Here is some info I came across recently about clearance at CVS


Some info on the clearances at CVS....
*this was originally posted toward the end of Spring 2007

There are two major types of clearances: AMM (automatic Markdowns) and
clearances on "Seasonal" stuff like holidays, spring items, summer items...
these are things that are not regularly carried.

This week, the seasonal markdowns just started for the Spring Items. The
Spring Items (spring flowers, storage, wind chimes, etc) SHOULD be marked
down to 50%. Next week they'll go to 75% (if the store manager doesn't push
it to get it out of there sooner... they'll mark it down earlier... its up
the the GM). They have a deadline to get "summer" set... so they may get in
a hurry to get it outta there..

Ok, AMM's.... Every year, CVS has "Plans". This is where they "rebuild" each
section of the store (shampoo/conditioners, hairstyling, shaving/deodorants,
etc..) Soon before they "rebuild" a section of the store, the system sends
down discounts on things that will no longer be included in the new "Plan".
The system is supposed to send the AMMs down on Tuesdays, but they come on
Mondays most of the time. Good store mgrs will get the AMMs started on
Mondays (these are the little tags you see hanging on the shelves in home
locations for 25%, 50%, 75% and some of them just say clearance with no
discount). These clearance deals are good until they're gone and no more
product can be ordered or will come into the stores. Coupons can be used on
these items. These items will normally go on clearance for 4 weeks... 25%
first week, 50% second week, 75% third week, and then they will go back to
just clearance with no discount. At that point, its up to the mgr to
manually mark those down and move them to the clearance end-cap. (This should
be in the back of the store on the left hand side most of the time).

In the first of the year, right after the Christmas clearances, makeup goes
on clearance. Soon after that is shampoo, hair styling/color/accessories,
soaps/body wash, lotion, deodorants, mostly health and beauty. The "other
side" of the store will come later in the year.

I found Cadbury butterscotch crunch miniatures 8.5 oz. bags on clearance for $1.20 but it's only on the butterscotch flavor.

My store had 2 with a 75% off sticker on them. I wasn't brave enough (the colors weren't my taste anyway) to try and see if they'd give ECB's for 'free' on the current 2 day sale. But at any rate, regular price: $7.99, currently about $2 each.

HTH!

BTW_they were in with all the full price loreal makeup.

Loreal mascara marked 75% off so costs $2.37 had a $1 off so got it for $1.37

I ran up to CVS today for a newspaper and I browsed around real quik and found Starbucks Chocolate clearanced for $1.37. With the $1/1 coupon they cost me .37 cents. I already gave them to a friend so I will try and explain them the best I can. They are small boxes of individually wrapped chocolates in two or three different flavors. I would guess they are about 4oz. or so. My CVS only two left so check it out quickly before they are all gone.

I was looking to buy Soft Soap, buy $10,get $3, I scanned the Nutra-Oil Hydrating, 7.5 oz hand Soft Soap, it was clearanced to $1.40, from $2.79, at my CVS! There were no signs of the clearance, I was scanning checking prices, on the red price/coupon scanner box. I bought the lone bottle of Nutra-Oil Hydrating Soft Soap, along with more Soft Soap, got my $10 worth and my $3 EB (limit 1).

Many different types of Sally Hansen nail polish are on clearance for 50% off or more right now (part of the annual beauty mark-down/clearance). One kind is regularly priced at $2.49 and another is $2.79 making them clearance priced at $1.25 and $1.40. Both the current Beauty Book and the new Beauty Book have Q's for $3 off any 2 Sally Hansen nail polish meaning these will be free or produce overage depending on whether your CVS adjusts down coupons.

You can use multiple coupons in the same transaction (these coupons do not say limit one per customer as many other CVS Q's do).

This is an even better deal if you happen to have any $/$$ Q's. Enjoy!

My store had Infusium 23 shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in treatment on clearance for $3.50, and with the $3/1 Q in this weeks P&G it made it 50c (plus tax) OOP. Not bad since that stuff is normally pretty expensive.
