Cosmeceutical?

CVS

  • Physician's Formula Youthful Wear Cosmeceutical (is that really a word?!?) Youth-Boosting Foundation + Brush $15.99, used $4 peelie coupon, got back $7 EB (WYB $10, Limit 1) and will send away for $14.95 TMF rebate = $9.96 profit
  • 4 Skintimate Shaving Creams $3.99 each (reg price), used four $0.55 coupons (1/15 SS) and got back $4 EB for each (Limit 100!) = $2.24 profit
  • Used $1 EB, total was $26.92 - ouch!
Separately, I bought another PF foundation and some Schick Hydro Shaving Gel for $4.49 each.  The Schick is also producing EB's.  DBF is very low on shaving cream, so I didn't mind paying about $0.50 a can for these.  The profit from the PF more than cancelled out the cost of the shaving cream.


A couple of things to note with these deals.  The Skintimate/Schick deal is quite possibly an error in the system that could be pulled/changed at any point.  So if you want some, go quickly!  The Schick Hydro Moisturizing variety is NOT producing EB's.  Neither are the Skintimates in the plastic can.  Other than that, it seems like all varieties are working.


Also, it seems that these PF cosmetics aren't in all stores yet.  I've only seen them in one so far, so don't be upset if you can't find them.  There are sure to be tons more deals throughout the year.

I can never never never find the try me free peelies on the physicians formula. One time- I found lots of packages where the peelie USED to be. Someone came along and swiped them all!!! Someday I WILL find one- I'll just keep waiting : )
