CVS: Better Than FREE Listerine?!
Well, it looks like the magic coupon machine at CVS is at it again! I’ve heard from a handful of readers that the magic coupon machine is currently spitting out a $3 off any two Listerine (500 ml or larger) or any two Reach brush or floss coupon. If you receive this coupon, you can score the following deal…
Listerine total care or zero mouthwash 16.9 oz $3.99 = $1 Ecb (limit 2)
Buy 2 Listerine Total Care and/or Zero mouthwash 500 ml (=16.9oz size) $3.99 each
Total = $7.98
Use 2 $2/1 coupons found in the 9/19 RP or in the 10/10 RP
Plus, stack with the $3/2 Listerine CVS coupon
Pay $0.98
Get back a $2 Ecb
Final cost both for FREE + a $1 moneymaker!
*NOTE: You can also score FREE Reach floss with this CVS coupon. It’s on sale for $1 this week, so two for FREE after the CVS coupon!
Also, another reader mentioned receiving a $5 off ANY Lumene product coupon from the magic coupon machine. CVS has the small Lumene lotions on sale for under $5, so FREE after the coupon!
(Thanks, Jenni and Meredith!)

Dang, all I get from the “Magic Coupon Machine” are coupons for candy! And I’m on a diet!
Me too!!
Exactly! All I get is the candy qs…so sick of candy.
Me too. I had a strange experience today with the MCM…instead of saying “no coupons available, try again tomorrow” after a few times, it just kept spitting out the same two coupons, over and over and over. And they weren’t even good coupons! 😉 Weird glitch. Did anyone else have this happen?
Me to! I got a TON for Kudos bars?
I got the same ones, 5 times. Don’t know how many it would have printed, but I don’t want them so I just stopped scanning my card.
Same here! What’s up with that?!
i got the same one’s too. throw mines away
What is the magic coupon machine?
Ditto! lol
same here. what is that machine trying to say?!?
Ive got the same candy one’s (DOVE and Snickers) the last 4 times Ive been…seriously? 🙂
I keep getting candy coupons too! LOL!
same here
me too, 4 kudos in a row
I got another $10 physicians formula coupon today.
Me too! I got a blush for $.99!
Me too! I got a bronzer compact on clearance 75% off for 4.12 so I got 5.88 on the rest of my purchases! Very happy!
I got one of these, too! My Phys. F. purchases were just under $10 (got a couple of clearance items) and the cashier told me that I couldn’t use the coupon, but I asked him to just please scan it and see, and of course it worked.
me too, and i found powder on sale for 2.62 and turned it into a nice moneymaker! 😉
WOW!! Love it! Going to CVS tomorrow, hopefully I will get this coupon! 🙂 🙂
I was at CVS yesterday, and the coupon machine spit out the same two candy coupons four.times.in.a.row!! Weird, or what?
I went to several CVSs in my community and in the larger city I live close to and they all gave me those stupid candy coupons. I thought well, this week is a new week maybe I will get something good but no, still candy…in fact thats all I have gotten from those machines since I started a couple of months ago couponing.
I never get an useful coupon either. I don’t know why.
i got the same coupons 3 times in a row at the same machine today!!! And, of course, they’re not for products i would use!
i stood there and kept scanning my card. after the 8th candy and kudos q, i walked away
That’s exactly what happened to me today!
I don’t have the ad coupons…are there any others that can be combined?
How do people get these great coupons from the machine? I also get random candy ones instead.
I hope I get this, I keep getting small candy ones.
We go through a lot of Listerine here!
thanks

