So I received a great email tip from Reader Kathleen this morning.
At CVS, the hair color ranged from full price to 75% off depending on the store- all the same shade! I could have gotten Nice and Easy for free, but I went with the Natural Instincts MM to offset my OOP for previous transactions. The store I purchased at had them marked at 75%, but they only range up at 50% off.
Here is the deal that Kathleen did:
Clairol Natural Instincts $2.25
$1/1 Clairol Natural Instincts in 1/1 P&G
$1.25 after coupon
Got Back $2.00
Free + overage after ECB
Did you find any clearanced hair color?
Thanks, Kathleen

I did the 3 Clairol Natural Instincts marked at $2.24 each, with a $2 coupon per item, and got back a $6 ECB. I also picked up 3 John Freida Coloring Foam marked at $3.24, and used $3 coupons on each. Soooo….$1.44 for all 6 plus $6 in ECB. And I figured, I need it, since the grays seem to be exponentially increasing by the day. :-) I was thrilled since all of the boxes I got were about the same shade.

How many EBs offers can you get per card?

@ Jennifer- OH MY! I don’t know how I would have reacted to that. lol so glad it worked out for you in the end!
Kathleen says
I was pretty excited, glad to share with others. I saw some L’oreal clearance at my stores as well, but not marked down that low, and I didn’t have any $5/2 coupons with me. I’m still learning. :)
Kathleen says
On a second read- I don’t know if I was clear in my email earlier, but I meant the same shade of hair color ranged from full price to 75% clearance depending on the store. There’s TONS of different brands and shades on varying degrees of clearance to choose from at the stores I’ve been to recently. :) Happy shopping, thanks for your blog.

The cashier wasn’t happy that was for sure, she tired telling me I couldn’t use coupons on clearence then accused me of “being one of those trashy extreme couponers” her words not mine. When the manager came over it all worked great and i did both loreal and clariol.
Kathleen says
um, wow.

Call the coporate office and report her! You dont have to take that kind of ignorant behavior from anyone

The haircolor clearance started on 1/7 and it is awesome. The John Frieda is also on clearance. It is a seasonal clearance, every year the packaging is changed on certain colors and the haircolor is marked down to make room for the new packaging.
There is also a great deal on the Christmas Essence of Beauty items which are 75% and if you use the coupon in the CVS Magazine, $2.00 off 2, you can get them for less than 1.00 for a gift set. I shop every single day so I see these deals every morning. Couponing takes a lot of hard work and the best deals are the ones that are not advertised so keep an eye open for clearance and always bring your coupons with you to the store . Usually by the time, the deals is posted on the blogging sites, the stuff is mostly gone so keep an eye open when you go shopping.

I just Left MY CVS and they had ALL kinds on Clearance. I got 9 boxes of Hair color, (5 Clairol & 4 LoReal)… I paid $8.00 including Tax and I got back $6 in ECB. Cost was $2.00 for 9 boxes. I have 3 teenage girls and they are gonna love me =) The cashier wasnt too happy I snatched up such a great deal. She had just started marking them down. There was pletny left on the shelves.

Can I use the $3/15 beauty purchase coupon I received in the email? Thanks
Raeanne says
Yes, I was super excited, I found some or 2.59 I had a 2 dollar off coupon and I got 2 in extra care bucks…… So exciting.
sue says
Please share with us what’s the deal and where you found the coupons. Thanks
jen says
They are regionally clearanced for as much as 75% off. That makes most boxes around $2 and change. There was a $2/1 any and a $5/2 any loreal hair color in the 1/1/12 RP. Also, there was a $3/1 preference ONLY in the 1/8 RP. I found some at my local CVS today for 2.49, free after $5/2 (adjusted down to value before taxes) and they counted toward the spend $25. This deal is a great way for CVS to move their clearance, hahaha

Ooh I was just going to post a picture. There’s a L’Oreal hair color MM$. Tons of clearance use your $5/2 from 1/1 RP. I got 10 boxes, paid tax, and earned $10 ECB. Buy $25 L’Oreal hair color, get $10 back this week at CVS.
crystal says
I went to my CVS this morning and got all Loreal hair color for 75% off. I used 2.00 off coupons and 2 for $5.00 coupons. Spent 3.00 out of pocket and got 10.00 xtra bucks. It said not on clearance items but it worked!
