Calling all you CVS shoppers! I’ve received quite a few emails lately regarding personal care items on Clearance up to 75% off at CVS. My sidekick Mary went over to her local CVS in Austin, TX today and also found quite a few items marked down that make for great deals.

Plus, there was a table at the front of her store with Holiday items marked way down, including candy, Hallmark cards, and lots more! Note that Clearance prices and items may vary by region and store. However, if Christmas or Clearance items are not marked on sale at your store, be sure to price check them just to be sure!

Here are a few deals you may be able to score…

Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolate bags on clearance $0.99
Use the $1.10/2 Hershey’s Kisses or Hershey’s Nuggets coupon found here
Plus, use the $1/2 Hershey’s Kisses chocolates and Reese’s peanut butter cups 8 oz or larger CVS store coupon found here (watch video)
Final cost as low as 2 bags for FREE! 😀

Be sure to look for a tearpad coupon by the vitamins valid for $4/2 ANY Alka-Seltzer Plus, Bayer Aspirin, Aleve, One-A-Day, Citracal, Flinstones Multivitamins, Phillips or TruBiotics products (no size restrictions!). If you also find this high value tearpad coupon (expires 12/31/13!), you can snag FREE travel size Aleve.

Also, check out what reader Trena & Ayisha emailed…

I went to CVS today and the Magic Coupon Machine printed off $4/1 clear men’s shampoo. Pair this with the fact that they are $4.99 right now + when you buy the shampoo, you get the conditioner for free, that’s a pretty HOT deal. Both products for $0.99:) Also, look for the 25% bonus size bottles!

(Thanks, Trena, WNY Deals and To-Do’s, Eunice, Ayisha, and all you readers who emailed!)

  3. Lory

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Thanks for the update!

      • Ashley

        hey collin or anyone just wondering if the spend $50 beauty club $5 reward is for any purchase or does it have to be used on more beauty items?

  4. roxy

    I don’t know what’s up with CVS stores in my area. They are still at 25% off, they don’t even have Simple on clearance and Christmas stuff is still 50% off even though they have tons of stuff left.

  5. Darcy

    Darn! Just went to cvs here in Chicago. Saw Christmas stuff for 50% off, but I didn’t look for anything else.

  6. audrea

    got 24 cent donditioner (v05) at my cvs! 🙂

  7. Lindsay

    Don’t forget your your Quarterly extra bucks! Just got mine, a whole $2 i’m grateful for 🙂

    • Amanda M

      I got mine! $10.00!! but I get ALL my diapers there ( 2 girlies a 19 mos & a 4 mos!) and I shop for my mom too! So it was a well earned bonus 🙂

      • Craig

        I got mine too! .50c! .50c, I’ll take it.

      • Robin

        amanda, if you need diaper coupons….just ask

  8. nickyB

    Just got back from my CVS in middle-of-nowhere Ohio and the Christmas is all still 50% off and nothing much else on clearance. On a positive note I was able to get the Treseme trial size shampoo and conditioners for free, the tums for $.68 and trial dove deodorant for $.27 plus I got the $30 P&G items, the sudden sleep, GE bulb and mars candy. OOP total was $4.79 after coupons and $25 ECB. I got back $16.62 in ECB. And the Duracell batteries have P&G coupons in them.

    • Selina

      Just got my coupons from the duracell package…thanks for the info:)

  9. Tracy

    I wasn’t able to use the cvs $2.50 and the $1.10 manf cause they said I needed to but 4 not just 2? Is this right? How did Nikki make that much ? Plz explain

    • mel

      you are allowed 1 CVS Store coupon and 1 Manuf coupon per item. Print the coupon policy and educate them.

      • Priscilla

        I had the same type of thing happen on the Kisses before Christmas. I had 2 of each of the coupons ($2.50/2 and $1.10/2) and was buying 4 bags. The cashier scanned 3 of the coupons and the 4th one beeped (one of the $2.50/2 coupons). She said I couldn’t use that because I didn’t have enough items. So should she have scanned the 2 CVS coupons first? I was just looking in the store policy and it says to “put your coupons in this order: $4 off $20 store coupon (or any other money-off store coupon), CVS store product coupons, manufacturer coupons and finally Extra Care Bucks. ”
        Is that why it didn’t work for me? I asked her if I needed to do separate transactions and she said she didn’t do it that way but just gives the extra coupon back to the customer.

