My Name is Josie and I live in sunny Southern California and I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. We all know that living in California is a task of it's own and saving in California IS possible! I started this blog mainly to share all the awesome deals out there and show others how to save in any area of life. Even though you may make the commitment to be frugal and pinch your pennies doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice!
Did anyone get their refund for the last “Try me Free” offer?
(I didn’t )
It takes about 10 weeks…so, it should be late Sept.
Thanks
I’ll wait awhile longer then I guess…
(before I explode and start firing off angry emails to Customer Service)
(ha-ha)
I haven’t received it or Betty Crocker rebate or Smirnoff rebate yet.
For the Smirnoff rebate I checked my status and it says that I qualified and that it’s processing. You should check on your status here http://www.cmspromocheck.com/diageo/
Thank you–mine said the same.
I never received my Try me offer for the breakfast items
don’t think I will be trying this one…
I’m still waiting too!!
yes
I got the one for the breakfast items but it did take a LONG time! Guess I was lucky to get it at all from the sound of it.
I got mine, too. But it also took a long time, and I did it pretty close to when it started.
Yes, I already got my rebate from the last one. It was around $16 and I want to say I got it like a month ago…
I am curious…
Did you find and buy everything at one Vons store (only one receipt)?
or could you not find everything in one store,
(did you have to go to a second Vons),
and therefor had to submit two receipts?
Last time I had to go to multiple stores to get the products on the rebate so I sent in multiple receipts and got my refund no problem (although as Josie said it did take about 10 weeks). Smirnoff rebate was really fast though – like 4 weeks.
Von had all the items. one receipt
Awesome! Thanks J!
Whoo hoo!
I haven’t received smiroff rebate yet either. I submitted in May…. i don’t know where i should contact to…. bummer..
you can check your smirnoff rebate online at http://www.cmspromocheck.com/diageo.
they take forever
Check it online. It will tell you the status
Could you please tell me the address for checking status? I can’t find anywhere..
Thanks a lot!!!
OMG!! I just checked my status and it said that I am not qualified.
Because 1 I didn’t buy qualified products
2 I am not over 21!!!
Hello??? How could be…???
It’s bummer that I didnt’ keep my receipt…. can’t do anything…
I just called DIAGEO? to ask about rebate. She said she will send me a check $25!!! What a relief!
I didn’t do the Smirnoff, still waiting on the Vons GM one.
I haven’t received my Von’s either and it has been about 9 weeks, I only submitted one receipt.
I just got my Von’s gm rebate in the mail today
Woo hoo — thanks for the heads up! I still have not received my last GM rebate either, but I remember the first time they did this (January I think?) it took about 12 weeks to receive, maybe even a bit longer. FYI, on the ink-saving front, I also found a .30 Yoplait Simplait Q in the 8/26 SS (on the same page as the .50 Fiber One Q). BTW, someone asked about splitting this rebate into 2 transactions… since the rebate form says receipt and not receipt(s), I personally just got everything I could find in one shopping trip last time (I think I was missing 2 items). Would be interested to hear if anyone has successfully submitted multiple receipts for one of these, but personally I don’t think I’d risk it.
My Sunday paper did not have one yikes!! Only smart source inserts. Darn Vegas. Is there somewhere I can get one online? I know it has to be an original. Thanks all!! I’m new and love this site.
I am in Orange County, CA and I get both the OC Register and the LA Times Sunday papers and neither of them had this offer. Exactly what inserts are they in? the coupon inserts (RP, SS) or what?
I live in OC & get both papers. It was only in the LA times one. SMartsource had it along ith all the coupons to go with it. I didnt even get the coupons for it in OC paper.
Look again Daniel. It was so big I missed it. Thanks Laura H. for the info that it was in the LA Times.
I wonder if the Try Me Free rebate forms will be available in store at VONS like it was last time around.
Nothing in the San Diego papers either
I got mine from the UT! It is in the SS #2 (Black Angus on the cover) and it is around page 6. HTH!
I am in N.Ca and I didn;t receive the insert either.
