as well to get them for free.

The limit on the Complete seems to be two – I tried it on Friday and got ECBs on both, and my receipt says “Offer Limit Reached.”

Also, I found the Duracell tearpad on a countertop Duracell display on the Photo Center counter. There were coupons in the last P&G too, so it could be an even bigger moneymaker :)

Debbie December 7, 2008 at 8:38 am

A few comments…I have been to two CVS stores, and neither stores knows anything about the “trial” first-aid kits.

Does anyone know where they are located so I can look more specifically?

Also, does anyone have trouble printing coupons at home? I’ve tried both of these links–Firefox says the newest version isn’t compatible with the coupon printer and IE won’t even show the yellow bar at the top.

I have this same problem with SmartSouce, and I know a few other girls that have the same situation.

Thanks!

Does anyone know how much the huggies wipes (plastic box with about 60 wipes) usually is? How about the Huggies bath/soap products. This seems like it might be a good time to use up my huggies coupons that are expiring at the end of the year. (like buy one wipes get 2.00 off of a bath and body product).

Andrea December 7, 2008 at 1:47 pm

I have a CVS question–I made my first trip today! :) (It wasn’t bad, but not nearly as good as the ones I’ve seen here. Still, I consider this my “priming the pump” trip so I can get started.) Anyway, I read that when you first walk in the store, you should go to a kiosk of some sort and print out coupons. I couldn’t find anything like this in my store–does every CVS have one of these?

Thanks so much for all your advice and the deals you post. I’m looking forward to getting in the game!

Bonnie December 7, 2008 at 9:14 pm

Debbie, I have the same problem as you printing the coupons. I’d love to get them for my trip, but I couldn’t get it to work at all. None of the “help” solutions work for me. Any suggestions???

Leanne December 7, 2008 at 10:05 pm

The trial size first aid kits are found with the rest of the trial size products. I got those a few weeks back and they are so handy!

Honey December 8, 2008 at 7:46 am

Debbie-Hi. Target has the first aid kits too-for .97 and I found then on an endcap. I think Walmart carries them, too. Andrea-Hi. Not all CVS have the scanners-a manager in my area said they are only at new stores.

rachel December 8, 2008 at 7:57 am

i tried doing the battery deal. i had 3 $5.00 off coupons. when we got to the thrid transaction it wouldnt take the coupon. the cashier read the coupon and said “limit 1 per family” although they took it twice already. oh well, i still got 4 sets of batteries for .50 cents since i had other coupons to stack!

Danielle December 8, 2008 at 8:37 am

I tried printing the SS Bliss coupon but all it prints out is a full page advertisement for their sweepstakes.

amie December 8, 2008 at 8:48 am

I just wanted to say that the only Bodi Heat packs I found had an expired coupon on the front of them–however, CVS allowed me to use it anyway–just something to check into if you can only find expired ones.

Andrea December 8, 2008 at 12:15 pm

Ditto on the Bliss coupon. Just a sweepstakes ad. Suggestions? Thanks!

Kasey December 8, 2008 at 1:55 pm

Help! I have coupons with no barcodes. Sounds like I’m not the only one having issues…

Kristie December 8, 2008 at 7:48 pm

Danielle & Andrea,

I had the same problem with the Bliss coupons. But then I noticed that instead of clicking on the checkbox where it says “click here” to print it I clicked where it says click here in blue right to the right of the bag of Bliss chocolates. It actually takes you to the Bliss site to print it.

Hope this makes sense.
Kristie

Danielle December 9, 2008 at 11:38 am

Thanks Kristie! I tried going through the hersheysbliss.com website to get the coupon and it says it is printing but that little circle spins forever but never prints. Oh well. I did find a $1 off Hershey’s Special Dark package (11/9 SS) that went perfectly with the deal. I bought 6 bags of Bliss ($18) and one bag of the Special Dark Minis ($2), came to $20 even, used three $2.50/2 couopons and one $1/1. So I spent $11.50 and got $10 back in ECB’s—-not shabby!

Lady Di December 10, 2008 at 5:12 pm

Kristie, I went to the Bliss site and it is not printing there. Same results as Danielle. I even updated my Java and nothing. This is not the only coupon, there are a few others that won’t work as well.

I’ll look for those FA kits soon.

Thank you!

Adele December 11, 2008 at 10:47 am

I’ve tried printing the bliss coupons through 3 different web sites and none of them work. I had this problem with another SmartSource coupon. I’m glad I’m not the only one!

Not all stores have a coupon kiosk. Mine doesn’t. Sometimes I do get coupons by e-mail (like $5 off a certain amount).

Lady Di December 11, 2008 at 1:37 pm

Went to CVS and picked up 3 kits for $2.97, free with coupon. THANK YOU!!!!

Priscilla December 12, 2008 at 4:26 pm

I’m glad the ProMax bars were free after ECB. No one in our house likes them. We tried the cookiesNcream and the double chocolate fudge (this 1 was slightly better) flavors and we didn’t care for either.

Erin December 14, 2008 at 3:48 pm

I found the Theraflu mail in rebate, but it says that you have to send in the actual, unopened product with the receipt or you won’t receive the rebate. Am i missing something? That doesn’t seem right.