        • mel

          CVS Store coupons are Limit 1 Per Customer (not the ones that print from the red box, but coupons from cvs.com or the reinventing beauty magazine) so that’s why
          the 2nd $2.50/2 beeped.

          • Priscilla

            That’s what I wondered, but I didn’t notice that. Thanks!

    • nickyB

      I had 3 $2.00 Duracell coupons, 2 $.50 off 1 box off puffs, 1 $1.00 off 2 boxes of puffs, and 3 $1.00 febreeze candle. The puffs coupons were from Duracell packages purchased earlier in year. I had $15.00 of pharmacy rewards (we were sick a lot in November & December) $6.00 quarterly ECB and a $4.00 ECB. All of the trial size stuff (tums, 4 dove deodorant, & tresseme) I used coupons from the magic coupon machine. I got the $16.62 in ECB from purchasing the P&G, GE lightbulb, sudden sleep and a twice bar. HTH

      • nickyB

        Lol twix bar

        • Ginny L

          CVS on Long Island would not let me combine manufacture coupon of $1.10/2 coupon and CVS coupon of $1.00/2 together. I was trying to get the Hershey’s miniature for free. But it didn’t work. I had to buy 4 bags at 99 cents each and then she let me use both coupons. Still a good deal. Ended up being 55 cents per bag. I guess each CVS has different coupon policy. Thank you Collin and rest of the people who contribute.

  10. Jessika <3

    I’m so jealous of Mary & her deals (that fabulous target too) =( lol

  11. Bridget

    Check your emails, I got my extra care rewards today, and there was also a 1.00 off 2 shampoo, conditioner or styling product coupon to print. My rewards was only 2.50, but oh well, its something.

    • Tarri

      I got a 4.50 rewards and I am not even sure how.

      • sophia

        it’s your quarterly spendings rewards

  12. Kristina

    Hello All,

    I have to get over to CVS for these great deals.

    P.s. I am always looking for new deals and freebies. Check it out >> click my name please

  13. Tiffany

    I am so jealous of all of you hipsters and these great CVS deals being here in Oregon ;0) I will so be checking this store out when I travel out of state.

  14. sandyshores24

    Wish there was a CVS in my area!

  15. Erin Linthicum

    I did the Men’s Clear deal today an paired it with an Ibotta offer and made like .70 !!!

    • autumn

      I saw the mens but theres not conditioner??? How does thid deal work?

      • Kristen

        I had trouble with this too! The free conditioner is the one in the purple bottle. It wasnt with the
        Mens shampoo but on the opposite end with the womens. I think it’s for men or women, because it doesn’t say.

        • sarah

          The free conditioner deal was only advertised under the women’s Clear bottles at my store. And the men’s bottles scanned for more than 4.99, so I surmised the deal is only for women’s Clear, in which case the coupon doesn’t apply.

          • Trena

            the men’s IS included, when you use your CVS card at the register, it works, but it doesn’t scan the sale price on the q machine. I had that question today as well, but when i got to the register and used my card, all worked fine:)

        • autumn

          Im wondering if you just get 2 mens. they are 2 in 1,meaning shampoo and conditioner?? at my cvs the buy 1 get conditioner free sign was under the mens.

          • katee

            the ad states a size for the conditioner and shampoo, the men’s 2in1 didn’t fit the fugitive size restriction in the ad, but it fits the shampoo size restrictions

            • katee

              …not sure why my comment has the , word fugitive in it? sorry, I’m on my phone

            • Kristen

              I did this deal today!! I got a men’s shampoo $4.99 then I went into the women’s to find the 12.7 oz free conditioner they meant. I used a $3 peelie on the men’s as well as a $4 off cvs coupon– moneymaker!!

          • Nichole Thibodeau

            hehehe had to laugh my sister posted my same question!!! good lookin out autumn!! lol

  16. Savedbycoupons

    Yesterday I scored 2 L’Oreal hair color boxes for a grand total of $3.08! I used the 2 $3 coupons from coupons.com combined with the $2.50 reward I got. The sale is BOGO 50% off. The price per box was originally $8.99. So, tax included, I only paid $1.54 per box! AWESOME deal!

    • Savedbycoupons

      Oops, sorry, somehow I had earned 2 $2.50 EBs on the previous order, one being the reward. The cashier rang it all up, so I’m not sure what all was on the print out….

  17. betsy

    50% off Christmas stuff here also.

    • sarah

      50% at my store today, too. They rarely go any lower – it just disappears…gets thrown out? My store is very small.

