    great deals! there are also two coupons on target’s website.. not sure if they are target coupons or manufacturer coupons though. one is 2 dollars off almay smart shade item and the other is 1 dollar off almay intense i-color item

    • Ashley

      Just printed both of them- they are indeed target coupons with an expiration of 5/11 .. It would make the intense i-color items FREE, not sure how much the smart shade items cost.

    • Ruby

      help me please, I don’t know how to print the coupon for the almay makeup

  2. tiffany

    Ohhhhh, so excited for this!!!

  3. sandy

    Didn’t get these in NJ

    • GPY

      Which paper? I’m going to buy the Philadelphia Inquirer tomorrow, so I’m wondering if you bought a North or South Jersey paper (though it might not make a difference!)

  4. Robbie

    The coupon is already on ebay.

    • brandice

      Lol

      • Robbie

        Too much for me to spend on coupons. They must make a killing on these HOT coupons.

      • mel

        its been on EBay since earlier in the wk!

        • Heather

          THANK YOU for posting that it’s been on Ebay. I wanted a bunch of these coupons to stock up on makeup remover/makeup for my little sister’s Christmas project (making her a magnetic makeup board).. just purchased (20) of these coupons for only $3.16 shipped! Beats having to buy a few newspapers at $1.25 each just for these!

          • Alla

            Heather you said $1.25 for a newspaper? You are really lucky to have that price. Wish we had them here in WNY for $1.25. Our price is $2.50 per sunday paper. So when there is only 1 insert and paying $2.50 for it is really ridicoulous especially when I plan to purchase 3 or 4 papers.

    • Melissa

      What I have asked many times and never gotten an answer to is how these people and the coupons selling sites get these coupons in the first place. Can anybody tell me?

      • Heather

        Some work with companies that deliver the papers/coupons, and they just take whatever’s leftover. I know some cities have coupon stands (like newspaper stands that u put quarters in) for free coupons.. lots take those too.

  5. Maria

    I’ll be on the Lookout now.

    Also the app Wrapp has $5 in-store Victoria Secret gift cards. I just received one this morning!

    • Missy

      Thanks for the heads up, I just sent a few out!

    • Laura

      Just checked and I gave some too. Thanks.

  6. Angie

    How do you know that this Almay coupon will be in 4/14? When I checked Sunday Coupon Preview, it isn’t listed. Should I be checking another source? Thanks for the info.

    • mel

      looks like it will be a regional distributed coupon. I can’t go by scp b/c my inserts never get half the stuff that’s listed.

      • mar

        same here, i usually just let myself be surprised these days, that way I don’t get disappointed anymore 🙂

    • Deb

      I get the Smart Source coupons in the mail on the Thurs or Fri BEFORE. I can vouch for the fact that it was in mine here in W. MI

  7. Theresa

    I got the Almay coupon today in the little paper they throw in my driveway :).

    • Steph

      Same here, I’m outside Columbus, OH and get “The bag” delivered every Saturday. It has the ads that are not included in the Sunday paper and every now and then they include a coupon insert. This week they added Smartsource and it did have the $4 Almay coupon in it.

  8. ashley

    NJ is slacking on this amazing coupon 🙁 so devastated

    • Heather

      Buy the coupon on ebay! I just got 20 of them for $3.16 + free shipping 🙂

      • Alisa

        What seller did you use and are they reliable. I see mixed reviews about how reliable the sellers are. I am really tempted to buy some Almay coupons but I don’t want to get scammed.

        • Heather

          I purchased (60) of them altogether. I’ve been working on magnetic makeup boards as Christmas gifts for the girls in my family this year.. so that’s why I purchased so many coupons. Now I can fill the makeup board with cheap/free makeup!

          Go to ebay & type in “$4 Almay coupon”. You’ll see about 150 people who have listed the coupons. When you click on the ones you want to purchase, it will tell you who the seller is & list a feedback score for that seller. If they have good ratings – I’d purchase! I’ve never been scammed on eBay, and I’ve purchased well over 1,000 times. I have had (2) instances where a seller didn’t ship on time so I asked eBay to refund my $ and they did.

          • Hannah

            Just so no one gets their hopes up, at the time I’m typing this, there are only 23 sellers for that coupon (and some were inserts), not 150. Also, the price averages to about $7 for 20 of them. Heather, you really lucked out! I’ve been checking since this morning and haven’t seen them anywhere close to that. $7 certainly isn’t a bad price for those, but $3.16 would be a heck of a lot better! LOL

    • Janet

      Papers here in SJersey cost $2. for Atlantic City Press and $2. for Phila. Inquirer. I was lucky enough to get 3 of the Almay coupons. BF gets the Press and buys me the Inquirer. The 3rd Q came from a freebee that the Press throws around to homes that have said they want to receive what they call the Sunday Saver. It’s just ads and the coupons. The $4. Almay coupon has a very short expiration – expires 4-28-13. So we can’t plan on hanging on to it or very long.

