    Alot of “ifs”…. Probably won’t work for me considering my luck but I hope it does!!

  2. Heather C.

    Wish I had a $X/X skincare purchase from MCM!

  3. Jolene

    Physicians Formula purchases also count for CVS Beauty Bucks tally (Get 5 ecb when at $50 spent pre-coupon)

  4. Holly

    wish they sold the skincare line at my cvs’s

    • chrissy1925

      The store I went to yesterday also didn’t carry the skincare line.

      • chrissy1925

        .

    • Holly A.

      Try the larger CVS’s. When these were free last year with sale and scanner Q, I went to a small CVS to find nothing, but later went to a more larger store and found them.

  5. Aimee

    I did this deal yesterday. I had a $4/$20 skincare q from the coupon machine and was able to find the b1g1 peelies on the product. I told another lady who was browsing the skin care aisle and she did it too. We both got back the $15 ECB.

    • Debbie

      Did your receipt so limit reached or were you able to do it more.

  6. Alyssa

    I just checked my cvs. They did have the peelies, but no sign mentioning extrabucks. So I was scared to try it. Could it be a regional thing or are ecb deals usually the same at all stores?

    • Heather C.

      You could do the transaction, but just mention to the cashier that you may be doing a return on them if the EB don’t print. 🙂

    If you live near an HEB mine had a ton of physicians formula marked down to $1.50 and $2.00 I got powder blush eyeliner mascara and eyeshadows 🙂

    • letty

      Which Heb did you go to?

  8. Shannon

    Random question…has anyone done the Aveeno deal with the anti-itch cream? My CVS does not have it marked as part of the deal, so I am wondering if anyone has done it and received the extrabucks? Thanks!

    • Heather C.

      I’ve read more than one post on here that the anti-itch cream is NOT producing the EBs.

        Ok, thanks Heather.

          You’re welcome 🙂

    • Mariel

      Tried the Aveeno deal and it was not included.

    • Sandra

      I did the Aveno anti-itch cream and it did not give the $10. I mentioned it to the cashier and she got approval from the manager to give me the $10. I didn’t make a fuss, she just said we aim to please. Otherwise, I would have returned the items (though I didn’t threaten that).

    Working in Northern VA even without a sign posted near the product!

    • binkybell

      Hi, Aliza, I’m in Northern VA, too. 🙂

  10. Mandy

    What is the limit?

    • diane

      my receipt said *offer limit reached
      after I received the $15 extrabucks

      • Mandy

        Thanks!

  11. Doreen

    I would love a BOGO coupon. If anyone has an extra, I could trade something? I have a Walgreens $5 off enfamil formula coupon and other coupons?

    • Colleen

      I have an extra one from my two bottles. What is your email so I can get your address

  12. Aimee

    It’s not regional. It’s an unadvertised monthly ECB.

    • shannon

      how do you find out about unadvertised monthly ECB’s (besides Hip2save, of course)?

      • Trena

        another great website is http://www.iheartcvs.com. You can see the ads up to 3 weeks in advance. HTH:)

  13. Sue

    I have a 20% off coupon. Can it be used on the deal?

    • Heather C.

      Yep, you sure can. Should make for an awesome deal! If you buy the 19.99 item and have a BOGO peelie Q, it could be a 3.00 MM for you if they take the 20% off 39.98! Not sure what order the register would process the coupons though… 🙂

  14. Priscilla

    Where are these usually found in the store?

    • picchu

      Along witht the skin care line of products. My store had it along with the Roc and l’oreal, and the Simple skin are products!!! Hope that helps.

  15. TIna

    went to 2 CVS…all of the BOGO peelies had been peeled off 🙁

    • chrissy1925

      I hate it when people do that! I’ve been seeing a lot of that lately and that is NOT the early bird gets the worm. That’s plain wrong!

    • Kathryn K

      if it’s attached to the product, that’s like stealing part of it.

    • cjs

      They were peeled off all the ones at the 1 store I went to…..so annoying!

    • Leslie

      I notice this all the time and when I was looking for coupons on ebay, people are selling peelies in groups of 20!!! What the heck!!!

