Most stores are resetting their aisles, first it was cosmetics, lotions, body soap, shampoo and hair coloring soon will be deo and shaving then dental. When the aisles get reset that is when the mark downs happen. My store just clearanced out a ton of Hair Coloring most about $2 a box and you can use your coupons.

Watch out, CVS has tightened their belt on coupons. They are no longer able to force a coupon thru, if the register beeps telling the cashier coupon does not match they can no longer accept it.

Let me see if I did this right and feel free to give me tips.

Went with $5 in ECB.

Bought:
2 Right Gaurd Deodorants
1 Dial Lotion
1 Irish Spring Bodywash

Total: $13.41
Coupons:
B1G1 for the Right Gaurd
$1 off for the Dial
.50 for the Irish Spring

Got back $6 in ECB form the items purchased.

I then turned around and got the Crest whitestrips. Starting price $39.99, I had a $10 coupon, $11 in ECB and got $10 ECBs back. So essentially paid $10 for the strips.

Any critics would help.
