(Thanks, Coupon Pro, The Shopper’s Apprentice, Karen, and all you readers who emailed!)
omg I was at CVS just now all well I’ll check on the sticks tomorrow
for the spend $12 get $6 does it have to be in one transaction. For instance, I bought 4 lady speed deodorants, if I go back and buy 4 more will I get the 6ecb?
yes it keeps track at the bottom of your receipt but you should only have to buy 6 total
thanks tara!
CVS tracks your totals, but for the mail in rebate, all purchases must be on one receipt (as per the rebate form).
I bought 6 of the lady speed stick deodrant for $1.99 and used 3 of the b1g1 coupons and they automatically took off $3.99 which made my transaction free except for tax and then I got the $6 ECB. I even pointed it out to the cashier and she said she wasn’t going to argue with the register
I did the same transaction & got the same deal so this was a moneymaker for me. Fantastic deal.
Same thing happened to me. Crazy huh? lol. I also did the Tom’s of Maine deal, so proud of myself for finding it before Collin posted it, lol 🙂
I checked the price of the Tom’s of Maine at my CVS and it scans at $3.99 not $2.89.
Not for me, the cashier was so rude she wont even scan the coupon, she manually put 1.99. i guess she new about it. but why would she care, if the register takes it with no problem. real coupon police….
Because the store will only get 1.99 back from the manufacturer – their store logs have to match their coupons on what they get reimbursed.
No the store will get reimbursed for $3.99. The coupons are sent to a clearinghouse and they are sent a check based on the amount scanned. Unless the cashier wrote the amount in the space provided (and even then I doubt that the automatic scanners catch this), they will get the maximum amount. They don’t send store logs, they send the coupons which a clearinghouse scans.
it wasn’t rude, it was policy.
That was a BUY 1 GET 1 FREE coupon, you paid $1.99 for each, so you get $1.99 off. Any customer that got the full $3.99 off, good for them, but your cashier that you’re calling the coupon police and rude was following the rules of the coupon. What CVS gets reimbursed back doesn’t matter, she was following what the coupon said.
Same here! I couldn’t believe it!
Thanks so very much Collin for the heads up on all these deals. It has saved me so much money!
Hey I went today and got in on the deal for the Physician’s Formula. When you spend 10.00 you get a 7.00 ECB. Well they have a new item and it has a peelie on it for a full refund as well. I did not find mine on the wall it was on a display/wooden shelfing unit beside the wall of makeup. Good luck I mad 7.00 on it after my rebate and ECB.
I saw some of those too but then I looked at the expiration date and it said 12/31/11 so I returned it
The one I got is for a new product called youthful wear. The dates are for 1/1/12 thru 12/31/12.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to check that out.
Dang! Of course my little town doesn’t have a CVS…………..
Don’t count on the Tom’s of Maine being on clearance; my stores rang them up at $3.99 apiece. Just a heads-up!
Same here in Atlanta. Still a good deal, though.
Same here in east TN. Ninety-nine cent mouthwash is still not bad, though. Especially for Toms.
mine was in greensboro NC
i got the fekkai glossing serum for 8.99 and got the 5.oo ecb great deal for this item. pantene is also on sale 2/6.97 combine with the 3.oo cpn from the 1/1 pg insert and pay 3.97 and they give you 1.00 ecb.
my store did not carry the tom’s mouthwash but they do carry the toothpaste which i got.
The store manager at my CVS had the Tom’s mouthwash on clearance ($4.11) and wouldn’t acknowledge the extra care bucks. Did anyone else experience this?
He can’t stop the ECB from printing up if it qualifies..
If you email corporate through the cvs website and let them know, they will make sure you get the ecb. I have had to do this before
if anyone likes the clean and clear it is on sale buy 1 get 2nd 50% off. ex. original price 5.49 combine with 2 2.00 off 1 coupon from smartsource and you are paying 4.24 instead of 11.00
Don’t foget about the rebate found in the SS today (Maybe regional) for $5 back on a $10 purchase of a certain company- forgot the name, but includes softsoap, colgate, irish spring, speedstick, etc.
