CVS: Possible Physicians Formula Moneymaker
Well, it looks like the magic coupon machine at CVS is at it again! I’ve heard from quite a few of you that the magic coupon machine is currently spitting out $3 off any Physician’s Formula coupons! If you receive this coupon, you can score the following deal…
Spend $10 on any Physicians Formula Cosmetics = $7 Ecb (limit 1)
Buy Physicians Formula Organic Wear Mascara $10.49
Use the $1/1 coupon found in the 2/27 SS
Plus, use the $3/1 coupon from the CVS Magic Coupon Machine
Pay $6.49
Get back a $7 Ecb
Final cost FREE + a $0.51 moneymaker!
When I was at CVS this week, I think the Physicians Formula eye shadows were also priced around $10.49. Also, if you find any Try Me Free rebate stickers this deal will be even sweeter!
(Thanks, Dealicious Finds & Jill!)
**Check out the rest of the CVS weekly deals here.
I just got $3 off Revlon this morning.
There are peelies on some of the PF products, too… Some had $5 off!
If you don’t need any more makeup right now they have a really nice brush for $10.29.
Darn, the smart source coupon must be a regional one! My SS did not have it. 🙁 I did get the $3 off CVS coupon a few weeks ago and used it when the last $7 EBC promo was running. 🙂
Yeah I got a Neutrogena coupon instead of a Physicians Formula. Ugh!
I had a $7 off Physicians Formula from a few weeks ago. I bought eyeliner serum for $10.99, used the $7 off, and the serum had a rebate for $10.95. Pretty sweet deal!
I did the same thing!
did the same thing yesterday but i had the 3$ off ph f from the mm so turned it into $10 mm with there rebate .
Where did you find the rebate?
I got a $7 off physicians formula last week and held on to it, then got the $3 off this week, I bought one of the new shimmer strips and one of the new eyeliner. There are also peelies on the compacts and powders on the “SSU” (The small cosmetics section that has all the displays on it… i work at cvs) So..
Both of them were $13
Minus the $7 and the $3
Then two of the peelies $6
plus the $7 ECBs
Got the two of them for $1.50 each 🙂
how do the peelies work wit other coupons?
You can use the peelies with the CVS coupons.
If you have other manufacture coupons some stores may not allow you to use the peelies too. Just depends on how coupon friendly your CVS is.
But you can always stack a manufacture with a CVS and dont let any cashier or manager tell you different.
so does the peelie count as a manufacturers coupon? like could you use that with another manufacturers coupon is what im wanting to know, because at target i saw some glade refills that had the peelies and had a couponalready but wasnt sure if i could combine them. and thanks!!
yes, a peelie is a manuf coupon. You are allowed to stack a CVS store coupon with any one kind of manuf. coupon. Manuf coupons start with a ‘5’ (very rare do they start with a ‘9’), If it starts with any other number it is a store coupon
anything that doesn’t print on your receipt or at the machine are manufacture coupons
*with sorry
Kicking myself – went there yesterday and forgot to visit the magic coupon machine. Bought my make-up – and on the bottom of my receipt after the $7 ECB was the $3 coupon.
There is also some physicians formula on clearance. I found pf bronzer that was regularly $9.99 on clearance for $2.49 and I also got the $3 off any pf purchase, so I was able to get it free plus overage!
You the majic coupnon machine hates me!! I’ve only EVER gotten coupns for bags of candy. I’ve used it like 20 times since I;ve gotten my card to. Just $1 off a $5 bag of candy or .50 cents off $3 bag of candy! Then the other CVS (we have two) always says “No coupnos available”. *sniffle* I’m so jealous! LOL!
I work at CVS and
1) The more you use it the more it will be nice to you, but if you don’t scan it when you come in, your coupons will be on your receipt. Its only once a week you get all the good ones and its also the more you shop the better they get. If you forget at check out AFTER the cashier has scanned your card, they WONT print at the MM, they will be on the receipt, so make sure you go to the MM first!
2) The MM doesn’t differ from store to store, if you have already scanned it at one store you are done, you will not get any others at any other store unless you have multiple cards and you scan one at one store and you scan another at the other store.
3) Not everyone gets the same coupon, some are RARE.
hope this helps 🙂
Only curious….I used to get the pharmacy ones ($25 gift card w/ new or transferred prescription) ALL the time. I used it once & have never, ever gotten it again. It’s a real bummer. Is there any rhyme or reason to that? Thanks!
Its a promo we do every now and then and i am not sure but it may only be offered once, ask your pharmacist
I hear you. I keep getting the same exact two junkiest coupons from the machine. If they print me out junk ones and I don’t use them, what make them think that printing me the same two every time is a great thing? I mean that’s just stupid.
Also… the machine often gives me diabetic coupons and I am not even diabetic and have not ever bought anything diabetic! I told their customer service about this and they have no idea how to fix it. They said the machine will give you coupons for things you buy, but that is obviously not true. The machine does not at all give me coupons for items I buy… yet other people seem to get those coupons.
That machine is totally messed up. I don’t think they have any clue how it operates and it’s all just a random crap shoot.
Then get a new card
Unfortunately, most CVS stores around me don’t carry the PF. I had the $7 coupon that expired yesterday, but just couldn’t make it out to the further store that carries PF. Wouldn’t you know that my receipt printed a $3 coupon. I’ve been sick lately and it is killing me to have to pass up all of these good deals.
if it printed from the machine, most cvs’s will honor them even if they’re expired. It depends on your store tho. The manager at mine told me that he would always honor them. 🙂
Also if you ask the manager since they don’t carry that brand if they will work out a deal with you on another brand. Most managers are more flexible with CVS coupons and willing to help you use them, they get scored on it. BUT! They aren’t obligated either, depends on the manager and their discretion, talk to one next time.
