CVS: Reader's Clearance finds & Other Bargains

I’ve received a few emails from readers recently regarding some additional deals you may be able to score at CVS this week…

I received a $5 off any Nexxus from the magic coupon machine. I also had a $3 off manufacturers from some samples they had sent me (through one of your links) awhile back. I was about to purchase some shampoo which was $6.29 but I have tons of shampoo at home so I wasn’t that excited. Then I noticed that right above the Nexxus products where lots of Nexxus brand brushes. A bunch of them were on clearance. I saw one for $7.99 and I went up to the register to stack my coupons for that brush. Then it rang up at only $4.24! I only used the store coupon and saved my manufacturer for another time since it doesn’t expire for awhile. Definitely price check the brushes even if they are priced higher.

My CVS has Coke on sale B1G1. Plus, there is a B1G1 CVS Coke coupon on cvs.com. So I actually got 4 cokes for free (by using 2 coupons). And remember, the coupon is only for caffeine free or diet.


CVS (Atlanta) has Olay Regenerist Eye Derma-pod reg price $32.99 – clearance price $3.30 AND I used $3 off P&G coupons (expires end of month).

Hi, Collin! I went into CVS today … they gave me a coupon from the machine for $1 off “any” baby wipes. Maybe you have already seen this. But our CVS store has a $1 aisle with $1 baby wipes. So with coupon, the baby wipes were free.

The Peanut Butter M&M’s 12.7 oz bags are ringing up at 99 cents at my CVS. The cashier said it rang up as Valentine clearance. These are not special valentine bags, though, and were in the regular M&M slot. They are a “10% More Free” bag. I purchased 2 yesterday and 4 today and used 3 of my $1.50 off any 2 mars coupons making it 24 cents a bag! I am not sure if this is only at my store because someone scanned something wrong or if it is a nationwide pricing.

(Thanks so much, Kelly, Ashley, Shelli, Andrea and Felicia!)

    Wow- hope I am lucky to find the clearance at my stores!

    • barbara

  2. wendy @ ramblings from the sunshine state

    I get NONE of the good coupons from the machine.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      me neither…nothing every good….

  3. Ashley

    Thanks. I’m hitting my CVS today @ lunch. The “Magic Coupons machine” is also printing out $1 off CVS baby wipes. I got one yesterday. Travel size wipes are .99 making them FREE.

  4. feliciaramirez

    CVS is my NEW best friend! I felt like I was in Coupon Heaven: they celebrated my savings, the cashier said he loves seeing totals go down to $0.50, they place coupons on their products throughout the store — oh yeahhhhhhhh! Thanks Collin for everything EVERYTHING you do! Our financial future is shaping up to be rather beautiful while we bless others by donating from our stockpile. Bless you!

  5. Melissa

    The Colgate Wisp 8 ct mint were on clearance for $1.24 at my store and use the 1/1 coupon expires 2/26 to make it .24 cents! My store is in Maryland.

    • melinda knight

      which insert are the colgate wisps in?

      • Tawanda

        2/6 SS

  6. Kara

    I may have to make a trip to CVS this week.

  7. Rachel Jokela

    ANyone else find the coke on sale Buy one get one free at their stores?

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      It’s on sale in Fayetteville, GA! So excited that someone pointed it out before I went so I could print out the coupons!

    • Jennifer S

      It’s BOGO Pepsi in KS.

  8. Ashley

    WOW! I’m not sure even what the eye derma pod thing is but I REALLY want one! (lol) Taking my coupons and going to spend some time SHOPPING! Can’t wait!~ Great job to everyone for reporting in there finds I love it!

    • feliciaramirez

      Go Ashley, go go go! Not sure what it is either (ha!) but for $0.30 each I’m willing to give them a whirl…and possibly as gifts! I researched the web for other pricing (to make sure it was a deal) and the least expensive was Amazon for $16, I believe.