      • chrissy1925

        What!? No way! Unbelievable!

  16. Kidsallgone

    I called one of the larger stores and they had a lot of the items, but none with the BOGO peelies. I have them holding me a $19.99 one for me. None of the other CVS stores within a 5 mile range even carry the item! So, I’ll pay for it with a $20 ecb and get back $15. It’s free money I’m paying with, a free item I’ll be getting, and free money I’ll be getting back. Sounds good to me 🙂 🙂 🙂

  17. Kidsallgone

    Oh, forgot to ask….if anyone got an extra BOGO coupon, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE one! I have diaper coupons or perhaps some others you might be looking for? Or I could paypal you the postage?Thanks so much in advance! My email is: mdb123xyz at aol dot com 🙂 🙂 🙂

    • Jennifer

      I have an extra one. I will send you an email now to get your address!

  18. Sherena

    I love Hip2Save!! Just left CVS and got the Physicians Formula and left with $15!!! Thank goodness the product I got had a B1G1 peelie attached. It worked in Columbia SC…but the products did not have tag as the picture above.

    • Kidsallgone

      Hey Sherena….any chance you got a peelie on both items and can send one my way? Would LOVE IT! I can send you money for the postage or you can tell me some coupons you like and I can see if I have them? 🙂 🙂 : )

  19. Beth

    Worked for me, got 2 PF at $20.99 each, spend another $8 on other deals (toothpaste, 20 oz. Diet Cokes and got to use a $10 off $50 purchase, B1G1 for $20.99 off, $2.00 off Colgate Sensitive mailer coupon, $0.50 Colgate coupon, $0.75/2 Diet Coke. I used $12 in Extra Bucks, $5.25 out of pocket and got $15 EXB for PF, $4 EXB for Colgate so it was a $1.75 MM ($42 towards a Beauty Club Rewards

  20. Cindy

    There is also a $1 off manufacturers coupon for Physicians Formula product in the 2/10 Smart Source insert.

  21. Jennifer

    What a fantastic find! I just went to CVS and snagged two $20.99 creams, used a $4/$10 face cream coupon from the magic coupon machine plus the BOGO! I’m in NOVA (Alexandria).

  22. Kim

    My store was not spend 20 get 15. it was spend 10 get 7. No bogo coupons so I bought something for 12.49,used a $4/$12 cosmetic coupon from the machine. Spent $8.50 got back $7 ecb. Still a pretty good deal. Plus my store is still doing the toothpaste and shave gel from yesterday!

    • mel

      this is the facial lotions in the purple or blue bottles, found around olay, l’oreal etc…

  23. Holly A.

    My mom LOVES the dark spot corrector! I gave it as a gift a few months ago.

    Last month she asked me to pick up more if I find a good price. I checked Ulta’s website to find they were 50% off, but in-store I couldnt find them. I asked a SA, she said they were still in the back b/c they dont have a display/place for them yet. She got what I was looking for and there was a BOGO MQ that expired Sept 2012, but the BOGO was for a matching facewash. Luckily the manager honored it. Plus I used Ulta’s $3.50/$10 Q. In the end it was $7.50 for 2 products; I thought that was a good deal.

    Hopefully I can find the BOGO mq’s in store. Mom will be stoked if I surprise her with the dark spot corrector.

  24. bree

    What about the buy 10.00 get 7.00 ECB. Is this a double dipper?

    • Colleen

      At our CVS they are two physician formula separate deals but one $15 ecb printed for the face care physician formula products that we purchased.

      • Colleen

        should read “there are” two physician formula…my mistake

        • mel

          these are 2 sep deals. the spend $20 is for the facial skin care (lotions, serums, etc) and the spend $10 is on cosmetics.

      • racquel

        Was it a specific item you purchased? I bought the Hydrating eye cream and moisture cream.

  25. shannon

    My store only had 2 choices of skincare items but there was a bogo peelie on it. So I got 2 creams for $6. Will be a nice item for a local Girl’s school I give stuff to!

