I am having problems printing out the Olay rebate form. I went to their website directly and it still is saying there is an error. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Carrie,

Just wanted to let you know that the link to the “how to use Extra Care Bucks” page is wrong – it takes you to general info on how to read coupon lists. I need a lesson on Extra Care Bucks if anyone’s willing to explain – do you need a loyalty card?

Thanks!
Mindy

Thank you Carrie! I have been shopping with PYD at Cub/Rainbow for about 5 months, but just recently added CVS and Walgreens to my TO DO list. I went to CVS last night with $9.99 in Extra Care Bucks. I bought 3 Secret deoderants and a large bottle of Curel lotion (both the brands I prefer.) I had to add a candy bar just to get to the $9.99. It is so invigorating to get a deal!
p.s. I didn’t even try to use the Secret Clinical Strength coupon from the Flu Booklet.

Some one else had asked, but I don’t see any input… Do you think the CVS coupon for Secret Clinical strength with work with the sale this week? I’m hoping to go there tomorrow. THanks for your help.

Jeanne–are you just missing inserts or are you missing all the ads? On holiday weekends there are usually not Red Plums and Smartsource inserts. P&Gs only are included about once a month. Definitely check on Taylortown Preview (mentioned above) on Fridays! That way you know what to expect. If I remember correctly, last year after the holidays there were a lot of inserts, so maybe this next weekend will be a biggie! We’ll see!

What are “Extra Care Bucks”? Does CVS have gift cards? I love this sight. It really helps with the economy the way it is and my husband was laid off most of the year. Thanks to all for the help.

I only had P&G coupons in my Sunday papers. Were there more coupons?

Regarding the missing coupons: I called the Star Tribune about this. Since they’ve started their early Sunday edition, there are apparently more papers being printed than coupon inserts available. Therefore some papers just don’t have all the coupons They are “working on this” (i.e. trying to get a bigger supply of coupon inserts) but weren’t able to give me a date by which this would be fixed. So yes, they’re just putting some papers out there that don’t have enough coupons – and there’s nothing you can do but check before you buy. And in my experience this impacts both the early Sunday edition AND the regular edition.

I think this is very frustrating. It may be more of a problem in some areas than in others (I live in north central metro and often have missing inserts). I’d encourage any couponers who have had this issue to contact the paper so they know it’s bothering people, and will work to get it resolved quickly.

I was only able to print one $3. coupon for the Thermacare. Does anyone know the trick to be able to print a second?

My dh delivers wk-end Star Trib and wouldn’t dream of leaving inserts out–it’s considered an error if customer calls it in and carriers are charged $3.50 per error, which is a lot out of their small checks.
