I decided to stay up late tonight to test out a deal that looked promising. When I went to my CVS store earlier in the week I saw several Axe products on clearance for 50-75% off. There was an anti-dandruff shampoo by Axe that was on a 75% clearance for $1.57, and two varieties of deodorant on clearance for 50% off at $2.39.
Starting today (1/15), there is an Extra Care Bucks deal at CVS: Buy any three Axe Shampoo/Conditioner, Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant, Body Spray or Hair Styling Products to get a $4 Extra Bucks reward. Although there are not coupons for the shampoo right now, there were $1/1 Axe Deodorant coupons in the 1/8 RP newspaper insert.
So I decided to try the cheapest scenario, which was to buy three deodorants on clearance and use three $1/1 coupons from the 1/8 RP newspaper insert.
The verdict? It worked! Here’s what I did so you can attempt to copy me if you like:
THREE AXE TWIST DEODORANT (UPC: 0-79400-06159-1), on clearance $2.39
Used three $1/1 Axe Deodorant manufacturer coupons, 1/8 RP newspaper insert
Price at Register: $4.17, but received a $4 Extra Care Buck reward
NET PRICE FOR ALL: $0.17 (or six cents each!)
If you try the other varieties and find success or failure, please leave a comment to let others know
Also, on another note, I tried to buy an Almay product that matched the Almay ECB deal in this week’s ad. It was on clearance for 75% off, but it did not print the reward. It ended up costing me a whopping seven cents for an $8 mascara that my roommate likes, so no big deal.
This deal is gone, but you can grab some prints of current Printable Coupons, also you can read our amazing CVS Shopping Trip in our “Haul of Fame”, finally, you can head over to Amazon in search of Axe deals.