    • melinda knight

      where r the $3 off coupons for these….my P&G inserts only have $3 off Regenerist moisturizer or cleanser….

      • Liz

        Does anyone know where these Qs are??? Thank you 😀

        • feliciaramirez

          (Atlanta) Hi Melinda and Liz! The coupons I used were from the P&G Olay Regenerist (I believe the very one you mentioned). It went thru with nooooo problems. Luck!

      • feliciaramirez
  9. Sylvia

    The coke coupon actually doesn’t match with the sale. The B1G1 coke sale is on the 2 Liter. The coupon is for 20z.

    • Shannon

      OK thanks – I thought I was reading the coupon… trying to think how this would work??? It won’t!

      Unless…. you buy (2) 20oz and get (2) 2L free, plus she did the BOGO for 2 more free… that would total 4 free.

      • Leah

        This post doesn’t specify which product she bought…maybe the 20oz are on sale, too?

        • Sylvia

          I used the coupon on Sunday and the 20 oz were not on sale at my store. But I know sometimes sales/ads do vary by region – so maybe they were on sale at her store?

          • Leah

            Any chance you remember the price of the 20oz? Should be able to use the BOGO CVS Q w/ the $1/2 MQ that was available a few days ago, at least.

            • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

              1.89 or 1.99 plus tax

            • Nataliya

              BOGO CVS coupon is only for diet coke 20oz. but might work for regular coke too.

            • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

              $1.69 for the 20 oz. and our ad states 2 liter cokes are BOGO.

            • debra

              I did this the other day. The 20oz was priced at $1.69 each! Which is a lot but used the $1/2 & BOGO so made it etter. Hubby likes to take these to work.

      • Ashley

        I submitted this deal. My flyer said B1G1 on Coke 2 liters. I had already printed out the CVS coupons and honestly can’t remember now if it said 2 liters or if it WAS in fact for the 20 oz that are on the website now. The coupon didn’t scan, she manually entered 2.09 (the price of each Coke) off as a CVS coupon. Not sure if it was an error on both our parts or if the coupon has changed! Either way, I got 4 Coke 2 liters for free. And again, note that the coupon I had was for Caffeine Free and Diet only.

        • Desiree Torres

          Ladies, remember to use your coke points from my coke rewards. I just got 2 coupons in the mail for a free coke 20 oz. for entering the points gotten from codes under the coke caps! These help for sales such as these.

  10. debra

    Off topic but need some help from some fellow Amazon moms/Hipsters. I am trying to order diapers using 2 20% codes (one XY & one XJ) and a $10 off code. It is not letting me stack these codes and is only applying the one 20% & Subscribe & save discount/Amazon mom discount. It keeps telling me to refer to my coupon for information. Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong? I ordered on the 18th with no problems stacking. Can you only do one order a month? Any help is appreciated.

    • Katie

      You can only use one $10 Amazon code per month. They are stackable but if you have already used a $10 code this month, you will have to wait til next month to use it. Hope that helps!

      • debra

        Thanks Katie. Does that apply to the 20% codes as well?

        • Heather

          I didnt think you could stack any of the 20%s anymore since they made them all start with X. Also The 20% seemed to only work on one item in my cart vs adding 2 boxes of diapers. I had to separate orders.

          • Kristin

            I was able to stack two 20% off codes just last week. I also thought I read somebody’s post saying that if you use a different e-mail address, you can use more than one $10 off a month?

            • debra

              I opened another amazon account using my husbands info and was able to use the $10 for the wipes plus the additional momwipes promo and subscribe & save for a total of $1.51oop. It still will not let me stack two 20% codes for a diaper order. I was able to stack two 20% codes plus a $10 code a few days ago on my acct but now it won’t let me even with a new amazon acct. I called Amazon and they could not get it to work either. She said they have been receiving a lot of calls regarding these promo codes and it is under investigation. For my frustration she did give me a $5 credit.

