CVS: Smokin’ *HOT* FREE Craig 4GB MP3 Player ($79.99 Value!) + More Sweet Deals
Wowser! If you’re in the market for a new MP3 player, you better put on your shoes and run on over to your local CVS! Reader Monica emailed me to let me know that the Craig 4GB MP3 Players that are listed in the weekly ad for $49.99 (regularly $79.99!) are ringing up for ONLY $9.99!
Even sweeter, whenever you purchase one MP3 Player, you’ll get back a $10 CVS CashCard! WOW!
My Sidekick, Mary, found these MP3 players behind the CVS counter, so be sure to ask an employee if you can’t find them. Even sweeter, the limit is 2… so you can buy two for a total of $19.98 and get back a $20 CVS CashCard! What a HOT deal! 😀
Also, if you’re looking to snag inexpensive Easter basket fillers or birthday party gifts/favors, you may want to check out the selection of Zhu Zhu Pets and Accessories on sale for 75% off! Even sweeter, all of the Zhu Zhu pets and Accessories appear to be ringing up for ONLY $1, making some items discounted even more than 75% off! Keep in mind that there may not be a large selection of these items left, but it’s definitely worth checking out.
And finally, if your CVS carries the Cherry variety of Ocean Spray juice (my Sidekick Mary’s store didn’t 🙁 ), you may be able to score 2 FREE juices! Here’s how…
* Ocean Spray 64 oz juice Buy 1 Get 1 FREE
Use the Buy One Cranberry juice Get One FREE Cherry juice coupon found here
Final cost 2 for FREE!
What other bargains have you found at CVS today? Please share! Thanks! 😀
(Thanks, Tip Resource, Monica, and Jing!)
I was able to get the last two at my CVS in CT. The shelf had the $49.99 tag, but it rung up for $9.99. You can check the price at the coupon machine scanner. My ECBs printed out for both. I was going to save them for Easter presents, but I guess I’ll be trying them out first to make sure they work.
.I bought 2 of them yesterday, only 1 worked so, I went back today exchanged it for ANOTHER one that doesn’t work either. URGGGGHHH wasted time and gas!!!:(
scored two mp3 players but there weren’t any zhu zhu pet items. The clerk was even telling me how to get them for free. Love our CVS here in Maryland. Hey don’t forget to use your $5 bucks of a $15 purchase. So it was a $5 buck money maker for me!
whoo hoo
=)
Wait what? What $5 bucks of a $15 purchase?? :O
Ok
got mine today.. Woo Hoo 2 free! lol!
I got 2 free today but I just clicked on the link a few minutes ago and it is no longer working.
I didn’t have any luck finding any of the MP3 players, but one store had a ton of zhu zhu pets & accessories :). Some of the accessories were regularly priced $24.99—all for $1. And the lady told me to take them ALL…she wanted them gone (no, I didn’t take them all!). She said as soon as those were gone, they have a bunch more stuff to put out, including backpacks, etc.—all will be $1!
deal deal in michigan. just tried it and didn’t ring up 9.99/
Did it ring up regular price? I am in Michigan and am stil hunting for them but will stop if the price is at $49.99.
My CVS only had one and it worked fine this AM, by lunch time I found one more at another CVS and the cashier took my $10 ECB reward from my receipt and said there was a mistake and the reward printing is an error…..that they got a notice ..something like that. So I took my $10 gift card from this morning and bought the second one for my daughter for her Easter Basket. I look at it this way I got 2 MP3 players for $10.00 and both kids will be thrilled and they will have their own.
If anyone is interested in buying these, let me know. I purchased two at CVS this morning just for the gift cards. I paid $21.24 out of pocket. Would be willing to ship these out if anyone is interested. Email me and let me know at chade211@yahoo.com. Hopefully someone would really like these minus the gift cards.
I sent you an email.
Thanks for all you do Collin! I can not believe the savings I just snagged. I went on my lunch break (2PM – Richmond, VA) hoping to find the mp3 deal, the first two stores I went to were sold out but I hit the jackpot on the third store – they had several behind the registers and were even posted as being on sale for $9.99 – I got two along with 5 Zhu Zhu pets clearance toys at $1.00 each – I used my ECBs that I earned yesterday from the Zyrtec, Reach, and Pedicare deals (total of $14.99) plus I used the $4 off $20 coupon that CVS emailed me and paid $7.04 oop for that transaction – the $20 cash card printed without a problem and without any funny looks from the manager 🙂 – I then used the $20 cash card toward the 7inch portable DVD player on sale for $19.99 and paid just $1.00 for tax (I have been in the market for a new DVD player for a while now and this alone makes up for the fact that the mp3 players may be a little crappy lol) So all in all I spent $8.04 and saved a whopping $341.53!!!! I love CVS!