The $10 has to be in one transaction though. And I’m not sure how it will work out with coupons taking the total to lower than $10
That sounds like palmolive brand. Must be regional.if anyone finds the form online please post link. Thanks. Lovin the rebates popping up.upward
The Colgate posted above (Colgate Total Advanced Gum Defense on clearance 4 oz) didn’t count toward the $6 ECB for me – probably because it’s on clearance. To trigger the $6 ECB, you may want to pick up the larger size for $2.74 (plus coupon) which is on sale, but not clearance. Stinks, I have to go back and get something else to trigger the $6 ECB, plus now I can’t submit for the $5 rebate since they will not all be on one receipt. 🙁
My region got a buy $10 get $5 Colgate palmolive rebate in my paper this week( Detroit area) making this an even sweeter deal.
thanks for this post monika! i am out of town and was wondering if the detroit are got it! where r u ? im in mount clemens
A few weeks ago I stocked up on the clearance hairdyes and today when I scanned my card at the magic coupon machine I got 2 coupons for save $2 on any root touch up product any brand!!! Those were still there on clearance for $1.94!!! So I scored 2 for free!! Try it out if you recently got the hairdyes!!
both my cvs’ have a stack of $2.00 off root rescue coupons hanging right next to the root rescues, my cvs’ have been out for about a week now im waiting to see if more go on clearance again in the future. i pulled a few off and stuck them in with my coupons hoping more will go down, lol
Thanks for reminding me! I got 2 of these at the coupon machine today too & I have the hangtags too! Moneymaker for me. Woohoo!
I saw those in my CVS too, they are manufacturer’s coups, so even if root rescue isn’t on clearance, you should be able to combine those with the magic coups for $4 off the root rescue!
Could you post what colors are on clearance? My store is so bad nothing there has clearance tags althought I know some items are on clearance from reading this blog. Thank you so much!
heading over right now, i’ll let you know i turns out :3
So frustrated.cannot find any of the new physicians formula makeup at all @ my cvs. The ad even shows the products. Did get some advil and thermacare and got a $10 rebate. Form was in red plum today. Money maker too. Going to use $4 eb from the deal toward the pf makeup rebate, If I can ever find it. This will make a mm for that too
I did the lady speed sticks stainguard last night used the bogo cpns tooked $3.99 money maker. Also the olay 4pck bar soap whismy lucios clearance scan it first, $3.74 gave 2 bucks back! Also,physicians new purple product has try me free rebate and 3dlr cpns. Peelies cpons! pay after that cpn 7dlrs and get 7 bucks free! When my speed sticks cpns tooked 3.98 I did tell my cashier she said I can’t undo it! And the manager said, she didn’t care how many times we come in the more she sells the bigger her bonus! Which, I do one transaccion and get all my things! But, others do 6 or 7 transsaccions which, that’s great! Its all about saving!!
Crystal Light is also on clearance at target. I found 4 varieities on clearance for $1.04 and used the $1/2 coupon to get them for .54 cents!
thanks for the tip! Love Crystal Light!
There was also a crystal light cvs coupon in the winter cvs reinventing beauty magazine.
I got some cvs brand stuff on clearance but none of the stuff you listed. Got my Toms’s toothpaste for 3.99. 🙁 Oo well…I did enjoy the bottle water deal!
Also found John Frieda Root Awekening Shampoo/Conditioners on Clearance for $3.49 and the $5 ECB worked! If you have requested samples in the past (like I have) you might have $2/1 and $1/1 coupons.
By chance does anyone have an extra rebate for the lady speedstick deal from todays inserts they are willing to part with? I got the deodrant but my area did not get the form. My email is tlcarter6@juno.com
Just emailed you! 🙂
My local CVS has a bunch of their brand facial products on clearance for 90% off. Also some Herbal Essence products for $0.59. I used some coupons that were going to expire in a couple days making them free!
The SS i received today doesn’t have the BOGO coupon for speed stick, do you what zip code i can enter to print it online?
There’s no printable coupon.
Depending on how much Schick brand Skintimates shaving creme costs, it might be free or a small mm at CVS. It’s $3.89 in Lancaster PA. Use $1.00 coupon and get $4 Eb. I was able to do this with2 different kinds (blue & green). Not sure what the limit is – not advertised on shelf.
My CVS sign said 100 per household. I asked the cashier about it and she said that was correct. A lady before me bought 15 of them!!!
All in one order? Or did she do separate and keep rolling the ECBS?
whattttt 100 per household? that is kind of absurd. but im definitely going to try a few tomorrow! thanks
where did you find the 1.00 off coupon? THANKS!
Grab this deal while you can, I think this probably a glitch of some sort and it may be changed at some point. Some stores may even have $2 off peelies on some of the skintimates.
My store had Dove deodorant on sale which I paired with the coupons from today RP. Great deal!!
I bought of bunch of body wash today. There was one deal that was not posted. There was nivea body wash on clearance for 2.99 and there was a $2.00 coupon that I had as well. Also the large mouthwash for ProCrest was $3.97 and 1cpn making it $2.97 was almost as good deal as the ECB.
