RobsChica said:The larger packs of 9.99 batteries that are in the circular aren't as efficient in the $15 ECB deal; you have to buy 3 (29.97 before tax) to get $15 back, which means that even with the '$5 off 2 packs' coupon that still means you've paid 9.97. If you get the 4 packs for 5.99 each for 23.96 before after the $15 ECB and less $10 from using 2 '$5 off 2 packs' coupons you've made some change, depending on the tax in your area. I only made 6 cents after tax, which is still better than paying anything. The cashier guy complimented me and said it's a good one he's going to have to use. My husband said I was beaming!

where can i find the $5 off 2 packs coupon?

I found some AAA batteries with .50 peelies in the school supplies aisle.

I feel bad that someone took all your $5 off 2 packs coupons, the people around here don't do that. There are still some in my local store on the tearpad next to the Duracell end cap.

I know the economy's bad but swiping ALL the coupons, especially to resell, is sinking pretty low.

I totally agree. I won't buy the coupon from ebayer who took the whole stack of coupons.

thanks OP! got 2x4AA's

As of today, they changed the Duracell promotion purchase requirement to $19.98 instead of $20.00. Today my receipt says "offer limit reached $59.94". Apparently they decided to allow people to get 2 of the $9.99 packs and still get the Extra Bucks. That 2-cent reduction happened as of this morning.

myempire said:eh, newbie question: for Duracell, the offer is limit 3. So does that mean we can reuse the $15 ECB to pay for the next 2 transactions until 3 is reached? (rinse & repeat)

Thank!

Absolutely!

I went to the 4th CVS I've been this week and finally saw the empty cardboard where the $5 coupons were supposed to be, otherwise I thought the coupons were not available in SoCal. It seemed impossible for me to find the coupons, so I decided to make the purchase with only a $0.75 mfr coupon. I bought a 16-pk AAA @ $9.99 and one 8-pk AA(with free screwdriver) and one 8-pk AAA each @$5.99. I guess if I buy another $18 of Duracell, I will get $15 ECB.

thanks for that
bah, no luck w/ the store coupons, maybe i'll keep looking. Ah i had some of those $2 coupons too, but they expired Oct 30th. Have yet to see any more of those either elsewhere. What lousy timing/luck i have for buying duracell rechargeable batteries.

Well, YMMV but there IS hope for the $5.00 off coupons after all. Today I went to CVS to buy the Duracell batteries and take advantage of the ECB offer, coupon or no coupon. To my surprise, there on top of the display were two pads of the coupons, and this was a store that definitely did not have the coupons there two days ago. I know because I had checked this store. The pad of coupons had something sticky on the back to attach it to the display (think super Post-it Notes), because as I tried to pull off a coupon the whole thing came off but I was able to easily reattach it. Translation: the coupons were not on the original cardboard backing, they were simply stuck on. Why they weren't there 2 days ago, I have no idea...I'm just happy to have found them. Love those free batteries!