I am in Richmond, which location did you find it at?
I finally found them at the CVS at 4721 Walmsley Boulevard – the ones off Robious and the one at 9201 Midlo Trnpk were all sold out
Walmsley had ten of the iPod-touch style at 12:30, and they were gone within an hour. I can’t imagine the other version lasted much past 2.
gone in il
I was pretty bummed when I missed out on the deal here in Phoenix yesterdaty but after reading all the reviews, Im so glad I didnt waste too much time or gas looking for the mp3 player. I just want to thank everyone for the good laughs from all the reviews. It made my lunch break!
Didn’t get the MP3 player..but found this item..anyone tried it yet? It’s the
Digital Prism 3 in 1 photo converter reg. $99.99 marked down to $19.99.
I tried to read some reviews in the store on my phone..but didn’t get many.. you know how Amazon is..pros and cons on everthing.. has anyone tried this item yet? I asked the manager about it..he said..”well I don’t have anything to scan like negatives or slides, but my mom would”.. haha.. OH boy.. too funny.. I am 43..probably old enough to be his mom then..I told him ..”well I have plenty of negatives and a few slides to scan. He told me if it didn’t power up or do right..take it back and let him know.. he is a very nice; young manager.
Also folks, please don’t make a spectacle of yourselves in the store with the deals.. you know who you are out there….The cashiers were talking about a lady that had been in earlier that was upset because she had already gotten 2 of the MP3 players for tax.. then when she tried to get a 3rd one.. it wouldn’t give her the $10 extrabucks printout then she was highly upset…. they were talking about that lady in great detail of how she showed herself. I was at end of counter.. opening the box for this scanner and pulling up reviews on my phone when I overheard them tell the manager about her. It embarassed me, and I was not even the customer.. I just thought to msyelf while shaking my head..”omgosh..don’t tell me it was another hipster acting out like that..”. If you got your two per customer..then go on..no biggie..no sense in being upset. The cashiers said they would remember her next time for sure. oh well..such is life..
used my cvs bucks…so only paid one dollar each. If they are not high quality it will not be an issue because they are for my kids and they go through these things like crazy!! So for a dollar I can deal with it!!
not in stock in CA, Tri-Valley
;(
YAY!!!! I am SO excited!!! I was able to score 2 of the MP3 players for a total of $.70!! They didn’t even have them out on the floor, but in the back from when they put up their Christmas stock! So those of you who aren’t finding them, ask the manager if there are any in the back!!! Thanks Collin!! Just scored my first Christmas presents for this year!!! : D
Lol, yes this lady bought 2 yesterday and then she bought 2 more and she got mad over not gettying the cash cards. He manager sweet told her limit 2 cash cards and he voided the transsacion. And allowed her to redo it in a different cvs card when she left and forgot the mp3 players he the manager grab the bag and run after her! But, we do get a lot from cvs so, I’m thankful for everything the bucks they only get reimbursed for manucf cupons! And thanks to them managers and cashiers. Mine are so nice, in return I bought them lunch!
went to two cvs told me can’t use a buy one get one on the juice when its already buy one get one. Can someone help is it in their coupon policy???

Thank you… printed it and called them. They said I could come back in. THANK YOU – Jennifer!!!!
Got one in NC. Can’t wait to see if it works!
woo.hoo ..got mine at 2 oclock this afternoon. decided to try calling another (out of the way store) and they had two and even set them back for me. rolled the gift cards so only paid $10 oop for them both and also snagged some great deals on the pediasure and used an old raincheck to get free contact solution! Thanks Hip2 Save for the deals..love it!! Keep em coming!! 🙂 I found them at Burnam, Pa. not sure if any are left or not.
My husband got 2 today in Ohio. It rang up for $9.99 each and printed EB’s for 2 $10 gift cards! What a steal. Thanks Collin!!!!!!!!
Everyone in Ohio able to get it for $9.99, I guess I’m the only one wasn’t able to get it
🙁 cvs in gahanna is $29.99. And the other one (also in gahanna) refused to give me a rain check for the soft soap it was on sale last week 🙁 she told me because their store are not carry those so she won’t give me a rain check for it. I wonder if anyone having a same problem as I’m. Make me so sad 🙁
Just wanted to tell you that in my store, there were actually 2 different Craig MP3s. One was in a white box and rang up at $9.99. The other was in clear plastic bubble looking container and rang up for much more. Someone in front of me asked the clerk for the Craig MP3 and that is the one he gave them, so they thought there was no great deal in our stores. The player in the bubble box was next to wireless phones and more expensive items. The one in the white box was not even close to the other one, it was far away down the shelf next to cheaper items.
