Rite Aid Question

SEASONED RITE-AIDERs, I NEED YOU!!
 
Ok - I have only ever purchased one thing at Rite Aid before, and it was this month, so I haven't sent the SCR in yet.  So I have no idea how this works.
 
It seems that there is a SCR on Biore/Jergens/Curel this month (buy $20, get $10SCR), as well as they are on BOGO 50% off.  here's my question:
 
I have $2.00/2 for Biore, $1.50/1 Curel, and $1/1 Jergens. 
 
To get the SCR, what has to be more than $20?  Before coupons?  Or total after coupons? 
 
For example, which scenario is correct?
 
Scenario 1:  (Made up prices, I don't know real ones)
   buy 2 Curels @ 5.00
   buy 2 Jergens @ 5.00
That equals $20. 
Then comes BOGO50%     -$5.00
Then comes coupons
    use (2) $1.50/1 curel   -$3.00
    use (2) $1/1 Jergens   -$2.00
 
TOTAL = $10 (which I get all back as SCR)
 
OR
 
Scenario 2:  (Same made up prices)
     buy 2 Curls @ 5.00
     buy 2 Jergens @ 5.00
     buy 2 Biore @ 8.00
That equals  $36
THen comes BOGO50%   9
Then comes coupons
     use (2) $1.50/1 curel   -$3.00
     use (2) $1/1 Jergens   -$2.00
     use (1) $2/2 Biore       -$2.00
TOTAL: $20  (of which I would get $10 back as SCR)

It is the price before coupons. Hope that helps!

Yes, it is the price before coupons. I think that is the general rule where rebate programs are concerned.