  9. Sandy

    Nice way to build your Beauty Club total at CVS.

    • Amanda

      Great idea! I completely forgot about that.

      • Sandy

        I did the Dermasilk deal this week as well. $29.99, on sale for $19.99, $10 MFQ with a $10 ECB back.

  10. Samantha

    Just got 20 on ebay for 6.00! Not bad considering I used money from ibotta I cashed out earlier in the week. It’s a great coupon! I will be stocking up! 🙂

  11. mar

    this might be a silly question, but are makeup removers a “cosmetic” product?

    • Patti

      I tried using an Almay “cosmetic product” coupon on those at both Walgreens and CVS and neither one would let me use it.

      • mar

        hopefully, it scans fine, but i’m seeing problems at some of my more “finicky” stores

    • Susan

      Read Collin’s Walgreens description and special note above. She answers this.

      • mar

        thanks, i missed that.

  12. CW

    NO $4 Almay coupon in South Florida papers 🙁

    • tia

      Not surprised!

  13. Melissa

    Here’s hoping we get it in Oregon!

  14. Mike

    OK, I am just wondering are the Almay Eye Makeup Remover Pads, 15ct trial size? I have looked these containers all over and, unlike other products, do not see the words “trial/travel size” anywhere on them. I have tried contacting Almay about this question, but have yet to hear back. I am all about ethical couponning, but I am also all about getting as many of these as I can and using the overage at Walmart to get the baby supplies my wife and I still need for our fast approaching birth…

    Thanks,
    Mike

    • Sandy

      If the coupon does not have a restriction on size, then I would feel good about using. If the coupon does state not good on trial size/travel products and the product itself does not indicate trial size/travel, then I would use. I too, am concerned about utilizing a coupon legally but, I also hold the manufacturer responsible to make things perfectly clear. I don’t have a coupon I could decipher for you. I’d read the coupon carefully as well as the product you’re interested in purchasing. If it all looks good, I’d give it a try. Good luck and best wishes on a healthy, happy delivery!

      • Mike

        Just got an “official” answer to some of the questions posted on here…

        I JUST got off the phone with the Almay customer service. They said they consider the eye makeup remover pads to be part of their cosmetic line; however, coupon redemption is at the discretion of each store. My translation of that, one CVS may say no but another may say yes.

        About the 15 ct, the representative said their trial size products specifically say on them “trial size”, so the 15 ct is not excluded.

        • Jen

          I just used 12 of these coupons on the 15 ct. eye make-up remover pads at Walmart, and scored big in overages, which I used to buy other groceries. It took a CSM to approve the coupons, which made me wonder if I used the coupons legally. So glad to see your post, Mike. I have 18 more coupons to use! I purchased them from ebay.

    • Tracy

      I used the $5/2 Almay coupon from coupons.com with no problem at Walmart to get the 15 ct.

      • Kat

        Where in Walmart did u find the 15 count?

        • Heather

          I was wondering as well. Sadly, my local walmart doesn’t carry Almay at all. :*(

    • Mike

      The coupon does state “excludes trial size”, but the 15 ct does not say it is trial size. Thanks for the reply and the good wishes.

      @Kat, the 15 ct were in the main cosmetics aisle with the other eye makeup removers in the Almay section.

  15. Jenny Bosse

    no almay coupon in Presque isle maine newspaer

  16. edy

    In our city Houston,tx the redplum was thrown in the neighbohoods tuesday for free! And yesterday and today they throw the smart source with the almay cpns and a 3dlr cpn for poise!! And most of the citys have spanish newspapers stands with this free cupons. My cousin lives in dallas,tx she gets them even the greensheet and if u have a family dollar they have cpns for .50 lysol great sales mega at kroger if u have one.

  17. Marija

    I was at Target today and they have the eye shadow for $4.99. Use the $4 manufacturer coupon and the $1 off target coupon (on their website) = free eye shadow!

  18. Jen

    Got the coupon here is SW Minnesota. We get them in our Saturday paper. Went and grabbed my moms and already used them at Walmart to get new eyeshadows for $.97 a piece!

  19. KP

    Not in Maryland

  20. Lindsey

    I am very new to couponing and was thinking of buying some of the almay coupons off ebay ( is that ok?) so if I get a lot of 10 can I use them all at once at target or broken up on different days?

    • Heather

      I purchased (20) of them off of ebay ($3.16 shipped!) and plan to use them at many stores.

