 9 of them with the $4/2 coupons and a $2 off coupon. My husband loves this body wash!

    • Kathy

      The other coupon I used was $1 off not $2.

  13. Erin

    Just went to Dollar General and picked up 4 of these and so did my friend. The cashier had to hit a key to get it to go through, but I didn’t have any problems getting this deal. My husband loves this shower gel so I am very excited that I was able to get it for for free 🙂

  14. Leslie

    Got 2 today…the cashier was so impressed

  15. qtee

    new to this sound dumb but how do you get the coupon to print out

    • Tara

      the coupon was in the sunday paper….you could try ordering them through coupon clipping services

  16. Amanda

    I can’t believe it! My dollar general told me flat out that they do not take coupons printed off the internet. I just read the corporate policy and it definately says that they DO take internet coupons! Kinda frustrating considering they made me feel like an idiot when I tried to use one the other day. I’m soo bringing this policy in to show them the next time I go.

    • LeAnna

      The cashier had to ask the manager when I went in last week. I kept telling her that they changed the policy as of 4/10/10. I had their policy w/ me JUST in case…but the manager knew….of course the two men in line behind me thought I was a bit crazy! But most men don’t understand saving money! They will pay full price for anything……

      • Amanda

        lol i know what you mean! I try to get my husband to use a coupon. He wont do it! He’s too embarassed. lol so i try to never send him to the store without a strict list.

  17. supersaversarah

    I’m not sure where people are getting that this is an IP coupon. P&G doesn’t do printables unless they authorize a store (like Target) to offer them. This is an insert coupon for this deal.

    • Kathy

      You are right Sara, it was from the P&G insert on May 2nd.

  18. Danielle

    our DG didn’t have them 🙁 someone said doing a price match? What sale paper did you use to do price match?

  19. Tara

    I went to Walmart and I got two Gillette Body Washes @ 3.50 each. I used a buy one get one coupon and they let me use the $4/2 so I got them for free, plus overage. I was surprised they let me use both. So I went back to again…..and it worked again! So 4 Gillette Body Washes for free with $1 overage!!

    • Tara

      did the register beep and they put it through or did it just beep for the price…..just wondering cause i hate having to put up a fight 🙂

  20. sandra

    I went to our DG and the manager tried to check me out and the coupon beeped and he tried the old 1 per purchase on the $4 off 2. He would not push it through because the COMPUTER wouldn’t let him. So I left with nothing. Does he not know that his store just lost a sale for $12 plus .32 processing on the coupons. I don’t shop there often and now my visits will be nil.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      my dollar gen. gave me grief today also-I had 4 of the body washes, 1 coupon for $4/2, and a bogo coupon. The idiot, I mean cashier told me I had to pick one coupon or the other because they were already on sale for $2 wich would make them free and it would mess up thier inventory-another cahsier stepped in and scanned them both-luckily I left with 4/$2. I told the idiot that the store gets money for the coupons, but he’d rather stand there and argur with me. My son was soo embarrased!!

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        Afterall, it’s Dollar General. I don’t think we are dealing with the nations best and brightest here!

  21. Christina F

    i went to 4 different Dollar Generals. None of them could do it. The last one said they would put the body washes in their office until they could get help from their regional mgr. They said they’ll call me. I even printed your deal and took it with me. I talked to their corporate office and then had the mgr talk to corporate who ok’d it. Very frustrating. but hope I end up with 4 free body washes

  22. Bev

    I went to try this and store only had one on the shelf. I wonder if they did that so no one would use the coupon. I just left the store and thought they just lost a sale….

  23. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I will have to see if my Dollar General has this size for $2. That would be nice, b/c I don’t have a Target real close by.

    I hope the register just takes them w/ no beeps. It should. The policy does state that they won’t accept coupons that “do not scan” and I have read that if coupons do not go through, DG won’t accept them. Darn, I will have to see.

  24. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    They also have Nivea Mens body wash on sale for $2.75. Use the $3 Nivea Mens Coupon to get this free! I used 3 of them and the extra cash (.75) actually was deducted from my additional purchase of $1.00 and the tax!!!!

  25. Krista

    This will be a $4 moneymaker in 2 weeks at CVS. Get $4 ECB when you buy one for $4. The limit is 2, so buy 2, and use either the B1G1 or the $4/2, pay $4, and get 8 ECB.

    • Amy

      Good tip!

  26. Maizie

    I went to 2 different DG’s and no space on shelves for these at all. Guess I will try Target since I know they always carry the short ones for about $2. Thanks!

  27. shelly stripling

    Our dollar general didn’t have any space on the shelves for the item. Oh well….

  28. Luckygirl

    Finally my DG got some Gillette Body Wash in today. I was able to score 4 Free!! It was my lucky day today between Dollar General and Family Dollar. Thanks Collin!!!!!!!!!!!
