    I went today and all the signs were still up. I bought 3, 2 Schick Hydro Sensitive Shave gel and 1 Skintimate Shave Gel. No Ecb’s printed off. When I asked the cashier she said you had to buy both since it said schick & skintimate. She would only give me the $4 not the $12 since she said I needed to buy 2 to get $4 🙁

    Didn’t work for me – I bought one of the skintimate and one of the schick.

    I went to 4 different CVS’s in Metro Detroit suburbs and here’s my experience.

    Store 1 – completely sold out but the sign was still posted
    Store 2 – bought last 2 and got $8 in ECBs. My receipts said I could buy more so I went to another store.
    Store 3 – had plenty on shelf with signs that said only select razors on sale. Didn’t say that the shave cream was not producing ECBs so I bought two. No ECBs were produced so I returned them on the spot explaining that the sign didn’t say anything about the shave cream, only about razors.
    Store 4 – had plenty on shelf with sign still posted (including limit of 100). Bought two but no ECBs printed so the cashier went and looked at the sign, took it down and then printed an $8 ECB.

    So happy that all 4 of the CVS’s are within a 4 mile radius that I could check them without going out of my way.

      I’m in Clinton Township, can you tell me which ones you went to so I don’t waste my time?

    It worked this morning when I bought three of the Skintimate. Went back to the same store after lunch and not only did the ECB not print, but the product rang up 30 cents higher than hours before.

      not working today at my cvs but was last night. It may have been a holiday 2 day deal you thinK????

  6. Jessica

    Went this morning and bought Skintimate. The sign said it was eligible for ECB, but it didnt print. Manager said I bought the wrong thing. I returned it ‘ asked for coupon back. If I Get time I may contact corporate, not sure if it’s worth it for $4

    I went to one in Mobile, AL they were sold out of they hydro but they had the light pink skintimate, so I bought it, it didnt have signs and didnt produce the ECB so I returned it.

  8. kaykay

    Skintimate did not work in Knoxville, TN. The cashier here at store 4406, is always a jewel so she returned them to me. I ususally try to shop if I know she will be there.

  9. Farah

    I did it last night and it worked – today at a different CVS in the same town, the shaving creams were no longer on sale. So I didnt even try it. But the first time worked like a charm – bought 2, used 2 peelies and printed out 8 ECB.
    I dont think the deal is working anymore 🙁

  10. squarejellybean

    I bought 4 hydro’s today @ 4.29 each, the EB didnt print so I showed the cashier the sign that said $4 EB back on each one limit 100. She gave me the $16 in EB’s then went and took the signs off here in central CA.

    Cvs here :Houston wiped out nothing and right guard, speed stick, no schyck hydro and no skinmate shaving for about 3 weeks!!

      Thanks for the great find! At my CVS the promotion applied for specific sizes, but all scents. There were a few left and I picked up one but it didn’t print out the EB but the salesperson was very nice about it and printed out $4 for me. No peelies, though.

  12. Cheryl S.

    They still had signs up at the 2nd CVS I went to this evening, so I bought two and they manually printed $8 ECB for me. Then the girl said she better take the signs down. Lucky me, got there just in time! 😉

  13. Nl

    I didn’t work for me. Anyone know if cvs does price adjustments? I think this is on sale next week. Tx

  15. amanda

    i bought the sensitive after midnight and got no ECB. no signs were posted so I couldin’t complain. the only signs were on a box of razors saying you get 4 ecb with purchase of shick hydro razors but nothing about the shaving cream. since it had the 2 dollar peelie i bought it for the hell of it and tried so it wasn’t a HORRIBLE deal. I somehow got the hydro shaving cream,biore pore strips and eggs for 4 something after coupons. was just hoping to get 4ecbs back. oh well.

  16. sfivers

    Bought the Schick Hydro Sensitive Shave gel Tuesday night. It did not print a $4 ECB, so I returned it. The cashier said she had never heard of this promo … and if the ECB was not listed in the Sunday flyer, they don’t honor them.

  17. Marissa

    Anyone know how you find out the sales that are going to happen the nex week at different stores?
    Thanks!

      Marissa, @iheartcvs you can find the upcoming ads.

    I do! But, the managers are the ones to help! If they know ur a loyal customer they send u cpns in the mail! And they let me know by talking to me or some choose to give u the sale paper if they have it a week ahead! Cvs its great! Fiesta they let me know, kroger they give me the sale ad! And friends, some stores tags have. Date at bottom to let u know when sale starts and ends! And some walk the stores wednesdays for inside sales unadvertysed sales! But, most we have to get to know the managers nd cashiers!

  19. edy

    I get up 5am get ready walked fiesta, kroger, cvs. The sales change her wednesday grocery stores! That’s when vendors come in and put cpns on items or tear pads! Find today cpns on sunkist bottles .55 of 2liter bottle! And tuna envelopes pouches .75/2 lent! Ozarka cpns 1dlr of 2/ and then text all my friends! And then work! Its work and have all the cpns inserts in order by weeks! And writte on top of insert date and what’s on them! Easy!

    Same thing…I bought the Mango Skintimate and a Hydro gel right from the shelf where the signs were posted, and nothing happened. Finally they gave me a $4 EB when I kept returning back cuz it didn’t work. Also want to mention to everyone that scan your CVS card until the machine says “No more coupons today”. One day I got $10 off $30 and then I scanned it right after and got $5 of $10. Pretty cool and didn’t know this.

  21. Summer

    I bought 3 today in Ft Lauderdale– $4 ecb tag was still in front of the Schick sensitive……ecb’s didn’t ring up, but cashier manually gave me $4 ecb (not $12 like it should have been)

  22. edy

    Hurray! Schick razors 9.98 and 8.98 cvs this weekend cpns 4dlrs and 2dlrs! Bucks back 4 and walmart $5.97razor with shaving cream if u can use the 4dlr cpn! 1.97

  23. Kaity

    I snagged 5 today. I usually try to avoid “shelf clearing” but it’s the last day of the sale so I couldn’t resist! ECB’s didn’t print on my receipt, so the cashier printed them manually for me. Awesome deal!!