I am also in OC & was excited to find rebate form but was not in my Register paper. Please let me know where this can be found or if someone can be so kind to mail me a form- I can pay for postage. Thank you!
LA times paper only
I received my rebate back in June it was $27.
My rebate form came in one of the SS inserts. I have 3 extras. First 3 to email rmproffitt@gmail.com, I’ll mail it to you. I just recently received the GM rebate so I was excited to see that they’re doing another one.
Just out of curiosity, what area are you in and what paper was it in?
I emailed you
! Thanks!!!
All of my extras have been claimed. Daniel, I receive the LA Times and I live downtown. Although recently they have been not filling the inserts correctly. Today I only received 3 RPs and 3 of one of the SS.
I’m right in Los Angeles and got one in my LA Times… it was in one of the Smart Source inserts (the one with the DirecTV ad on the front).
Thanks. I looked more carefully in my SS coupon insert from the LA TImes and I found it.
Laura, where in LA are you? I’m downtown. I’m always looking for other couponers to possibly swap or shop with!
I am in OC and I got one in my LA Times
There is also a .75/1 Fiber One nuttty clusters & almonds coupon that can be used
I am in Corona and get LA Times and Press, my LA dis not have it but the Press did. It was in the SS with Directv ad cover.
I live in Corona as well and my LA Times DID have the rebate in the Smartsource insert (Direct TV cover) – it’s about midway through.
LOL Yep it was the Times, my kids switched my stacks… I have 2 extra 1st 2 emails can have them, if you didnt get them couponcrazycp@gmail.com.
Emailed you. Crossing my fingers.
My San Diego UT SS had it.
I want to trade mine for $1 silk almond milk. Its a printable located in the recent Ralph’s matchup. Email megulle @ sbcglobal dot net if interested. Thanks!
I noticed today while filling out the rebate form, that they are now asking for the UPC to be printed on the receipt. The previous rebate never asked of this, so keep this in mind before you put all your groceries away like I did:)
I.E. L.A. Times did not get one
Hi ,
I know some of you did not get the rebate form, and I would like to extend help. I have 6 extra copies . The first 6 emails can have them. cgmickey80@yahoo.com
Hi! I just emailed you, hopefully I was one of the first 6! Thanks for the chance!
I have 4 extras! E mail me at lyndabasulto@yahoo.com I will mail them to the first 4 responses.
I only have one extra but if someone needs it email me at macgodess@gmail.com. I will mail it to you.
I just bought 3 L.A. Times and for some reason they all had 2 of the same exact SS so now I have 5 extra rebate forms that I am more than happy to mail to the first 5 people who email me at sweetpurple1225@aim.com : ) I will have them out in the mail tomorrow morning : ) Good luck everyone…….
FYI: I still have 2 rebate forms left : )
I also got 4 I’m not going to use.
Is anyone in the Hemet area that wants to trade?
Email me at ashleyengle14@yahoo.com
Pavilions has most of these items on sale this week. I didn’t use any coupons on them (to simplify the rebate process) and it only cost about $26 to buy every item on the list. Super fun to buy so many items and know you will get all your money back!
I have 3 extras
Email
Brandee.archer@yahoo first 3 gets them
if i purchase all the items and use my $10 catalina will that lower my rebate amount??
It may very well. I wouldn’t try it.
i have 1 extra rebate form, email me @ dainlai@yahoo.com and i will send it to the first person who responds
I have extra rebate forms.
Hi Tina can you send me a rebate
Just wanted to share that when I went to my Vons store today they had an end cap displayed with alot of the items and they had rebate forms on a tear pad!!!!
@Monique, sure. Please email cemily777@hotmail.com
Is the UPC barcode number that you have to write on the receipt the entire number on the product barcode or excluding the two numbers outside of the barcode lines?
Does anyone still have any extras? I will pay for a stamp. I know it is late but I could buy the items and then send in the rebate when I get it. Thanks. Please send to bbmama09@gmail.com. I would really appreciate it.