where can I get the $3/2 Listerine CVS coupon?
Scan your card at the red coupon scanner machine that is usually at the front of a CVS store. SOME people are getting these coupons.
I also get coupons that are repeats or for things I would never buy 🙁 I have not even been getting the candy coupons.
Does anyone believe what you get out of the magic coupon machine has to do with previous purchases? Such as a marketing technique that spits out coupons on items that you’ve previously purchased?
If u notice, it’s usually the same people who keep getting great coupons and the same people keep getting the not so good ones…
I doubt it, I bought all kinds of stuff from CVS, but they just kept printing candy coupons for me. Sometimes cvs lotion which I don’t buy.
I don’t understand it too !! I had never received that physician cosmetic coupon & other good coupons.
I went to CVS last week hoping to score the $10 off Physicians formula last week and it gave me $3 off physicians formula.. still paid $4 for powder, which is a great deal but I didnt get the $10..
I highly doubt that, I haven’t received a PF coupon yet and that’s the only brand of make up I buy.
No not entirely b/c I got a ton of those Kudos coupons & I have never bought them there.
I definitely believe it’s somehow related to the age and demographics that you put down when you apply for the card. I often scan my mother-in-law’s card because she broke her hip and I’ve been shopping for her. It has spit out coupons for Poise and Depends, etc. even though she’s never purchased those items. She is 84 years old though so maybe her DOB is linked to the card and they assume she’ll need those. I’ve never gotten them from my card. I’m 40. I get the candy ones too.
I read on a blog somewhere that CVS works on cycles. So for three or four months you get all the good coupons, $4 off $20 etc and then when they enter a new cycle you don’t for a few months and others do. Not sure why but I feel like if it’s true then we definitely entered a new cycle about a month ago as all I get now is candy coupons. I’m thinking of picking up a new card from the cashier and seeing if that will be on a different cycle to me.
I’ve been couponing at CVS for about a year and a half and have never received anything but those candy coupons or CVS brand coupons. Neither has my daughter and she is young. We also never get the email coupons. Not once, ever.
I keep getting candy coupons as well.
is there a red machine at all stores? I dont think mine has one…..
They should all have them, when you walk in the door, its a big red machine, ours actually says price checker, but you can scan your card and get coupons 🙂
You can ask a cashier where the machine is in the store.
What CVS coupon for the Reach floss? I don’t see it in my ad. Thanks Collin for all you do!
will check tommorrow hope I get the coupon – https://www.nycsinglemom.com
How you get CVS coupons?
For those who have questions about where to get the CVS coupons, it is from scanning your card at the red machine in your store. If you haven’t seen one there, ask.
Got it, Thanks!!!
Secret trick: Scan your card at the magic machine TWICE! Hope this helps some of you. 😉
Mine only lets me scan my card once, you have to wait 24 hours in between to get more…”sigh” 🙂
I’m sooooo jealous of the 10.00 physicians coupon people. I haven’t gotten any of those, I’m in the same boat as the majority of you, Dove and candy…..I don’t need those either haha
Keep trying! I figured I was never going to get that one… and after about a MILLION Dove/Snickers/Kudos coupons, I finally got the $10 Physician’s Formula! There’s a CVS near where I work so I figure I’ll just stop in everyday and see what the magic coupon machine has in store for me 😉
Hey Colin,
I could not get your Contact page to work, so I am posting this here….
Here is a fun way to earn a few Amazon gift cards. I just stumbled upon it and it look pretty fun. The idea is to make a list of 5 things and post it. Once you post it, related ads will be posted next to it. The idea is to make your list very fun and interested. You want other people on the site to view it and rate it highly because at the end of the month your views/rating will be calculated into $$$ in the form of an amazon gift card. So it is kinda like a fun game to play.
Hope you will post this. I will feel like a celebrity and tell alllll my friends!

i am sick of the candy coupons i never got any of the good coupon sense i started couponing 4 months ago i have been throwing away all these coupon ,such a waste of paper and ink .
I save my expired and useless CVS coupons as scrap paper (X’ed out the front so I don’t get confused), and write out my CVS shopping lists on the back!
Very frugal…LOVE it!!!
I just got this coupon tonight! I was so excited!! I was hoping to get the Physician Formula coupon last week, but I didn’t.
The $3/2 coupon is also good on 2 Reach flosses if you choose. The Reach flosses at my store were $1.99, so if you buy two Reach flosses at $1.99, the $3/2 combined with 2 $1/1 Reach floss coupons makes it a $1 moneymaker.
How many times can you scan yourcard? I give upafter I see the “no coupons today” message. I usually get 2 sets (of candy, of course!) before I give up.
Stopped off at a 24 hr CVS on my way home about 10:pm Monday night, just to see if the magic red machine would be nice to me. Well I got a $5 off Lumene skin care product and a $3 off 2 Listerine or Reach TB or floss
There was definitely a couple Lumene items about $4 (and some $10+), and of course the Reach is 99 cents this week. I didn’t have my coupon “stash” with me, so they are holding a couple items for me until I can go back Tuesday afternoon. I will be using the extra $ from the coupons towards another item or two. Plus I think I have another CVS coupon for Lumene that I might can stack.
Oh and I got a $10 off some weird named CVS brand vitamin, used for your joints. I asked someone in the pharmacy to help me find it. It started with an R…sorry, can’t remember. When we were reading about it on the box, instead of reading that it had Calcium, or vitamin A, B, C, etc, we both were shocked when we read “CATS CLAW!!!!” OMG!!!! I am NOT KIDDING!!! That was an INGREDIENT! I don’t know…maybe I read it wrong. I hope I did! LOL! (***UPDATE*** I just read online that Cats Claw is a vine…whew!) But if you have trouble finding it, it is a couple shelves up from the bottles of HORNY GOAT WEED!!! I sure got a lesson in vitamins tonight!!
LOL!
What a great post LOL!!!!! that was funny ;D
LOL!
The coupon machine at my local CVS was not working yesterday. So who knows what I may have missed out on? I did buy a bag of cat food and two bags of Jack Links and paid 37 cents after using my EC Bucks and a $1 Friskies coupon. This was one of those times that I was glad my husband was with me to see that I’m really not wasting my time perusing the ads and printing coupons.
Boo! The coupon machine at my CVS has been out of order for about two weeks now!!! I did however get a coupon for M&M’s print out at the bottom of my reciept so I wonder if that is replacing the coupon machine?
If so that SUCKS cause you wont get them until AFTER transactions : (
i got some on my receipt too, and the machine said it was out of paper, so maybe they do that when it’s not working. WHo knows? I was just happy I finally got that $10 physicians formula one, as I am one who also never seems to get the really good ones I see others talking about. Not my brand (actually I don’t really have a brand) but 4 items for $1.27 on 75% clearance will make me try just about anything.
I’ve been getting them at the bottom of my receipt for months. Our CVS just got the coupon machine at the store a week or so ago. I usually don’t get coupons for things I buy, but every now and again.
FYI-Yesterday when I was at CVS, there were signs posted everywhere that starting Jan. 31, they would no longer accept expired coupons. When I asked whether that included ECB’s, they said yes. So make sure you use your ECB’s before expiration. I usually do, but every once and a while would get caught out.
