notes:
the aveeno cleansing pads i bought did not count towards the aveeno eb deal. there have been some reports that they work and some reports that they do not.
i think there are 2 types of aveeno positively ageless pads, the one i bought (beige/copper lid - upc 3 8137-101053 0), and one with a green lid (not to be confused with the "positively radiant" cleansing pads, which also have a green lid). it may only be the "positively ageless" green lids that are working now.
if i can figure out and find the correct ones, i will attempt an exchange. that would make the new cost $2.21 if i receive the $10 eb.
as far as the tresemme coupons, they scanned for me earlier today but not this time. (printed the same way) however, from what i could tell - my boyfriend's scanned through on another register at this store. i asked him whether his coupons beeped, but he wasn't sure because he "was thinking about dinner." :)
same goes for using the $10/$50 and $4/$20 beauty on one $50 purchase. we know that the registers in some areas will not accept more than one $/$$ coupon, regardless of the amount of purchase. they were both accepted, but whether the cashier had to push it through or not, i cannot be sure...
update 5/9:
i had read that the aveeno positively ageless pads had been reprogrammed in the system to generate eb. also this shelf sign reads "any aveeno skin care":
so i had emailed cvs thinking they would issue me the extra bucks, but i never received any response from them. since today was the last day of the deal, i planned to show the cashier the sign and ask for the $10 eb to be printed. but the store i went to did not have these signs posted, so i just returned the aveeno for $29.30 on a cvs moneycard. oh and you may remember, i tried to return this stuff for an exchange before and the manager refused because i didn't have my boyfriend's amex with me. this store returned the full credit to the moneycard even though we offered the credit card!
so... cost of both transactions combined: $12.21 - $29.30 refund to moneycard = $17.09 profit ♥