I did 51 skintimate today. I saw the tags and it said buy selected schick and get back a $4 ecb. The tag said it was good until 2/25 and that the limit was 100. There are $2 peelies on some of the cans. The tubes don’t work and the mens hydro sensitive works and has peelies on a display advertising the deal.
The skintimate were about 3.89 to 3.99
51?! Is that a typo? I felt bad buying 4 and leaving only one! Hope you use them all…
Mary, I hope you don’t live in my town. Each display couldn’t have had more than 20 bottles. You must have wiped out all the stores and left none for others?
I’m with Irene. 51? Seriously?
I was just thinking the same thing Irene. 51 is a bit excessive. Hopefully she will be dobating them to a needy charity 🙂
Wow. Why do you have to buy so much? I wish people would buy enough to get you to the next deal not a 3+ year supply. This is why couponers get a bad wrap.
If I had 50 coupons, I would have purchased 50 also. So good for you, now I will look for some too!
I agree with everyone above me, this is why couponers get treated the way we do. This is why cashiers get yelled at for being out of stock. Your cashiers were stupid not to enforce a limit.
Well when you do please don’t come on here to brag about your greediness. Of course I mostly think the stores truly should put limits on items that are more realistic given the stock at their store.
51 cans? Really? How long is the hair on your legs? A lawn mower might be more effective than 51 cans of skintimate.
I agree 51 is flippin ridiculous. I couldn’t even get 1 can at my cvs store. Which really stinks because the shick hydro sensitive is about the only kind my husband can use because of allergies and sensitive skin. Actually everything at my cvs is always cleaned out. 🙁
My friend its at cvs and I told her about ur postying schick skintimate and hrydro shave gel and she bought only 1 and it worked she got 4 bcks! Thanks ladys we live in houston,tx
hey I just got back from cvs in Lake Jackson, TX I bought 1 Schick shaving cream and didn’t get any EB’s so I don’t know if it’s regional or not
it will only work on the schick hydro sensitive and any skintimate shave gel. HTH!
thanks I got the mousturizing one that’s why bummer I’ll go back tomorrow and buy the right one thanks sooooo much
I was super excited about the cvs deals today! I went before this post and was amazed that I found the Gold Bond Body wash for 1.64! Plus, they have a monthly Pantene buy $15 get 5ECBs so I had the 3.00/2 that expire 1/31 and got 5 items for just over $6!
These count towards the Beauty Club program too, right?
Yeah, I don’t want to leak out CVS’s big secret. But if you use a BOGO coupon it gives you the max value on the coupon. For example I got 6 Men’s speed stick deodorants and it gave me $3.99 for each of the 2 on sale for $1.99. Totally free except tax and it printed the $6 rebate. Do this 2x and you got yourself $12 in EBC’s and 12 sticks of Lady’s or men’s speed stick:) The big question.. Do I dare mail in the rebate form for the $5 off, I guess they won’t honor it since I paid nothing after coupons??
My receipt is the same as yours. But the rebate goes according to purchase price (1.99), which we are to circle. It shouldn’t be a problem. Sometimes rebate forms will mention a rebate amount minus coupons, but this one does not.
Lady Speedstick on clearance at my CVS (not marked). I bought 4 and the cashier handed me back one of my BOGO coupons because he said that the other one had made all four deos free. So I bought another four and two Colgate toothpaste (using $3.50 in cvs and mfr coupons) so I ended up paying 99 cents each for the two toothpastes and got the deos for free and I still got $6EBs. CVS rocks.
Where can you find CVS store coupon? I haven’t been able to find one in our local store.
CVS store coupons were in the Reinventing Beauty Mag. Don’t know if they are still available.
cleaned out~!!
the only thing I found were the Irish Springs and the Speed Sticks, I got the $12 deal as well since it was a good deal, and some toothpaste (but it was 3.99) I used $1.00 coupons I had from SS in Spanish so i wasn’t that bad. Also the Old Spice Deodorants Mammoth and some other ones were on sale for 1.99 it’s not bad if you use a $1.00 off two products from P&G but there was only one in the store so I didn’t get any. Also look for Burt’s Bee Shampoo’s they are on sale for 3.99 (7.99 OP)
The shaving creams are the blue ones and green ones mans. Hydro schick! $3.89 to $3.99/ yes some ladys speed stciks are clearance .99 counts towards $6 bucks!
