CVS update!

If you read my post a few days ago about the Milani deal, you know that I have been hoping to hear from someone who actually used the CVS slot machine coupon (if you missed it, CVS is currently printing out buy 1 Milani lip product, get 1 free coupons), got the coupon, and used it in conjunction with the current BOGO1/2OFF sale on Milani products.

Well I am thrilled to tell you that my lovely reader Jen not only got the coupon, but used it in conjunction with the Milani sale, and only had to pay for the 50% off item! In other words, if you use the BOGO Milani lip product coupon during the BOGO1/2OFF sale, you will get one product for free, and then you only pay for the lesser-priced item (the 50% off item). What a deal! But it gets better: when Jen bought her two Milani lipglosses, ANOTHER buy 1 Milani lip product get 1 free coupon printed out on her receipt! So she ended up buying two MORE lipglosses, and her total for four lip glosses (including tax)? Just $8.96. That's just a little over the retail price of ONE of those glosses! Way to go, Jen!!

This is the first time I have ever heard of someone getting a coupon like this TWICE in one week, so it really gives me hope that it will happen for more of us! Fingers crossed, everyone!

Please share your experiences with this Milani coupon/sale in the comments. I would love to hear from you!

  4. Thanks for the shoutout btw.

    The $8.86 does include tax. :]

    But my word of advice is to make sure you pay attention to the price that rings up. The second time, the price for the two glosses initially rang up as $10 something, over double what it should be.

    Hope that helps!

  9. I wasn't so lucky with the Milani promotion. Blame it on the damn cashier!

    The coupon printed up on the CRT. I picked up other items along the way. The cashier looked at the coupon with confusion, but seemed to figure it out. I didn't check the receipt until I got home... BIG mistake! The cashier only took ONE dollar off with the Milani lip BOGO coupon. I think the coupon was clearly defined but maybe she just didn't get it.

    I will be making a pit stop into the store after work today for my much deserved adjustment.

  10. My CVS gave me a coupon (this was about 30 minutes ago) for $3 off a L'Oreal moisturizer and $1 off 3 bags of Gold Emblem candy. A few weeks ago when everyone was getting the Revlon coupons, my CVS' machine was out of paper. This isn't working out as well for me as others; maybe it will improve over the summer.

  11. Went on my lunchbreak and got the same coupons as "Jo".....it only let me scan once today. I walked out of the store empty handed today. :-(

  12. I received the milani coupon after I made a purchase of the soft soap body wash that is on sale for 2.99and gives you back $2, on monday. then went to use my coupons and bought another body wash and my milani lipsticks on tuesday. Gave my $2 coupon, plus the bogo 1/2 off, and it came to $11. Plus I got another $2 back coupon for buying another body wash! I left all confused as why it was still so much. Walked to my car and realized the cashier didn't do the BOGO on milani! Went back, the cashier returned the lipsticks only, re-scanned the lipsticks bogo 1/2 off came to 6.99 plus $2.49 then used my bogo coupon it took off the most expensive one at 6.99, then used my 2.00 off that I just got! came out to .49 plus tax!! so I got 2 lipsticks, and a body wash for $2.00!! Amazing. You've got to pay attention though or the cashiers mess up sometimes.

  13. Ladies, thank you so much for sharing your slot machine experiences with me! It helps SO much to know just how many of us are getting this coupon, and I am SO sorry that a lot of you seem to be coming up with everything BUT this coupon this week. That is such a bummer...I really wish they'd have more consistency from store to store. But please keep going back--you never know and one day you might just get it. Who knows, right? :)

  14. Dang! Well, I got the BOGO Milani lip coupon yesterday and used it. Didn't get another Milani coupon though. I will try again today if I get the chance. I bought the Milani 3D Glaze in Fashion Diva and a lipstick in Berry Rich. Layering the gloss over the lipstick make a very shiny, glittery effect :) I also bought 2 Revlon colorburst lipsticks in crimson and sienna. CVS has a BOGO 50% off sale of their colorburst lippies. I had 2 $3 off coupons! I paid, after 9% sale tax, $12.04, saving $19.99!!!

    The coupon I got at the bottom of the receipt was a $4 off a $20 purchase. This could be the perfect storm if I get another Milani coupon.

  15. Oh, I saw some Sally Hansen $1 tearpad coupons at one of my CVS's. Since the Xtreme Wear and the Hard as Nails polishes are already on sale for $2, the coupon brings the price down to a buck!!!! I will also use the coupons at Walgreens IF I see the new Salon polish collection (the one that has Hidden Treasure).

  16. thdogismine: Congrats on your Milani/Revlon haul!! Great job!! :) Also, are you sure those tearpads are for SH nail color? I've seen tearpads at several drugstores lately but they've ALL been for SH lip products only. If you have seen some for nail products, please please let me know where you found them. Thank honey!

  17. That's funny, I found $2 off SH tearpads for any of their pens like the color quick fast dry nail colro pen, nail art pen, or quick care pen.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yep, $1 off ANY SH nail color. I found them attached to a XTreme Color display, not the main XTreme display but one closer to the door of one of my CVS's. For a lack of a better term, a 'floater' display.
