Cindy where did u find the simple pleasures in the store?
They were by the register in a small cardboard display.
does anyone know if the machine at cvs is still printing these coupons? thanks.
I was there today and did not get them.
Where did you find the wipes. Ty
i was just there and got the centrum q but not the gum
Hi, i just got home from Walgreens. I bought 2 packages of the wipes and i received the $3.00 coupon. So i went and bought another 2 packages and used my $3.00 coupon. Walgreen tells me since i used my coupon I would not recieve another $3.00 coupon on my second purchase. Anyone else have this happen? thanks
That is correct. Register Rewards from Walgreens do not roll. If you notice Cindy’s transactions above, she did them at Shoprite, where the Catalinas will roll. Sorry.
There’s a $10.00 rebate on 3 Centrum and other products. It was in one of the coupon flyers a couple of weeks ago.
Can anyone know we use these flusable wipes as hand santizing wipes on the go, like after my kids games, go to the library?
Did anyone do the cottonelle wipes today at shoprite? is it still working? thanks my cvs had no simple pleasures
& i didnt get a mentos coupon
I could not find the cottonelle 10 count flushable wipes at my ShopRite. Could anyone please help and tell me where in the store they would be?
I got mine in the travel section but I bought 3 and my CAT was only $2. Oh well.
