Looking for budget-conscious Mother’s Day ideas? How about FREE ideas? Check out this deal that CVS is having. From Sunday, April 25 through Saturday, May 1, CVS is having a buy one, get one free sale on Kodak Picture Movie DVDs. This is a great deal – but with this BOGO coupon from Kodak, you can get 2 Picture Movie DVDs free. How, you ask? Well, the store pays for one of your discs with their sale, and the coupon pays for the other.
These DVDs are movie slideshows that you make at kiosks inside the store. You bring a CD or memory stick with pictures on it, and the machine arranges them into slideshow format and sets them to music, then burns them onto a DVD.
If your cashier gives you trouble about the coupon, ask for a manager. According to the CVS coupon policy, combining a BOGO sale with a BOGO coupon is acceptable.
Thanks to My Dallas Mommy for this tip.