Tammy I got one last night in gahanna for 9.99 (Morse & cherrybottom)
they should give you a raincheck if the item is on the ad.
i asked they wudnt cuz it was xmas rollout
I scored 3 in Richmond CA this morning & was so excited to get the deal. I went to the CVS close to home last night & they said they didn’t get any in, but I could get a raincheck. I decided to check one other store this morning, but called before heading over. When she said they had 10 & they were on sale for $9.99, I jumped in my car & ran over there. I thought I would save them for Christmas gifts, but my husband really wanted one for himself. I was happy to get these as free xmas gifts, but it made me even happier that I made my hubby happy 🙂 Thanks so much for all the deals you bring us!!!!!
Has anyone had any luck in Houston
Norma, iam in houston, last night there plenty! And this morning telephone rd they had plenty of the games! I called cvs they put on hold the last wireless note book I’m giving it to my niece! My youngest are not interested! But, most of th my friends got if not the mp3 other good deals,
i would like to thank the person who has cleaned out the boston area stores. a cashier told me that a lady came in and bought the four they had, and then asked to check if another cvs had them in stock.
Only 2 per card. I worked at cvs and I often tell people someone cleared us out even tho really it was many people. Many times at our store our employees would grab the deals also and say it was someone else. Just to say… you never really know. Every place was cleared by noon at most locations. I ended up calling 1 stores 6 had them at 9 am none had them at 11 am. Most said they were cleared on Sunday. I am amazed it lasted till Monday.
just wondering since you work on cvs is it true that you guys receive a email saying to adjust the price to 49.99 even tho they were scaning at 9.99 thats what two of my cvs stores told me ….i contact corporate by email already so just waiting to hear from them anyone else having the same problem i live in southern california
Does somebody have a MAC and got them to work????? I don’t have Windows.
worked with my mac. it just mounted like a thumb drive. It’s really picky about the file formats it accepts. jpegs work fine and .txt files, some mp3s work others don’t and movie files are really tough. haven’t figured out what it will play yet, but says it accepts .avi, mp4, flv, and wmv. some i tried had no audio.
got some movie (mp4) files to work, but audio was badly out of sync. i’m gonna keep trying.
I finally got one! I was about to give up
Wow! Check out all the Craig MP3 players on eBay! 🙂
I just wanted to report back that my mp3 players are working just fine, battery charged just fine, I didn’t even fool with the driver disc after reading some of yalls comments and just decided to “drag and drop” the music I wanted in it’s folder – easy as pie – I’m listening to it right now 🙂 It definitely is not the same quality as an ipod but it does it job just fine (Sidenote: I have Windows 7)
Don’t forget to use all the cheap and free downloads that are on amazon. I tell ya, the the stars align themselves when it comes to coupons!
Great idea! I so love the way you put that 🙂
I went to Amazon and didn’t see any free games or apps. What did you get?
I asked my cashier to ring them up and she would not! She said that they are 19.99..I said no not those (whatever it is that is listed as sale for $19.99 another electronic item)….she said they are $19.99 and rang my stuff up and just stared at me. I wanted to be more demanding but I was in a hurry. I will just go back tomorrow when she is not there! 🙂
The only ones I could find were not touch screen, they rang up $9.99 but no extra care bucks for me 🙁 If you saw the robe deal ($2.99 and then get $2 extra care bucks) that didnt work for me either. I got them for $2.99 but no extra care bucks. I must be lousy at this or something I never really find the the deals. 🙁
can someone tell me how to download music to my new craig mp3? i got music downloaded to amazon cloud that Collin mentioned GNR–TIA
Renee,
From reading other comments, it looks like you just need to click and drag the songs into the mp3, however that works…not for sure.
I used Windows Media Player. On the right side of the screen I selected “Sync”, added music to the sync list from my media library on the left, then selected “Start Sync”.
Renee ~ My husband played with it last night and did something similar to what Melissa mentions. He was mostly getting stuff off of CDs though…..He used the Windows Media Player, added songs to the computer’s library through that and then “sync’d” as Melissa mentions and dragged and dropped. Play with it a bit and this should make sense….could luck!
