CVS ~ Clearance: Clearance Deals ~ Post Them Here

[cuzisaidso]

Did you find a clearance deal you would like to share? If so please post it here.


NOTE: 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 purchased 8 boxes total $71.92 - $35.96 BOGO - $1/1 MQ + $20 ECBs =$14.96 total oop No telling if there is a limit because it is unadvertised and does not show a limit on the receipt. The CVS store mgr was surprised at the deal and could not find it listed anywhere either. Lucky us!! Makes for great inexpensive valentines day teacher gifts.

Thanks!! which kind did you get. I think there is a February/Monthly deal for Russell sugar free but maybe all kinds are included? TIA.

I got two different types: caramels (white and purple box) and nuts (gold and bronze box). I believe that you are right- it seems that these items are being accepted as if it were sugar-free RS from the earlier Feb monthly ad.

Alot of the stores I've been in over the past couple of days have alot of Skin Effects products on clearance and there was an emailed cvs coupon for $5/2 making them very cheap or free. I also found Almay facial bars for .47 which I think you can use your $1/1 Almay cosmetics coupons...I haven't tried it yet though. I'm still finding quite a bit of Pantene on clearance at my stores. One of my stores had a bunch of Neutrogena face products on clearance for really good prices but I didn't have any coupons...

I had to find these by scanning buggies filled with mixed sale and clearance items:

I am new and did not realize that they just throw sale and clearance items into buggies together, at least in my store.

Listerine Smart Rinse Berry 250 ml 1.07