I just did this and to make the deal even better the PF that I bought had a try me free sticker on it….. so I made this deal into a moneymaker 🙂

I just blogged about this myself and was about to send you a message! What made my deal even better was that on the Eye Lash Booster there is a Try Me Free Tag!!!
$10.99
-$3 Magic Machine Coupon
OOP: $7.99
Receive: $7 ECB
+$10.99 rebate!
$10 Moneymaker!!!!
Pay with another ECB like I did and talk about a sweet deal!
I did this exact deal! Just sent my rebate out this morning! Love it!
I did this and my store had spend $10 on PF get $7 ECB. I received the $3 CVS coupon from machine plus found a $4 Manf Q peelie. I purchased foundation for $11.49 – $4 – $3 – $7ecb= $2.21 MM Wahooo! (and the reason I went there was for foundation BUT I was not expecting to find this deal!!)
depends on the store. Our local CVS is just ridiculous about the peelies. If you don’t let them remove the peelie at the register (instead of you) they accuse you of cheating from a different product, won’t even see if the register will take the coupon, call the manager, loudly discuss the coupon issue, claiming you can’t use coupons on clearance because they are already loosing money. What? Good thing I am tenacious and not shy even with chaos going on around me. After all, they get paid for the coupon, so what are they making a big deal out of it for? They ended up taking the peelies, the ECB, and ended up with my PF makeup almost free. 🙂
wow I would hate to have a CVS like that.
They are losing profit on the product being clearanced but i doubt they are selling them for less than they paid! Plus..if they dont clearance them, they probably wont sell many to begin with so they are atleast making some money! Do these cashiers think we dont understand things like that? I would avoid that CVS! Good for you for not being shy!
It doesnt matter if its clearance, the company will still reimburse them.
I was just about to send an email about this deal. I scored an awesome deal. I had the $3 CVS coupon from the machine and purchased the PF Eye Booster 2 in 1 eyeliner and serum 24 hr wear. It was $10.99 and I paid $7.99 received $7 EB back and it had a try me free peelie.
I got the $7 off coupon from the machine last week, and thankfully kept it. Bought some eye shadow for $11, paid only $4 and got 7 ECB back! Woo hoo! Love deals like this 🙂
I got the $7 cvs coupon last week (or maybe it was the week before) and wasn’t able to buy any of the PF makeup because the store next to my house was completely OUT of makeup as soon as that coupon came spitting out of the machine…so this week I went to a new store that recently opened was able to find a FULLY STOCKED section – used that $7 cvs coupon plus the $1 MQ on a $10.99 eyeshadow…and then got the $7 ECB!!! WAHOO!! Glad I held on to that CVS coupon! Turned into a $4.01 moneymaker! 🙂
I got $3 off revlon! any good scenarios for that one?
if it doesn’t expire hold on to it bc CVS is redoing their cosmetics and getting the new stuff out there and you can probably get good deals on a clearance item or a sale next week.
Next week (3/6) there are 2 Revlon deals —
Revlon Nail Polish – $3.99 w/$3.00 ECB back (limit 1)
Revlon Eye or Lip – $7.49 w/$4.00 ECB back (limit 1)
My CVS had the Organic Wear Mascara for only $9.99 with the Try Me Free pink peelie rebates attached. Using the $3 store coupon and the $1 SS q, it was only $5.99 and then I rc’d my $7 extra bucks reward. Sending in the rebate today for an $11 MM! These drug stores have amazing deals lately. Love couponing!
So I went to cvs on Monday and bought two pf eyeshadows for like 8.99 each to get the 7 ecb. Then I went this morning to pick something up and of course I got the $3 off coupon. Is there some way to return one eyeshadow and buy it again using the coupon? What happens to your ecbs if you return something you got them for? Should I buy an eyeshadow with the coupon and then return the other one? Arg, I’m kicking myself for not waiting on this deal!
More than likely the cashier will not return it for the coupon if it was given to you after you purchased the item, its managers discretion though.
I bought the Organic wear Jumbo lash mascara for $9.99 and it still produced the $7 ECB. There was a try me free rebate on this one up to $9.95, so I am super happy with this deal. Thanks!
I just bought some eyeliner for $10.99, used $1/1 coupon, got $7ecb back and it had a “try me free” attatched! FYI- open the try me sticker up. I opened one on a bamboo compact set that expired 12/31/10. The one I got expires this year but make sure you check it! I really wanted that bamboo set too. 🙂
Their machine only gives me two coupons at a time now and if I swipe my card a second time I get nothing. 🙁
I stumbled across a $10 off PF in my mess of a walletthat expired in January. My store takes CVS coupons and ECB’s up to 6 months passed exp. ! So I was able to buy the Organic Mascara for $10..49
-10.00 CVS coupon
—————
PAID .49
and got back $7 ECB *** PROFIT $6.51***
I love my local CVS store. I had forgotten to go to the red kisok so when i checked out. I bought my Crest mouthwash and paid. Then the coupons came rolling in…To my amazement the $3.00 off PF coupon came out…Yahoo, cuz i came into the store for the Organic Mascara$10.49, so i was able to get my $3.00 off and used the $7.00 ecb on my next order. Yippee for the CVS in Waverly, TN! The only thing better would have been a pink peelie for the Try free rebate..lol
I got a $7 off last week and used it this week on the shadow liner$10.99 and then I got the $7 ECB!! 🙂