I went to cvs today and bought 2 lipton side dishes, 3 ragu and 1 lipton tea bags used (5) .50 cent coupons paid $7.00 got my $3.00 EB when U buy $10.00 but I also got a $4.00 EB that I didn’t expect It said for purchasing some food items. So it was all free food yay!!!! I also got the Pronutrients $9.99 with my raincheck because they took my $7.00 expired coupons and $5.00 cvs coupons and paid me my $10.00 EB when U buy $30.00 worth of pronutriens 🙂 So paid $3.00 plus tax for 6 pronutrients, made $20.00 EB and gonna send for the $10.00 rebate 🙂
will all Cvs take expired coupons if you have a rain check?!?!
depends on your store
A lot of MilanI makeup is not advertised as clearance but is ringing up as 70% off. I got a ton of liners and glosses and everything 🙂 enjoy!
Coupon machine printed a 1.00 off Maxwell House International Delights and they’re on sale for 1.99, it’s my favorite. I was so excited!
By any chance, does anyone have an extra Thermal-Care rebate & Lady Speedstick that they’d be willing to part with? My papers didn’t come with them =( I’d be happy to swap coupons for them! Please email me rhoadesville4@yahoo.com Thanks!
Wish me luck! First time stepping foot into a CVS today. Hoping I can find some of these items for donation to our local shelter. I don’t need any myself, but there is a lot of less fortunate who do. I have been there believe me! Don’t worry…not a shelf clearer anywhere. My rule is 20% or less than what is on the shelf, unless it is an absolute necessity. Hopefully I will learn how to get great deals at CVS for the future and be able to help the shelter.:)
Good luck, Rose! CVS is a great place for great deals. Don’t forget to apply for your extracare card! I love shopping to donate!
I found the Gold Bond Body wash on clearance, it wasn’t marked, but I scanned and sure enough it was $3.64. However, the peelies on the bottles, were Manufac. coupons, NOT cvs store coupons, so no stacking with the $2 insert coupon.
I stopped at CVS this morning and tried to get the speedstick, but the cashier didnt even try to scan the BOGO coupon, she just manually typed it in 🙁 On a good note I did get 12 of the Skintimate!!
My CVS only gives what you paid on the BOGO coupons…1.99.
A CVS in Kissimmee, FL had a whole rack full of items for 90% off! Maybe they’re getting rid of extra inventory. I bought nail clippers, permanent markers, trial size body wash & shampoo, balls, cotton face rounds, lots of things all for 90% off!
The speed stick coupons automatically deducted 3.99 (max value price) for me without prompting the cashier to enter a price. This is probably a ymmv but you could get a great deal on deodorant if it does the same for you!
The shaving cream the skintimate the ladys pink, light green, light blue cans! Are the ones that are $3.89 giving the $4 bucks back! And yes, limit 100 per houselhold. Got 3 cans they don’t have no more! (Houston,TX) in case someone wants to know if it works!! Also, cvs cupon machine giving cpns for suave shampoo! Next weeks, deals!

Quick question. Can you use the $4 bucks you received for one shave gel to purchase the next one and keep rolling them? I’m new to this. Thanks!
yes, but dont be rude and do 20 transactions and hold up other people.
Good idea! There are some serious genuises on this blog. Krystal you are #1!
I was also wondering the same thing. Can you roll an ecb on the same product? Please help us newbies 🙂
They do roll. However, it is often best at CVS to do multiple transactions on ECB deals, otherwise you get one whopping amount that may be hard to use. For example, if you buy 6 of the Skintimate gels, you will get back a $24 EB. Not to mention, you will have to lay out a lot of money for the original purchase! HTH.
That is good to know, but I decided to pass on the skintimate. I wondered this because I know for a fact that at walgreens you can’t use the same one to buy the same product because it will not print.
Elizabeth, yes u can used the 4 bucks to get the next one!! Roll the bucks! I have 56 bucks on my cvs card. I did all the deals this week! Except the gift cards and the nivea! Physicians deal and pepsi 3/12 packs for 10 got 4 bucks did the physicians mascara! Had 3dlrs cpn peelie got 7 bucks! Rotate bucks did 4 bags doritos had 1dlr cpns of 2 bags used 2 cpns and 1 pack aquafina! Got 5 bucks doritos and water! And did the 4 pcks always infinity had 4 cpns 2dlrs off each and 1 pampers wipe used .50 cents cpn got 10 bucks!! I Rotate bucks, also did the speeds sticks deodorant 2 and 3 body washes and 4 irish spring soaps! Got 12 bucks and so, I did 3 shaving creams they had only 3! So, I used 50 in gift cards and cpns and some cash! Have 56 bucks for next weeks deals!! Look for physicians mascara have 2dlrs cpns peelies and youthful wear purple product have 3dlr peelies!!
