About Carrie Rocha
How does the “earn double extra bucks” coupon found in the CVS ad today and last week work? I used one last week and thought I had earned double bucks but after looking at them now, they weren’t doubled. I also used a $4 off a $20 purchase and paid for most of my purchase with extra care bucks from the previous week if that makes a difference.
I just answered my own question. The double bucks are only for CVS brand and prescriptions, neither of which I purchased.
Double bucks is 4% back on CVS items purchased rather than the normal 2%, not double the $$$’s .
I wasn’t successful being able to complete the Aveeno coupons/ rebate. Any suggestions?
It looks like the rebate form for the Schick razor in the 2/7 SS is just for the Schick Quatro Titanium. Do you think it will also work for the Schick Quatro for Women (which doesn’t look like it’s a Titanium)? Thanks!
I’m wondering the same thing. I think I’m going to send it in anyway, and just see if I get the rebate. Does anyone else know more information on this?
I wasn’t successful either with the Aveeno coupons/rebate and I’ve tried it a few different times this morning.
On another note, thanks for the list Carrie! It’s very much appreciated!
The ROC coupon/rebates brings me to a page that can’t be displayed. Is anyone else having this issue?
Got ROC to work but still trouble with Avenno as it indicates error on page before even logging in?
There is also a $1 off for SoftSoap Nutriserums Body wash in the “Reinventing Beauty” magazine. It’s on the last page…
Sarah,
What is the Reinventing Beauty” magazine?
It’s a magazine that can be found at CVS (and apparently at other drug stores). It’s $0.99 and has a couple of coupon inserts in the middle. The current one has a picture of Courtney Cox on the front, but I think the Spring one is coming out soon. I know readers have “hit or miss” luck on finding them – they tend to float around the store. I found mine next to the paper stands, but not everyone’s CVS has them in the same place. Hope that helps.
Is anyone else finding that the Aveeno is marked for $39.99, not $19.99? I didn’t price check, because it was the sign for this week, including saying that you’d get $5 ECB. I guess I should price check it.
Listerine seems like a pretty good price- 2.99 (after extra care buck) – $1.00 coupon online at coupons. com= 1.99 for 16.9oz
Here’s other stuff I found if needed:
Cocoa pebbles 1.88 w/card- coupon in paper $1/2 = 1.38 per box
Scrubbing bubbles 2.50 with card-.75 coupon in paper = $1.75
Oust spray 2.50 with card-$1 coupon in paper = 1.50
Sorry, I didn’t track which inset, dug through mind back to mid Jan:)
Any ideas on the Aveeno rebate? Is the rebate for the razor valid?
Thanks Sarah I will see if can find one.
Has anyone figured out the trick for the Aveeno deal?
Still no luck with me either. Always get Error on Page.
Got the rebate to print, but went to the store only to find that the correct price for the ageless vitality is $44.00 NOT $19.99!
Making my sad face with you :(
Any ideas on the rebate for the Aveeno product? I still am unable to get the rebate and not sure I want to buy it without rebate?
I’m not sure how wide spread the milk deal is, but in Rhode Island it’s a great deal.
Garelick Farms Milk at $3, get $1 ECB (limit 2).
I know I got milk cheaper than $2 in MN. But, since moving out east, I haven’t seen milk under $2.29 at gas stations and its $4 in the grocery stores.
Thanks for all your help Carrie! You are inspiring!
I had issues with the Aveeno coupon/rebate, too. First, I got an error on the page. I resubmitted and it said ‘thank you your request has been submitted’ but I didn’t get any coupon to print (on screen or in email). I emailed Aveeno and will share if I hear anything. Thanks for the list, Carrie!
The Aveeno Ageless Vitality is not what is $19.99, at least not at the CVS I went to (Eden Prairie). So, the coupons + rebate won’t make this item free since the coupons & rebate specifically say Ageless Vitality. Bummer! I was hoping to try it out for free!
I called on the Aveeno rebate and they are reporting to IT dept but no eta on when it will be fixed.
I got the Aveeno coupons to print. However, at the EP CVS the Ageless Vitality products are $44 – not $19.99, as previously mentioned. Has anyone else found these priced at the $19.99 sale price?
At the two downtown Mpls CVS locations most, if not all of their Physicians Formula Organic wear line is 75% off. Using the $1 off coupon from this weeks insert (2/28) makes them a good deal. (reg price 7.99-14.99)
Kay,
how did you get the Aveeno coupons??! I’d like to try this deal. Aveeno Ageless Vitality is $44. Yesterday at CVS I received a CVS coupon for $5 off the Aveeno Ageless Vitality. I also received $15 off $75 worth of product at CVS.(There are some things I need anyway). I will also get $5 ECB back for buying this product. Plus, use the $5 manufacturer coupon and $10 mail in rebate (if I can get them to work…frustrating)! Deal is:
$44 – $5 (CVS) -$15 (CVS) – $5 (mfg) – $10 (rebate) – $5 (ECB) = $4 for this product.
I just need to figure out how to get the coupon and rebate! Any tricks! ?? I register for them and it says my request has been submitted but nothing pops up! I’ll watch for comments. Thanks!
Figured it out. At the page where it said my request was submitted I noticed my pop up blocker was on. Once I temporarily allowed pop ups I was able to print off the coupon and rebate. Yeah!
Amy – that’s a great deal! That is awesome that you got the extra coupons!!!
I was able to get coupon but not rebate. I turned pop up blocker off and still unable to get the rebate. When I had called Aveeno they said there was a problem with the web site for the rebate? Maybe you just got lucky. I will keep trying and if hear anything from them then post here.
