We stopped at CVS last night to pick up some clearance L’Oreal Skincare for Stephanie, plus I wanted to pick up the freebie and moneymaker Fred wrote about yesterday. While I was there I found even more clearance deals which I will write about shortly once I download the pics from my mobile phone. There is so much clearance at CVS right now that you can really rack up the beauty club rewards while scoring some great deals. Collectively, we bought almost enough stuff to generate another $5 Extra Bucks reward from the Beauty Club, but I’m not including it in the calculations.
Here is what we bought, along with the coupons used:

*** FYI – Because these are the larger bottles, they do not count towards the P&G deal. (I was hoping otherwise!)

I am not getting any of the good CVS beauty coupons printing on the red machine. How do I find out for sure if I am signed up for the beauty club and the double quarterly extra bucks so I can ensure i am maximizing my savings?
Tell your cashier that you want to join the beauty club on your next visit to the store. They can sign you up. You can also do it online at CVS.com. I don’t have the link handy, but there’s a place you can do it on their site.
HEY STEVE HAPPY NEW -YEAR,
I just printed my rebate form for the L’Oreal Paris and it say you have to buy all in one transactions im upset cause i went to all my cvs and picked up the youth code stater kits for 8.47 normally 35.79 i got 5 of them now i cant do rebate any idea to help
plase and thanks in advance
Well, I don’t know if your store will do this because they are clearance, but you could take them back to the store (when they are not busy) and ask them really nicely to return them and ring them up again all in one transaction.
Steve, thank you for sharing your trip. How does CVS deal with clearance items? Does the clearance items change by week or until they can sell them all? …I’d love to know whether I can buy Youth code with the same price tomorrow? or deal will be over? Thank you in advance.
The clearance deals will stay on the shelf until they are gone. If they are not at 75% yet, they will continue to drop the price until it hits 75% or the products are gone, whichever comes first.