  26. Meghann

    If anyone would please send me a bogo coupon I would really appreciate it! I would pay for postage or send some valuable neutrogena coupons!!

    Texasffa3147@yahoo.com

  27. Aimee

    The $7 ECB is when you spend $10 on cosmetics not skin care. That is a separate deal that is not advertised in many stores but it will work.

  28. sara

    Deal worked for me in Mount Pleasant, SC. There were BOGO peelies on about half of the items, so I was able to utilize that and a $4 off $20 skincare CVS Q for a very nice deal. Thanks so much for the heads up!

    • Stefanie

      I’m in West Ashley! 🙂

      • Kidsallgone

        Me too….well, close by 🙂 🙂 🙂
        We should all get together for lunch one day and swap coupons!! Mt P is a bit far for me to grab this deal.

      • Kidsallgone

        Stephanie, which store had the bogo stickers? Sara found hers in Mt P. I’m looking for them in WA but haven’t found any 🙁

    • Patty

      Sara, Could I get your extra bogo? I’m in WA but they didn’t have any at my store.

    • Patty

      Sara, Which Mt. P store did you go to? I’d like to try to go today if possible. (unless you are willing to give me your extra bogo.) Sorry, I replied to Stefanie’s message yesterday instead of yours. TIA!!!

  29. Ila

    would like BOGO coupon ASAP. will send free suave shampoo coupon

    • Samantha

      I have an extra bogo stickie for the physicians formula

      • Ila

        please check your e-mail

  30. Samantha

    I got this deal today in Manitowoc WI. I didn’t get the $5 off coupon from the “magic machine”, but they did have the bogo stickie on them. So…2 @ $21.99 each = $43.98 bogo – $21.99 = $21.99 – $15 EBC = $6.99 for both or $3.49 each!!! Great deal for TWO Physicians Formula Wrinkle Filler & Deep Moisture Repair!

    • Patty

      Samantha, Any way I could get your extra bogo Q? I’ll trade you something! mycollin1@yahoo.com

  31. brandice

    Deal worked for me just now in Decatur Ga…..got 2dark spot correctors at $21.99 each had a $6/$30 skin care purchase and a both items had a bogo q. And got back a $15 EB…..collin u are awesome

    • Bp

      Any chance you have a spare bogo coupon I could have?

  32. sheila

    I’m planning to get two bottles of dark spot corrector $22.49 each. I have one $6 off $30 facial care coupon, one $5 off $25 and 1 BOGO PF coupon. Can I use all of them?

    • Heather C.

      My CVS has always let me combine coupons like that. Hope you can too… would make for a sweet deal! 🙂

        Hey Heather,
        So far it seems even though the sign wasn’t up people still got back the $15 of course except for me. Just my luck. I am in NY. Bought 2 $20.99 items but no EB. Any advice.

        • Heather C.

          Hmmmm… You could call corporate and see what they say. If you kept the products you purchased, and were supposed to get the EBs, I’m sure they will happily credit them to you. 🙂 If you call them, let us know what they say! 🙂

          • Racquel

            Thanks for replying. i called corporate. The rep was extremely nice. She even signed me up for the Beauty Club that I thought I was already in but not. She will verify my purchase but she has for my receipt to load to their system and she promised to work on it and call me back by Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed that she is able to find the promo. My store did not have any signs and it’s not in my flyer. But I will hold on to the products until she calls back. Thanks for your advice.

            • Heather C.

              That’s great, hopefully everything works out for you!

    • mel

      The wording in the coupons say something like limit one off your purchase based coupon per transaction… But the coupon policy says you can use multiple $/$$ as long as you meet the requirements of both coupons, so you’d need $55.

  33. Marlena

    My CVS didn’t carry the facial care, BUT I did take advantage of the $7 EB when you spent $10 on Phy Form cosmetics. Still a pretty sweet deal

  34. Melanie

    Wonderful Deal! My CVS had the Skin Care with peelies but no sign for the $15Ecb offer.
    I did get my $15Ecb’s. Yeah!