I finally got two,!!, yeah !!! Austin tx. Y
Thank u guys
Houston-Went today to CVS the store manager had em in the back..! was able to get 2.. I was happy, and my mother was with me so she got 2 also.. So happy untill we came home 🙁 one had broken screen the other 2 had a blinking screen, the last one was also bad(and screen scratched, maybe was used..) :(( noouuu!!! Very disappointing, does anyone know what they do with the $10 card when you return?
In our store here in South GA all were gone Sunday and the manager told me I couldn’t even get a raincheck, because it wasn’t a sale item, but a clearance. Too bad, my son’s birthday is coming up and he would’ve loved to have one… maybe next time I’ll be luckier.
But about your question: as far as I know, they do not accept returns for clearance items at all! (but good luck trying).
Susie thnx.. The manager exchanged them for me.. My post is in the end. Hope they work!
Clearance is nonreturnable, but the good thing is that you probably paid only tax on these. Check inside the box for manufacturer contact information. They should replace them for you. Good luck!
Just wanted you to know I returned my non working without any problems.
I got 2 craig music and movie player with touchscreen yesterday night and it was near the checkout lane with a sign saying ‘ask me how you can get this free’. I went to the store seeing the hip2save email and was so surprised it was even there. there was one when i left the store grinning ear to ear with my cvs cash cards! we tried loading songs videos etc in both of them but only one i could load songs but not videos. other one couldnt load anything. so today i was hoping i could exchange or return it, I went to my cvs with my cash card receipt and the non working player, and returned it with no problem got my money back, and when i asked whether i should give my cash card back and i even showed it to her explaining that i got it with the player she laughed and said i dont have to. i felt like i won a lottery…. : ) she marked the box so that nobody else will buy the defective product. so i went in to try to find zhuzhu pets if any were left……….. and there were tons of them. i got a hamster fun house and also 3 addon rooms(each room on a seperate box) for 4.25$ a whole set, my girls are gonna be soooooo happy. also there were lotta zhuzhu ninja kungfu stuff for boys everything a dollar………. this is in willoughby ohio.
My 2 MP3 the ones in the white box were not working..one had a cracked screen, So went to another CVS, to return them, and the manager said they didnt have anymore of the same kind, wanted the reward cards and then she said hold on..and she went inside and came back with 2 new ones, so apparently not all managers take em out in the floor for sale and lie.. Wonder why?
Well either way I’ll be making sure these work!
They didn’t have the MP3 players at my CVS but they had a ton of Zhu Zhu pet items for $1 and I bought 4. Also make sure you check the clearance items. I purchased two Nivea Body washes for $1.74 each and I happened to have a $2 and a $1 coupon. I also bought 2 Garnier Fructis shampoos for $1.37 and used 2 $1 coupons. Total for all 8 items: $6.04. Thanks Collin!
Deal is DONE!!!! Just came back from a 24 hour CVS and they had two of the MP3 players in the bubble box and the cashier searched and found the last one of the MP3 player in the white box. I brought one of each and the Cash card is no longer printing when you purchase these. I used a new CVS card and no Cash Card is printing now. Welp, it was good while it lasted!!! CVS has some excellent deals on the clearance items. I lucked up and found a Zone 3D console ($4.99) and a yoga interactive mat ($9.99).
yes I bought 2 this morning at my CVS in Decatur Indiana and yes Cash Cards are no longer printing. Looking at the ad though you have to shave $30 in qualifing purchases to get the card.
I’m shocked that there were any left today.
Does anyone know about this $5 bucks of a $15 purchase??
These come via email or print at the red coupon machine when you scan your card. They are tied to that card (and thus can’t be traded or sold).
Also, if you didn’t redeem your coupon for the $10 cash card prior to today – it will no longer scan at the register, so not cash card.
Wow! I’m so glad the cashiers redeemed mine for me immediately! Initially, I hoped they wouldn’t notice the cash card coupon because I really didn’t want to call attention to the deal. I didn’t know that the cash card coupons could expire!
Las Vegas CVS stores are ringing up as $39.99. When I asked about why it was not ringing up as $9.99, I was told by two stores that this was a glitch that was corrected in their system. People were returning the mp3 players and trying to get $49.99 when they paid less.
Nice.
And to clarify, I mean NOT nice. That is stealing. Good grief! Isn’t it enough that they were FREE? Why try to rip off a store?
Because some people are truly greedy and lowlife like. They lurk on sites like this and then attempt to commit fraud. This explains why stores have to keep changing their return and coupon policies.