      • asma

        hi ,are you sure that they work after a month , because i made an order last month 1/21 ,and yesterday i tried to make another one and the 10$ off didnt work .

  11. Dorinne

    Finally a baby item I could use! LOL We keep baby wipes handy, great for camping or just to have in the car in case you get dirty on a hike or whatever. 🙂 I’m going to have to check CVS this afternoon and see if I can get the coupon.

  12. I want candy! :-)

    Where did you find the $1.50/2 Mars coupon used for the Peanut Butter M&Ms? I checked coupon database and couldn’t find it. Thanks!

    • Heather

      Not sure which insert it came from. I think it was to expire 3-7-11

    • Noelle

      It is in the 1/23 RP. hth

      I hope I find this deal at my CVS!

    • jessica

      1-23-11 RP

  13. Valerie

    Can someone help me out? I searched all my 2011 coupons fliers and can’t find the Orville Redbacher Popcorn coupon to pair with RA’s sale. Was it just a local one?

    • michelle

      I check the coupon database and I don’t see it coming up

    • NC_Anna

      01-23 SS Orville Redenbachers Gourmet Popping Corn
      3 pack or larger $1.00/2

      May have been regional

      • Valerie

        Think it was regional, as my 1-23 SS has Jolly Time Popcorn. Bummer!

  14. Nikki Zang

    I wish we had a CVS! A magic coupon machine sounds awesome!

  15. gayfarn

    Michigan here…. We have Pepsi products on sale B1G1F….not coke! 😐

    • debra

      Same here in Western NC. Thought I might use the buy Doritos get a Pepsi free to get two free Pepsi. Then I realized we don’t like Pepsi. Still might do it just to have the soda for the kids friends.

  16. Cheryl

    Next week, nexxus is going to be spend 20 get 10 ecb. You might want to save the coupon for next week if you get it.

  17. Dana

    I bought a pack of mentos, 2 Sobe Life Waters, 1 Colgate Pro-Clinical and Clean & Clear Facial soap this week with a total bill of $.69! The cashier thought he rang me up wrong, LOL!

    Can someone please explain the ‘coupon machine’ to me? I hit CVS weekly and don’t know wha this is! Help!

    • imaurora1

      It’s normally the price checker/scanner located in each store. “Magic” coupons print out when you scan your CVS card.

  18. Nichole B

    I was at my CVS last night and they had boxes of ALL free & clear detergent (perfect for babies or sensitive skin) on clearance for $2.12. I didn’t have any ALL coupons with me, but got a couple boxes anyways. Such a good deal! They had a whole wall of clearance stuff. Gillette bodyways, LOTS of makeup and many other things. I love CVS clearance.

  19. Elizabeth

    I just left CVS found Colgate Pro Clinical Daily whitening and daily renewel 50% off! Its in the regular toothpaste aisle I scanned them to make sure I grabbed the right one and it was really 1.37!!! I bought four and use four $1 off Colgate coupons that I had left. I also purchased the last EOS lip balm for 2.99 (not marked, I scanned it) and received a 2.99 ECB!! My total was 1.78 after coupons and using a $3 29 ECB that I received in a birthday email from CVS, so a money maker trip for me!! Yay!

  20. Nataliya

    where does cvs had scanning machines so i can check up prices myself? because it’s time consuming and not professional to ask clerck to do that. I just prefered to do it myself!

    • Valerie

      Most CVS stores have a nice “Red Machine” which if you scan your Extra Care Card, will give you free coupons. You can also check prices using that machine.

      • Nataliya

        i had no clue that you can do price check on red machine too!

    I get so jealous of all the CVS deals outside of NY although every so often I do snag a bargain.

  22. Kiesha

    Today at my CVS the Colgate Max Whitening with mini bright strips was on clearance for $1.69. They generate a $2 ecb so even without any coupons it was a .31 MM! 🙂

  23. Andrea

    My CVS had bags of dark chocolate M&Ms for $.22. at the check-out. The clearance tag says $.67, save 25%, but they rang up $.22 last week and yesterday too. I don’t have the Mars candy coupon, so not sure if it would work with them or not, but it would be worth a try.