  35. Steph

    Deal worked great for me! I have an extra BOGO that I will trade for a “Wreck it Ralph” coupon. My computer didn’t print it and now it says limit reached. Email me if you want to trade: sckern1@gmail.com

  36. tia

    if anyone has a buy 1 get 1 Extra from the Physicians Formula is there anyway you could send me 1 please I would appreciate it if you can spare 1 thank you very much…;-)

    • Mira

      Hi Steph – I just sent you an e-mail… hopefully you still need to trade! Thanks, Mira

  37. Bp

    Does anyone have a bogo coupon that they could spare? I would greatly appreciate it! Maybe swap for some other coupons?

  38. Cindy

    Went to one of my local CVS’s (I have about 3 or 4 that are around me) and they had the product but not with the BOGO peelie. 🙁 I intend on going to a different one to see tomorrow… I guess at the very worst I’ll just have to fork over a few dollars for it (which is still a good deal) but I had forgotten to get my coupon for the Schick shave gel so it was just another reason why I didn’t end up buying it.

  39. lacie

    hmm i dont think mine has the skin care items.. i will have to check or call?? thats a great deal.. and i love there stuff.. so make up is fantastic im sure the skin care would be as great

  40. Patty

    I know I’ve asked a few times but does anyone have an extra bogo I could have? I’ll trade whatever I have you may want. Thanks!

    • Mindy

      I have an extra one if you are still looking to trade!

  41. bren60

    Did this deal work for anyone in Indianapolis….I could not find any skin care products here

  42. Esmeralda

    This worked for me in Houston, Tx!!! There were no bogo coupons, but I’m still happy!!

  43. rn30032

    I have an Extra BOGO q…if u want it…post here!! first response gets it…TIA I am in Ga, so I am not sure if this deal ends this week or this month. the earlierst I can get it out is Thurs

    • KP

      Please email me at miniyorkie.uno@gmail.com. I think this deal lasts until 3/30. I have $5/2 Neutrogena or B1G1 Biore and others to trade, just let me know. Thank you soooooo much!

  44. Lorraine

    All these “extra” BOGO coupons, WOW! my store had none on the product.

    • Kelly

      Mine either! What a shame.

    • brandice

      Yep all the products in my store still had the bogo q’s on them….otherwise its stealing to remove them

  45. Cyndi

    Might be a fat chance but anybody have an extra BOGO coupon they would give up? Willing to trade for whatever I have that you want. Thanks!

    • yuli

      I have BOGO coupons, enough of the to share with you or anyone else. Just tell me how to send them to you

      • Karen

        Could you contact me at fin1012001@yahoo.com? I would love to have a BOGO coupon and have not seem them locally.

  46. Malvie

    The BOGO is max 18.49 and the cheapest cream/lotion was 19.99, still a good deal though. But it is an FYI.

    • shannon

      on my BOGO it was max $22.49 so I got my $20.99 item qualified.

  47. Leslie

    Does anyone happen to have an extra BOGO coupon? If you need a coupon and I have it, I can trade?? thanks 🙂 L.Seabrook@hotmail.com

  48. Maxine

    Got this today in Beavercreek, Oh along with the crest, Colgate and the hydro shaving creme! Thanks Collin! Have an extra BOGO if anyone wants it, email me maxinemmar@aim.com. First one gets it. The expiration date is 6/30/13.

  49. Conswalla

    I found them at the CVS across the street from my job. Luckily, they had the peelies. Earlier today, I received an email for 20% off my next purchase. It made the deal even sweeter:

    2 Schick Sensitive Shave Gels $8.78
    2 Physicians Formula Dark Spot Corrector $44.98
    BOGO -$2249
    20% CVS Coupon $10.76
    I paid $21.75 w/tax
    I received $23.00 in ECB’s
    Money Maker

    Yesterday’s purchase:

    2 Crest w/Scope Mint 2.72 toothpastes $5.74
    Received $6.00 in ECB’s
    Money Maker

    YES! Thanks Collin!

  50. Karen

    Does anyone know if the night cream sells for 19.49, if you still get the $15 ECB with this purchase? Is 19.49 close enough to 20.00 for it to work, in your experience with ECB deals?