Wow, the nerve of some people. No wonder when I asked last night at my CVS the young male cashier said we’re sold out but the look on his face said he was lying. I only wanted 2 for my preteen DD and teenage son. So they could be like their older siblings who have ipods.
That is a shame if people are doing that. I returned my mine only because it didnt work…..I had my receipt and was given the 9.99 I paid for it back. They shouldnt take any of them back without a receipt!!
Wow. The nerve of some folks! I can’t believe folks would try to do that. I’ve also heard of people buying as many as 10 and then selling them on ebay too. Honestly, I only wanted 2 but wasn’t even able to get any!!
That is so ridiculous. It’s not enough to get it free?
Here in houston, tx broadway @ bellfort they have a lot of wireless readers left, a lot of games 4.99/ tote bags 4.99/ robes/ and they got a truck NO MP3players! And telephone rd they have some itens still left a scanner that scans pictures from negatives, gps, and I got a foot massager for 4.99. / the truck just came in about a hour ago! It may have other thing! But broadway @ bellfort has a lot of games!!!! Now/ zhus, bags/ robes/ so there is some things left!!
how much are the wireless readers and are they like Nook or Kindle?
Samn, the its called shift LOOKBOOK wireless reader WI FI on the box it says a $750 value 150 free books also it says full color. Screen 7″ color display uop to 8/GB with bonus case! 19.99 reg 149.99
Thanks for the info edy, is the lookbook worth the try?
Louisville, KY-My husband is so funny, I forgot to update him that there’s no more gift card spitting out for one, on his breaktime today he called me and was sooo excited to tell me that there’s a lot of stock of mp3’s and movie players on one cvs 15 mins away his work. I was laughing and told him there’s no more gift card, he still bought 1 anyway because they are still on clearance for $9.99 to give to our 2 yrs old daughter who loves to watch cartoons. Then I thought of the advertised deal that if you spend $30 of those you get $10 gift card so told him to buy 2 more on the same card and it did spit a $10 gift card. $20 for three of them or $6.67 each is not bad deal after all. I can always return if it’s bad.
Well, I went today to get the MP3 and they did have them for $9.99 but no bucks or gift cards printed for me 🙁 Still $9.99 wasn’t a bad price! I’m in GA, anyone else have this happen?
Yep–in Cumming, GA, same results. However, my store manually printed a $10 extra buck for me since it was in the ad to receive a cash card. ???
For those who did not get to take advantage of the MP offer, you did not miss out on much! I got one and boy oh boy sometimes you get what you pay for. This thing is low quality. I do not believe it actually sold for more the $10. It does not play back video with sound. I could not get mine to even work with the USB cord it came with.
Here in houston there are some cvs still have some mp3players @ cvs lawndale no cash card! My friend got one and thanks for th posting. I dont know sam, if its worthed I bought it for my niece! But, youngest 20 not into that reader like she is!
Does anyone know how to download ebooks to this device?
I am sure someone has posted this…..but just in case not…..
RE Craig 4g MP3 players ~ These are clearance items. Once they are gone they are gone. I don’t know if they are returnable or not…..it would seem not right if they weren’t as it wasn’t posted nor did they say anything when I got them…..but it might be store policy?
I have one that doesn’t work, but I am only out 64 cents. For $1.28, I got 2 that do work….although now my kids and hubbie have to share 2, lol.
I am not going to try to bother to return the non-working one…..It is worth 64 cents to save myself the effort.
Yes, at my store they had a big sing final clearance no returns! I got 2 also, I got them with bucks and 2 free gift cards! If they work fine if they don’t that’s okay I’m giving those to my brothers kids! Won’t find out until they get them! Hopefully they work
all our zhu zhu is ringing up 1.00 each item great for toys for tots at christmas , or anything 🙂
same her in Central MA.. $1.00 for all zhu zhu.
I found no Mp3 players in Austin at the Parmer or north lamar locations. 🙁 I’m sad I really wanted one and for 10 bucks awesome! dont even care about it being free, I just needed a new one for my workouts….crapola.
Not finding any in South Austin either 🙁 I was hoping to get one to keep in my car.
NO cherry flavor ocean spray… 🙁
The video camcorders @cvs were @ cvs sunday .19.99 don’t know the reg price now on sale $9.99 they just got more! My cousin in dallas said those were ringing up @ $19.99 on sunday and monday. She is going to look for them now! Her mp3players are working great!
I got my 2 MP3 players today but no cash cards? I’m in New Orleans.