  18. Pam

    I also had a $1.00 off any Hair color CVS coupon from the red machine. It printed a week or two ago.

  19. Angie

    Xmas stuff is still only 50% off in OC CA

  20. deb

    Mine was pretty cleaned out, but my Hubby got a Movie Theatere style Popcorn Machine for $30, so he is happy! LOL

  21. rn30032

    my local CVS in Atlanta,GA has Black Opal face products for african-americans or women of color for 75% off…..thsi brand rarely goes on sale or has coupons…so I racked up!!!!
    My quarterly EB’s was $7.00….more than I was expecting

    • Chris

      I’m in Miami and I racked up as well. I was too shocked to see that they were on clearance. Black Radiance is also 50% to 75% off.

  22. Sans

    Can anyone tell me how many cvs coupons can I use in 1 transaction. Is it limited to 4. I planned to use almost 7 coupons that printed in the red machine. Appreciate any help as I’m new to couponing.

    • autumn

      Is it the same cvs coupon your using 7 times?

      • Sans

        no 7 different coupons.

        • Kara

          CVS generally has in their fine print “one per customer” but if they are 7 different types of coupons you should be ok, just not 7 of the same one.

        • autumn

          Oh then yes u can use all of them

  23. KP

    I wonder which store she went to because I live in Austin and the 2 CVS stores I went to today only had their Christmas stuff marked down to 50%.

    • rita

      Same here

  24. Steph

    Only 50% in Ohio and they took forever to go 75% after Halloween. Still got some good deals this week as well as quarterly Ebucks.

    • Shayla

      I’m in Ohio too and I doubt we’ll be seeing 50%; one of the employees told me that rather than going any lower, they’d rather box them up and send to a discount retailers like Ollie’s or something for cheap. Was super sad that they pulled all lights in my area, as that was one thing I was waiting for to go on sale.

      • Shayla

        ***meant to say going anything lower than 50% off***

  25. rose

    the red machine spit out a coupon for 2.00 of 2 tresemme products. CHECK the clearance. Yesterday I got 2 mousse for .99 each= free. today I got the same coupon from the red machine and got a travel shampoo and travel conditioner for free. no size limit on the coupon.

    • Sarah

      Yep, the small size dry shampoo rang up $1.28 and one of the larger sizes (I think the one for dry/damaged hair) rang up $2.99.

  26. Catherine

    If you have the ibotta app installed on your phone, you can earn $$ back on purchases at CVS. They will give you $1.75 if you purchase the Clear Men’s Scalp Therapy shampoo. You snap a pic of the receipt, then scan the barcode and you get $1.75. They do this with lots of stores and many different products, including my favorite store, Publix. If you want to try it out, please use my link! https://ibotta.com/r/5Yvjg

    • R

      Used your referral link. You should be getting your bonus soon 🙂

  27. Karen Hesse

    On CVS site in the coupon section, I was able to print out 2 CVS store coupons for free Clear Scalp shampoo trial size 3 oz.

  28. Brittney

    The Aleve deal did not work for me. :0(
    Any ideas why?

    • mel

      the ECB deal is only for the hand lotions & body creams, not the facial lotions. Even though they’re also on sale $4.99, they don’t count towards the ECB deal this wk.

  29. shannon

    Just returned from my CVS in Southern Indiana. All clearance was signed 25% off but when I scanned it, all of it is 75% off at same prices Colling has noted. In addition to buying practically everything she noted, I found that the full sized Eucerin 13.5 oz. normally $8.99 is ringing up $2.12 !!! I didn’t have any coupons for that with me or know if any are out there but I bought some up at that price since I have psoriasis and this is a lifesaver.

    • shannon

      *Collin*

    • S

      Yay, Southern Indiana! 🙂

    • M

      What Eucerin? Just the regular 13.5 oz? 🙂 I love that stuff!

    • Nichole Thibodeau

      i had a -2.50 off eucerin print out of magic coupon machine so I got it for .13!!

  30. Nora

    AcneFree 5% Terminator was 1.49

  32. Michelle

    Happy savings to you all! I’m home with sick kids and can not get out of the house so I’m living my savings through you! I have to say that 90% off sign on books made me smile!

  33. Jenni

    Hey Shannon…..I’m in Southern Indiana too (Clark Co) & plan to make my trip to CVS tomorrow, but when I was there over the week-end everything was still at 50% off. Hope I get lucky like you & score with some great deals. I guess the best thing is just to SCAN the items & get surprised! Thanks for sharing.

