Have you heard about the following deal?

Get $10 off a purchase of $10 or more at Blockbuster.com using code augappreciation.

I just ordered 2 movies- The Ultimate Gift and The Inheritance for $5.35 which included the shipping! I'm not sure how long the code will work.

Melissa,
I've been able to get on the boards without a problem. Maybe your computer just spazzed for a minute.

Stephanie,
I did hear about that amazing deal, but thanks for the rinse and repeat. :)

those ROC ones just won't print for me. Do you know of any other place that might have them? I've looked everywhere today for them. :( Great finds BTW.

Homemom3,
It may be that Roc isn't allowing any more to be printed. Often manufacturers will set a limit on how many internet coupons can be printed and when they reach that limit, the website won't allow anyone to print more. For whatever reason, it won't say that though - it will say something along the lines of "You've already printed this coupon". Sorry about that - I really hate when that happens. You could still pick up the Skin Effects face wash for free though.
