Has anyone else done the dental rinse deal? I bought a couple months ago and have never received my rebate–also wrote the company and have had no response.

Thanks for putting these up! Another Aveeno deal that would make the products less OOP would be:
1 @ $7 and 3 at $6 = $25
- 4 $2/off coupons
- 4/20 CVS Q
= $13
$10 ECBs back

You can reduce the Aveeno deal further depending on what you get. $10/3 coupon here. http://www.aveeno.com/ageless

hi Heather,
from what I understand those coupons are for the Aveeno Ageless and those are the most expensive items.

Hi Rhonda,
I did not do the mouthwash deal because I read somewhere that the taste was not very good. Sorry I can help. Hopefully someone else will chime in with some input.

I bought the Natural Dentist mouthwash in January (I think) when they had this same deal going on. We’re currently using it, and yes it tastes awful! I still have not received my rebate either. Hmmm….

“L’Oreal Eye Shadow or Liner BOGO (psa at $3.89)
Use $2/1 or $1/1 from the 4/19 RP insert

Does this mean that I would use two of the $2/1 coupons to get it free?

hi Molly,
Yes, some stores will let you use one coupon per item in a bobo sale.

Hi Kait,
The problem with that “deal” is that the $10/3 coupon it’s being used is not being used on the appropriate products.

Hi,
Never posted before, but just wanted to let you know how I used the $10/3 Aveeno coupon. I bought 3 of the Aveeno Ageless sunscreens, which were on sale for $9 each. Total was $27, subtract the $4 beauty coupon and the $10 coupon, new total was $13, which I used $10 ECB that I had from last week. I got the $10 ECB back and ended up paying $3 plus tax for 3 sunscreens. I think it’s a great deal if you have the ECB’s to roll. Janet

I did the same deal as Janet…the Aveeno Positively Ageless sunscreen (both spray on and lotion) is $9. Worked like a charm!
