My mind is spinning thinking of the possibilities:
1) You can save this for a future 40% or 50% off sale at one of the drugstores (this coupon doesn't expire until 10/22 so we've got plenty of time)
2) You can use it during a future BOGOFREE or BOGO1/2OFF sale (there are none next week, sadly)
3) You can use it just to get $2 off the regular retail price of something you really want
4) My favorite option, but it only applies if you have a CVS in your area: use it to get something for free at the CVS beauty clearance sale!
For some of you this might be tricky because, at some CVS locations, the Beauty Sale has been going on for several weeks now and your sale items are probably pretty wiped out. But if you live in an area with several CVS locations, shop around because some stores have only started to sticker their clearance items within the last week or so! And if you're not a savvy Nouveau Cheap reader (hee hee), you'd never know that these products were on clearance for 75% off even without a sticker on them, so chances are the displays are still fully stocked! I hit up a CVS the other day here in San Diego and I had my pick of every brand that's on clearance. They literally had rows and rows of green 75% off stickered goodies (and they even had the 50% off Seche Vite top coats still in stock, if you can believe that!).
Here's the list of Rimmel products that have been confirmed to be on clearance (big thanks my amazing reader Shiori for itemizing all the CVS beauty clearance products with corresponding links to MUA reviews--if you haven't seen her full list it's amazing! Just click here and scroll down to the comments. She posted the list on May 19th):
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick - $1.32 (select shades)
Rimmel Lasting Finish Kiss&Stay lipgloss - $1.99 (select shades)
Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation - $1.82
Rimmel Volume flash mascara - $1.87
Rimmel Volume Mousse Mascara - $1.87
So as you can see, the 75% off clearance price, combined with the coupon, means you'll get your item FOR FREE.
Happy shopping!
PS: Before I forget, Sinful Colors nail polishes are $1 at Walgreens starting Sunday.
thanks for the coupon and thanks for the heads up on the sinful colors sale! i'm going to stock up on some more colors,lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's saying I already reached my print limit on that coupon :( Maybe I'll try back in a few days. Thanks for the update, though! I had forgotten to keep checking All You.
ReplyDeletei'm sad =[ i tried using the coupon to get the mouse mascara at the cvs clearance sale, but the cashier wouldnt let me. he said the item is already on sale, so i couldn't combine my coupon with it, especially since the product would end up basically free... =[ DUDE! but i still bought the mascara anyways, haha.
ReplyDeleteNiki: You are so welcome! I can't wait to see which polishes you get. :)
ReplyDeleteIn Her Makeup Bag: Oooh, that means you must have printed it already, right? Sorry!
wingsinheaven5: OK that is soooo frustrating! Long before I ever tried to combine a coupon with this clearance sale, I was told it's fine and that tons of people had done it without any issues whatsoever. But then I tried it once for some NYC polish and the cashier wouldn't let me. THEN, I saw comments here and on other blogs that people were using coupons w/ this sale and they had no problems at all! So I tried again, with a different product at a different location, and the cashier didn't even bat an eye. She just scanned it, no questions asked. So I guess it really depends on which store you go to. I've used coupons on clearance items at other stores (aside from CVS)and never been turned down. So strange! I'm sorry you couldn't use your coupon for that mascara! Do you like it? :)
I thought the $2 off Rimmel coupon was already available! I printed mine a month ago, along with the $1 off for NYC :O
ReplyDeleteAnyway... I printed another one xP I used my first one to get the Glam Eyes eyeshadow for $0.20 ;D
Can someone please help me? It lists the mascara as Rimmel Volume Flash mascara, but when I looked it up (and went to the CVS) there seem to be all kinds of Volume Flash, like Volume Flash instant, Volume Flash MAXX...which one does this apply to?
ReplyDeleteAnd also I can't find out what the mousse stuff is anywhere... and those links to the reviews don't work for me :(
Recessionista: I actually haven't even opened the mascara yet! I'm NEARLY done with my Covergirl Lashblast, so I feel really confident to finish it first before starting a new one. Maybe in a couple days? haha. That's been my latest obsession lately... trying to finish up things I already have. Not such an easy tasks when there are so many great products and deals out there!! =P
ReplyDeleteI'm having the same trouble as InHerMakeupBag. :[ I printed this coupon twice the last time it was on Allyou.com. But I did not get to print this time around. How odd.
ReplyDeleteok r, are the sinful colors on sale in your area? i looked in this week's flyer and i didn't see it advertised. usually they have the sinful colors sale advertised.
ReplyDeleteNiki Cheapskate- I'm having the same problem with Sinful Colors at my Walgreens. They're not on sale in my Walgreens ad or in the store :(. I wish they were on sale here!
ReplyDelete@in her makeup bag- thank you for responding. i thought it was just my area. maybe the promotion is only in certain stores? that blows because i was going to stock up on some more colors, lol.
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks for the coupon tip!
