About Carrie Rocha
I’m totally going to Origins tomorrow I have a bottle of cleanser that’s completely empty. Thanks Carrie – I love your site
I wonder if you got to Origins later on in the day, if they’ll still honor it? .. or do you have to go right away in the morning; would they run out, you think?
I think they did something similar last year, so maybe you could call your closest Origins location and ask them if they anticipate running out of free cleansers.
Thanks, Amber… good idea :)
FYI – I’ve seen stands in Rainbow that have the Kellogg’s reusable bags. No form, no money to send in – just pick one up with your 2 boxes of Kellogg’s cereal.
Origins runs out of A Perfect World Antioxidant Cleanser but they have tons of the Checks and Balances- Last year you had to fill out a client form (like a quick consult for what you do for skin cleansers). I even took my hubby with me, he got one too so I had backup when I run out and we went after work around 5:00pm.
WALGREENs -On April 22nd only, you can take your empty ink cartridges, black or color, to the photo center at Walgreens and get them refilled for only $1. This is a great opportunity to not only get cheap ink, but to reuse and recycle as well. All refills are 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Just think of all the coupons you’ll be able to print!!
Refills are available for the following printer brands:
Dell
HP
Lexmark

You can also visit Walgreens Ink Center for additional information or specific printer models. http://www.walgreens.com/topic/inkrefill/printer-cartridge-refills.jsp?_requestid=86069
This was such a great deal last year but I don’t think Walgreens are doing it this year. I called both stores in Woodbury and they are not.
bummer i live in woodbury too and have saved my 4 cartridges for this
It’s $1.75 postage fee on the Kellogg’s bags.
FYI…the only Disney Store now available in the Twin Cities is at the MOA and they are already out of their Earth Day Bags. I called ahead and she said that they only had about 250 bags and that they were already gone. So glad I called ahead.
Thanks Sandy. I may not head out there, especially if Macy’s is out of the Origins cleanser.
I called this afternoon and they said they are out of the Disney Earthday bags but will allow you to choose a different reusable bag; Hooray for DISNEY!
I went to Macy’s around 2 PM today. They said they were out of the full size cleansers but gave me three little containers with barely a teaspoon in of my choice of the two cleansers. Very disappointing as I did receive one last year from this store and didn’t get there until much later. Did anyone get a full size one today or did I just pick the wrong Macy’s to go to this year?
My daughter and I stopped in at Macy’s at 5 p.m. Friday, and the counter staff at Origins said they’d sold out of all the cleansers by 1 p.m., said they were first store in the cities to be out of it that day (Maplewood Mall). We also each got the little sample bag, meh.
Ella,
We both picked the wrong Macy’s as it was Maplewood I was at, too! LOL Next year Rosedale!