  21. Jefferson Walker

    Can some please trade me!! This will make for a great CVS Deal on 4/21

  22. Sarah

    Definitely not in NJ paper unless its in a different part of the state.

  23. diane

    So disappointed – Not in the AJC (Atlanta)
    I would’ve bought a bunch of papers. Oh, well.

  24. Audrey

    It wasn’t in the Atlanta paper. 🙁

  25. Denise

    didn’t get these in MI

    (actually, didn’t get most of the SS or RP coupons posted, but got different ones that weren’t posted)

  26. GPY

    I got it in the Philadelphia Inquirer (purchased at CVS)!!!

    And I got 20% off with the shopping pass that was emailed to me on 4/11 (had to print by today to use within 4 days)

  27. Victoria

    Not in the central valley here in Northern CA either. I’m getting my grandpa’s San Francisco Chronicle inserts later, maybe I’ll get lucky. So sad!

  28. Heather

    Coupon was not in the Greenville, NC smartsource coupon insert. :*( I purchased them off of Ebay, so no worries. Also, the Walmart here does not sell Almay – just FYI for any other local readers!

    Thanks for posting this deal!

  29. Tarri

    No coupon in Sac Bee 🙁

  30. Heidi

    no coupon in corning ny either 🙁

  31. Michelle

    Walgreens won’t accept the $4 coupons for the makeup removing item. they said the coupon is for cosmetic item only. although their weekly ad ft. the makeup remover. so i took my coupons to target and combined them with $1 almay intense i-color coupons and got two eye shadows for free. they are $4.99 each.

  32. Guest2

    No Almay coupon in Fort Lauderdale. 🙁 But I would’ve wanted to use it for the make up removers and Walgreens won’t accept it for those anyway…so no harm no foul.

  33. Ruby

    no 4/1 coupon for almay makeup in valdosta georgia either, I was so angry I went and bought five papers to get me some new makeup and guess what it was not there.

    • brooklynlongden@ymail.com

      me too!

  34. brooklynlongden@ymail.com

    wasnt in mine in California 🙁

  35. Steph

    If your not in a hurry to use them you can wait until the next cvs ad that starts this sunday 4/21 and they will give $4 eb when you spend $10. A little different than the b1g1 1/2 off that they are doing this week. Also the coupon machine at cvs gave me a $3 off any almay cosmetic purchase. It doesn’t expire until 4/22 so I’m waiting until sunday to buy almay. Saw this over @ iheartcvs site.

  36. Eyez

    the magic cvs coupon machine also printed out a $2 off $8 toothpaste coupon for me yesterday. this pairs nice with the toothpaste sale on crest 2 pack for $6.49 ($3 ecb) and bogo colgate 4 oz for $3.49. plus I used the75 cent off colgate coupon from Sunday’s paper (sorry, not sure what section it came from).

  37. Shirley

    just got back from Walgreens. I bought 4 eye make up remover pads for $5.99 each. Gave 4 $4/MQ and the cashier would only take 2 of the $4 cpns as face value and the other 2 he reduced to the 2 items that were 1/2 off (2.99). He said I could not get $4 off of an item that was 2.99 so he just matched it. Never had that happen before… I didn’t know what to say so sat in car for a few minutes and decided to go back in and speak with a manager… Explained the situation and she gave me the difference… She wasn’t sure why it was done that way.. she said they usually just scan the coupons in… and I explained that he manually entered the last 2 cpn amounts….

  38. Shaleece

    Hello,

    I could not find the Almay Coupon in Smart Source. Is it only available in certain cities? Or can someone please let me know where in SS it’s located? Maybe I just missed it. Thank you.

  39. ashley

    At cvs i also got a two dollars off a five dollar cosmetics coupon for scanning my cvs card at the coupon center. So i used my two Almay coupons that coupon on top of the bogo half off sale! Great deal!

  40. Lazelle

    nothing here in sacramento :0

  41. khlod

    I don’t do specials at Walgreens because of the new rewards system which I don’t like. Anyhow I’ve stopped after picking up my son from school to buy him a poster board for special school project and the machine printed out a coupon for $2.00 of Almay cosmetic purchase exp. 6/10 . Just for Info.
    Thank you Collin …you rock with all the specials..

  42. Dessirae

    Does anyone know how many of each coupon you can print off of the Target website?

    • Julie

      I can print two of each coupon on Target’s site, but I have only one computer and one printer. Not sure if you can print more with additional computers or printers.

  43. Andrea

    The AJC (Atlanta, GA) newspapers I purchased did not have the Smartsource insert. Only the Redplum and P&G inserts were included in my papers. Did this happen to any of my fellow Atlantans?

  44. Dominico

    I love almay. Does anyone know how often these 4/1 coupons come out. Thanks