  34. Steph

    BOO…my CVS didn’t have any good sales. I did get the mens Clear shampoo deal and had $5 off Reward bucks from the Magic Coupon Machine. Think ill hang on to it tho an see if they have any sales a different day.

  35. Megan

    I live in the Metro Detroit area and at my CVS none of the clearance was marked (except the Christmas). I was super happy about this because there was a ton left. all I did was scan the items at the magic coupon machine to double check. 🙂 Even the guy who rang me up was surprised by the deals I was getting.

  36. Alla

    Quick question. If I have an ECB can I roll them in the next transaction or is CVS like Rite Aid that I cannot use my rewards till next day? I never shop at CVS so I’m not familiar with the ECB’s. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Happy New Year everyone!

    • Karen T.

      You can use it the same day on another transaction. HTH 🙂

      • Alla

        Thanks Karen T. I really appreciate it 🙂

  37. Deedee

    theres a $1/1 jergans natural glow coupon on their website 🙂

  38. Cici

    Hey! I live in Austin 😀 but the three CVS stores I’ve visited don’t have a table like that. :c which one did she visit?

  39. Martha in Georgia

    I found Kelloggs Mini-Wheats Cereal (Fruit in the Middle) for 75% off in Georgia. It was $1.09 per box and I had $0.70 off coupons! DEAL!

  40. April in WV

    I went into CVS last night and they had a 3 piece luggage set 75% off, making it about 12.25 (orginally $49). I got one for each of my kids. Everyone in line was buying one.

  41. Nichole Thibodeau

    found olay face cleanser for $3 had a -2 off also. simple face cleanser 1.37 bought 2 and used a -3 out of magic coupon machine. john friedas had peelies on them that all expired 12/31 so i didn’t bother but i know a lot of other stores do honor them if they are attached to the package but i figured i get enough for free as it is!! what are your opinions on that?? is it wrong to try…..i’ve been thinking about them ever since!!! lol

  42. Andrea

    Used the $4 off Men’s Clean shampoo coupon from the machine, scored the free conditioner, and the conditioner had a $3 peelie that the cashier let me use. Some of the Tresseme regular size hair sprays were also on clearance for 75% off, for $1.24, which I then used with the $2 off 2 coupon from the machine. I also scored a kids digital camera and jewelry box, for $7 and $2. Great day at CVS!

  43. Houston, TX

    There is a Jergen’s Natural Glow $3/1 peelie at Walmart. This would make a better deal than some I found at HEB on clearance for $3.50

  44. Diane

    Our CVS’s are still only at 50% off 🙁

  45. Hilary C

    The coupon machine printed a $2/2 Tresemme (no size rest.) and a $2/2 Dove coupon. Got some 27 cent trial size deoderant, free mousse, and a 32 oz bottle of tresemme shampoo for $1.27.

  46. Rose

    i asked the manager at one of the cvs in my city and was told that they wont go lower then 75% off ont he Christmas sale after the 75% off they will ship the stuff back or something boooo
    will i hope they change their mind and end up putting it to 90% off

    • Diane

      The manager at Target said same – only drops to 70% then they salvage everything that doesn’t sell. Wish they would donate it to a shelter or something – I also had a friend worked for CVS and they said they throw everything that doesn’t sell right into their dumpsters…so, if you are into dumpster diving (ew), you could score some good stuff I would think!

      • betsy

        The target by me salvages to goodwill..I always find stuff there new!

  47. Jackie

    I got $4/1 clear men from scan my card, I bought shampoo $5.99 and get woman conditioner for $4.99, promotion BOGO conditioner, the register took $5.99 off free, the Q -$4= final $.99 cents

  48. NANCI

    Whew….
    Total after all the coupons and tax was $19.27. My receipt says I ‘saved’ $100.61 today. Better yet, I paid with the CVS egift card I bought for $10 from LivingSocial a few weeks back. So it’s like I paid $10 OOP! I’m stocked up on Lotion and face wash for a while AND this should go towards my Beauty Club Rewards. Thanks Collin!!

  50. valgal

    In Chicago, some of the Simple facial care items are now 75% off…I got several last week at 50% with several coupons from coupons.com but not sure if they are still available.

    • valgal

      Also, got the Jergens Natural Glow a few days ago at 50% and there was a hang tag coupon for $2/2 – good luck!
