CVS $4 off $20 Beauty Purchase Coupon + Did You Know?

April 16, 2009 by Tara Kuczykowski 32 Comments

cvs logo It’s been a long time since CVS released a coupon that was valid for the general public. Usually they’re only available to specific cardholders, and sadly I haven’t received any of those in ages. But I’m thrilled to share that there’s a $4 off any $20 Beauty purchase coupon available to us all that’s valid through Sunday, April 19th! (Thanks, Lori!)

So what are your best suggestions for putting this coupon to good use?

Update: Tanya has a great point – use this on the Aveeno deal that starts Sunday!

Also, were you aware that Upromise offers ecoupons that you can load to your CVS ExtraCare card???

Upromise ecoupons are treated like manufacturer coupons, but unlike most other ecoupons, you can actually use these in conjunction with other paper manufacturer coupons.

The amount won’t come off of your total – instead it’s credited to a college savings account. What a great way to start funding your children’s education without even thinking about it! I just load all of the coupons to my account when I get an email that new ones are available and pretty much forget about it.

So if you’re not registered with Upromise yet, what are you waiting for?

Go Green with Kroger Giveaway: $25 Gift Cards

April 16, 2009 by Tara Kuczykowski

Win a $25 Kroger Gift Card Looking for another green freebie? Well, look no further. Kroger wants to give you a reusable shopping bag just for entering their reusable shopping bag contest. All you have to do is design your own reusable shopping tote, and they’ll credit your Kroger card for the cost of one of their bags.

Even better? When you submit your design, others will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite design. Great prizes will be awarded to the top 10 bag designs, with one lucky designer winning a $1,000 Kroger gift card and the chance for their bag design to be sold in stores. Judges will also select four finalists who will receive $250 Kroger gift cards and five runners-up who will receive $100 Kroger gift cards!

How’s that for an incentive to go green? And yes, that’s my not-so-creative bag pictured above.

Need another incentive?

Kroger has generously given me two $25 gift cards to pass on to two lucky winners to help draw attention to their green efforts. I hope you’ll all take a minute to create a bag and submit your design!

How can you win?

Share your biggest barrier to using reusable shopping totes. Is it hard to remember them? Do you have difficulties bagging your items? Would a small credit for using them be an incentive? Can you think of any ways to solve the issue? I’m just interested in your thoughts on the whole issue.

It seems that this coupon is regional based on zip code, but hopefully many of you will be able to print this ~~BOGO Purex Laundry Detergent coupon~~. Print limit reached now.

If you’re lucky enough to be in one of the locales they’re targeting (it should show in the upper left column or click household to verify), run to CVS to redeem it for FREE laundry detergent by pairing it with their BOGO sale through Saturday!!!

(Of course you know I had to print it right away so that accounts for the print limit reached on my image, LOL! Thanks, Mercedes!)

m4mf Join us on Money4Moms tonight to get the scoop on Swagbucks!

Mercedes and I are pleased to have Andrea from MommySnacks.net on to explain the programs and share tips for maximizing our earnings! I’m new to SwagBucks as well, so I’ll be learning along with you.

What is Swagbucks?

Basically it’s a site that allows you to earn great prizes such as iPhones, iPods, concert tickets, gift cards, and more just for using them to search the Internet. For example, an Amazon.com egift certificate is only 45 SB!

Why not get paid for something you’re already doing anyhow? And don’t worry about the quality of the searches – Swagbucks is powered by Google. Plus, they often offer special codes for additional points as well, so it’s not hard to rack up enough points to redeem often!

How do I sign up?

It’s super easy! Just go to Swagbucks and register. Plus, I’ve got an exclusive code for Deal Seeking Mom readers that will net you 5 points when you sign up – 3 points for registering with swagbucks plus an additional 2 points when you enter DEALSEEKINGMOM in the SwagCode box.

(Note: The code is only good for new registrants and expires at midnight PST on 4/20.)

So get yourself all set up, and then listen to Money4Moms tonight at 10pm EST/9pm CST for tips on getting the most bang out of Swagbucks!

Here’s a hint to get you started: Download one of the plugins for your browser to earn without even trying!

Triple coupons up to $0.75 ($2.25 max discount) maximum value and double coupons $0.76 to $4 maximum value (therefore, after being doubled the discount would range from $1.52 – $8.00). Keep in mind that the value of the dictum can not exceed the amount of the item. Limit 25 per person per day.
