    Yay !!! I still have mine because my Walgreens does not carry Almay. Awesome!!

  2. Kassie

    I ordered some on ebay the other day should be here tomorrow, but I like my walmart deal better. I’ll be getting $57.20 overage!

    • todd

      how will get the overage? what are you buying?

      • jessica

        I think I read on another site some people were buying the deodorant which is $2.24, I don’t see how though, isn’t the coupon for cosmetic items?

        • Kassie

          There is am almay makeup remover for only $1.14

          • jessica

            Yea my Walmart used to carry those. I didn’t think the pads were considered cosmetic, I know they are used to remove makeup but i dunno. There’s also a mm on the oral b electric brush head replacements, I will be getting a lot of overage from those, I use to pay for my straight talk cards 🙂

            • Nica

              Hi jessica, how are you gonna make a MM on the oral b electric head replacement? I got a coupon but I dont know where to use it. TIA

            • jessica

              Nica I got them at walmart, they have the 2 counts for as low as $5.47 at some stores, mine has them for $6.27 but i also found some in clearance hth 🙂

          • Ileanna Ortiz

            Hi Kassie,
            Is the makeup remover you’re talking about the towelettes or in the bottle?

            • Nica

              Great! Thanks Jessica! =)

            • Ketsy

              They are doing a little towelette bottle which brings 15. It is trial size as the sticker at Walmart says and so does the register. They either know someone or are not getting checked. The coupon clearly states not for travel nor trial size. To me not worth the scheme nor the hassle.

  3. Laura

    They also have Almay foundation on Clearance for 75% off which made for a great Money maker as well!

  4. Amanda

    Under the deal scenario you said the coupons expires 6/15 might confuse some people like it did with me before I read the whole post.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Whoops! Thanks for catching that. Just updated.

  5. Kristen

    I found concealer 75% off today and made $2 on it 🙂

  6. Crystal Little Bonner

    You can get 2.84 overage on the 15 count of remover as well…if you are lucky enough to find it

    • Kassie

      Thats what I’m doing to get my $57 overage tomorrow! My walamrt has them and I have 20 coupons to use.

      • melissa

        The 15 ct is considered tria size to almay.

        • erika

          The 15 ct are trial size. I tried it two different times today. And each store carries 8 at most. The coupon excludes trial size, even though it’s not marked in the store or on the product, the second manager said because of the count that it is trial size. I want to make money on these but I don’t know where now.

  7. krysta

    I alao have a $4/$12 cosmetics coupon.from.the coupon.machine .. sweet!

  8. brandice

    Glad I held on to all 5 of mines….do any of these colors look ok on African-Americans

    • Conswalla

      They have shades for various eye colors. The intense eye color for brown eyes looks great on African American women. Give it a try.

      • brandice

        Thanks

  9. annne

    cvs dont give oveage?or are you talking about walmart?

    • jessica

      CVS does allow overage you need to purchase other items for it to apply, they will not pay you though like walmart does if you dont have other items to use overage on

  10. Jessica

    Nice, these have a great resell value at the yard sales. Thanks!!

    • Conswalla

      How much will people pay for these at yard sales Jessica? Just curious.

      • Samantha

        I sell some of my “couponing” stuff at yard sales. I try to make it cheap enough so people will buy it, but enough for me to make a profit. For instance, if something normally sells for $5 in stores and I get it for $1, I might charge $3-$3.50 depending on the product. They are getting a good deal, but I am also making a profit. It’s a win-win! 🙂

        • Summer

          I am sorry but won’t agree to sell in yard sell.

          • diana

            Agree, wrong use of coupons!!

  11. heidi

    I actually got 2.86 overage at Walmart recently with this coupon! I bought the 1.14 eye makeup removers.

  12. Nica

    I know its completely off topic but does anybody here know if target accepts overage like walmart?

    • J

      in my expereince they do not allow overage and will only take the coupon up to the price it would be free. Such as if something is 1.99 or on sae 1.50 and u use a $2 coupon it would not allow the full value of the coupon or if u have other things in the purchase it may allow the overage to go to the other things. I think it depends how nice and coupon friendly Target wants to be.

    • kell

      yes target does

      • melissa

        Lately, I have found target has been giving overage. i bought 2 of the $1 Folgers sticks and the $1.50 ips i had went through for the full amount and got $1 overage on the rest of my transx.

        • Nica

          Thanks guys! =)

          • Nica

            I just came back from walmart. I was hoping to make some moneymaker from my coupons but they did not accept my coupons because the item was on sale for $1.98 and my coupon for that item was $3 and they said that it states in the fine print that the amount of the coupon should not exceed the price of the product because they will not give cash back. I still end up buying the items but I’m wondering how others got overage from their coupons and I did not? sad…..=(

    • savedbycoupons

      The ad says limit of 3 and I have 4 coupons left after getting several eyeshadows from Target free (made money on one that was on sale on the Friday before the coupons came out in the Sunday paper. The Wall Street Journal has SS coupons that I get on Friday or Saturday). AWESOME! By the way, my crappy ole WalMart supercenter NEVER has any of the deals posted. Either the price is not the same, they don’t carry the item or they don’t have the size for the posted deal. I wasted my time there yesterday looking for the Almay eye makeup remover and for the Tai Pei Asian Garden before the ibotta deal expires.

      • Coupon Crusher

        I have repeatedly had the same problem saved. I get all excited about the deals and my coupons, go to the store, and leave with nothing. I have even gone to different Walmarts in the area but none of them carry the products in the size listed.

  13. Arianne

    If I buy 3 Almay Products and use 3 MQ’s in one transaction will three $3 ECB’s print? Or must I separate the transactions? ..thanks!

    • melissa

      You’ll get a $9 ecb, not 3 separate bucks.

  14. Dina

    How do u get smart source coupons. I live in California and never se them n the mail

    • Nicky

      I live in Cali too Dina, I’ve never seen the Almay coupons or some other coupons…… Its a bummer too! I believe when they are talking about mail is when they buy the coupons from the internet, but I may be wrong- Usually the Smart Source is in the Sunday paper 🙂 Hope I helped a bit

      • Y

        I’m from Cali too both in San Diego and in central Cali get the Almay as I get both papers from family down south do I don’t know why your not getting it. I also know they may be regional evaluate sometimes I won’t get it in central but my family gets it in SD

  15. Tarri

    Thoughts on the mascara?

    • Sandee

      I bought the Mascara at Walmart, they were 4.97, I paid .97 cents after coupon and LOVE it. In the same transaction I bought the Intense I Color Shadow which was also 4.97 but when I got to the register they rang up for 2.99 as did the eyeliner. I had 190 Almay coupons so I went back and bought 50 eye shadows made a nice chunk of change that i put towards other items. Before anyone judges me for buying so many of things I obviously don’t need that many of, we have been making sets of hygiene and beauty packs and donating them to various places. The tornado victims in Moore Oklahoma, Women’s Shelters and Foster Care homes. It is a great way to get to use my coupons. I get things I want or need and help others as well.

      • Nica

        my walmart here in Cali does not accept coupons which exceeds the price of the item. I still have a couple of almay coupons left but can’t use them in walmart, I already used some at cvs. Do you know what I should do so walmart would accept my coupons?
