Also wanted to note that my local Meijer is not accepting the Butera in-ad coupons if the machine indicates they are expired, even though they aren’t. There’s no reason I can see why Meijer shouldn’t accept the coupons – the date is still valid and the coupons have a manufacturer’s address for remittance. Just a heads-up!

There are no coupons for this product in the inserts, but there is a printable! Change your zip over to 62946 over on this page and then come back and click in through this link.

Jennifer sent in this deal on Finesse over at Meijer! There is a $2.00 mail in rebate offer from Finesse available for the Finesse with a Touch of Yardley Lavender! Now the rebate form indicates your check will be for the purchase price, net of any discounts, so I’m not sure if the coupon will be counted. If not, this is a money making deal! Here’s your deal(s):

• Buy one Finesse with a Touch of Yardley Lavender, on price drop for $1.79 through 6/2
  Use the $1/1 Finesse coupon from the 4/21 SS (exp 6/2)
  Pay 0.79
  Submit for mail in rebate offer from Finesse
  Net cost: Free!

Note: you will have to pay for the stamp!
