It was a slow week as far as freebies in my mailbox and inbox! Probably the most exciting thing I got was the coupon by email for a $10 gift card and Mustela gift pack from USA Baby. If there is a USA Baby store near you, sign-up for your free gift and tell me what you got for your city’s store! I haven’t redeemed my coupon yet, but hope to sometime this week.
Pantene Color Expressions – I got my free sample from Walmart (no longer available) that contained a 0.34 oz. pouch of shampoo and another pouch of conditioner. A coupon for $1 off Perfect 10 by Nice ‘n Easy was also included. You can also request this sample directly from Pantene. I shared this freebie with you here on July 8.
MultiGrain Cheerios – I got my free mini box of cereal from Walmart (no longer available).
I hope you had a more exciting freebie week than I did! Of course that means next week I’ll probably get some fun things in my mailbox. Please share with us what you got in your mailbox or inbox by leaving a comment.
I think I’ll call tomorrow. I was just going to let it go, but I’m a little more annoyed the more I think about it…mostly because they didn’t honor the coupon the way they were supposed to. Thanks for your tips and advice, as always! I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Katy – I looked at my printed email again and it clearly says $10 Gift Card AND Mustela Gift Pack. I guess maybe that store decided to change the promotion. I’m headed to the Houston store on FM 1960 tomorrow and I’ll report back on the USA Baby post about my experience. But thanks for the heads up – now I’m ready to politely question the promotion if they try giving me an “or” option. If you’re still a little annoyed by your experience, I encourage you to call corporate! Tell them how you felt about how you were treated, believe me – they want to know these things!
Thanks! I should also add that I redeemed my coupon at the USA Baby on Westheimer in Houston. I’d be curious to know what happened with other people who went to that location!
Thanks for letting me know, Katy! We’ll find out if your experience was a typical one after we get some more comments from readers who try it. I hope to try it soon – maybe tomorrow! I’ve updated that post to give everyone the heads up!
I signed up for the USA Baby deal and my email said I could redeem it for a $10 gift card/Mustela gift pack. I went to pick it up today and the lady made me choose between the two. The email didn’t say “or” anywhere on it, but I just wasn’t in the mood to fight with her. I wanted the gift pack, but of course she told me it was either/or after I’d already selected $10 worth of merchandise. oh well.
I signed up for the USA Baby deal here in Indianapolis, and got a coupon for a $25 gift card! yay! Thank you! :-)
My most exciting day was Monday. I got Yogi tea, Aveeno lotion, Gillete body wash, and the Multigrain Cheerios. I posted a picture of them all on my blog:http://bargainsleuth.blogspot.com/2008/07/mail-call.html
I got several freebies this week: Multigrain Cheerios, Luvs coupons, Playtex wipes sample, and more. Links to those that are still active are posted on my blog: http://luv2bfrugal.blogspot.com/2008/07/whats-in-your-mailbox.html
I had a decent week for freebies and coupons. Like you, in my mailbox was the Cheerios & Pantene samples. But the BEST couppn arrived this week–the $5 off coupon on LUVS Diapers! It also came with another $1 off coupon that you are supposed to send out to another person. I’ve never before had a $5 coupon for diapers, especially LUVS, which are the only diapers I use! Thanks for the heads up on that great offer!
