Old Spice Total Body Deodorant – Policy/Stacking Lesson
- Retail Price: 2 sticks for $25.98 (2 × $12.99).
- Coupons Attempted:
- – BOGO Old Spice digital ($12.99 off).
- – $5 off $15 threshold digital on select P&G personal care.
- – $4 off 2 Old Spice digital.
- What Actually Happened:

- Final Price: Net $2.49 per deodorant (total $4.99 for two).