  24. Mitch

    I must hit that magic coupon machine!
    And, I just got my $10 gift card that I paid $5 for from mamapedia, sent there by hip2save!
    thanks, CVS is my fav!

    I didn’t take advantage of this but I have seen various shades and brands of hair color on clearance at 75% off. I went to like 4 or 5 different CVS and they all had different selections, but none of them had the shade I used. I didn’t care about the brands, but I have black hair so blonde shades won’t work. But that’s the majority of the clearance shades. Some were brown but they were already out of stock. The price came down to about $1.99 to $2.49. Plus there are quite a few $2 coupons out there, so it would have made free or super cheap hair color (if I could find my shade).

    I didn’t have any good magic machine coupons lately. It must be regional / account-specific.

    Oh but I did score some clearance V Day chocolates (Disney Princesses crispy rice hearts) for my daughter at 75% off. 🙂

  26. april

    I spotted the big LifeStyle condoms box (and others) 80% off making these $4.xx!! Double check the expiration date as these expired 9/2011 and the shelf below were regular price with a differ UPC #

  27. Andrea

    No Eye Derma-Pod for me here in N. California. Rang up regular price 32.99 🙁

    • feliciaramirez

      (Atlanta) Sorry Andrea. I actually went back tonight to see about scooping up a few more boxes and send the Hip2Save ladies…but, the shelves were empty. No surprise – big savings.

      • Bobby

        Which Atlanta CVS did you go to? They did have the Regenerist pods in North Atlanta area stores.

        • Felicia Ramirez

          Hey Bobby! I shopped the one on N. Druid Hills Road, Atlanta. Did you find some, by chance?

  28. Laura

    Ugh-not getting good coupons out of the machine lately!! Happy with $0.99 Purex detergent though-4 boxes under $5 is a good deal in my book. And I got the last EOS lipbalm to use on our cruise next month-lemon with sunscreen-all in all not a bad day 🙂

  29. Becky

    Yes, the 10% more Peanut M&M (12.7 oz. total) bags rang up at $.99. THANK YOU!!!

  30. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I was at CVS and they had the Reach Access Flosser for $.99 pair with the $.50/1 Reach coupon and its $.49!

  31. Heather

    I found the Colgate Wisps on clearance for $1.12 and was able to use the .75 cents off coupon. I also found tons of make up still on clearance for 75% off. I had five Rimmel $1.00 off any Rimmel product coupons – I bought a bunch of make-up that was down to $1.09 so with the coupons, it came down really cheap. I scanned the Olay Eye Pads but they were still full price.

  32. kaymo

    I rushed over to CVS after work today and stocked up on peanut butter m&m’s! Thanks for the hint, I’m going back tomorrow to look for more clearance items!

  33. Shelly

    The peanut butter M&M’s were not on clearance at my store. 🙁

  34. ashley

    i ran in today and saw the mge with a stack of 75% tags…..will def be going in tomorrow with my binder! yay for being off work tomorrow!

  35. Rachel

    I found this same deal at my CVS with the hairbrush ringing up at $4.24. However, I did not get the extracare coupon for it. So when I went to use my $3 off “a Nexus purchase” (the other coupon in the above picture) I was informed that this “did not qualify as a hair care product…they mean shampoo or conditioner.” The Nexxus coupon just said “no qualifying product purchased” when the cashier rang it up. It is still a great deal, but not as good since the $3 off coupon doesn’t work. And how on earth is a hairbrush not a hair care product???

  36. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I got a $3off physicians formula makeup. They have that make up spend $10 get $7 ecb/ found liquid foundation with a $4 offf manf q peelie. So $11.49-$4 – $3 – $7ecb = $2.21 MM!! =)
