Clearance Finds at CVS

Hey fellow deal-hunters! You know that rush you get when you find an unexpected steal? That's exactly how I feel every time I hit up CVS for their clearance section. While the original post gave a peek into my awesome finds, I wanted to dive deeper into how you can replicate those savings and what to look out for. First off, patience is key. CVS clearance isn't always screaming at you from the front of the store. As mentioned, those yellow tags can be discreetly placed in the regular aisles. But don't limit yourself to just the main sections! I've found incredible deals lurking on end-caps, near the pharmacy, and especially in seasonal aisles right after a holiday has passed. Think Valentine's Day candy in March, or summer sun care in September – those are prime clearance hunting times! My recent haul, for instance, included some amazing hair care products that were a whopping 75% off! Imagine getting an extreme damage care shampoo, a blonde repair conditioner, a limited edition conditioner, and even a specialized glue remover for protective styles, all for a fraction of their original price. These weren't just random items; they were high-quality products I actually use. The trick is to keep an eye out for those yellow tags – sometimes they're small, but they hold the biggest secrets. Beyond just spotting the tags, your CVS app is your best friend. Seriously, before you even head to the store, check your digital coupons. You might have a percentage-off coupon for your entire order, or specific brand coupons that can stack with clearance prices. Always, always scan items in your app (or at the red price scanner) to confirm the price. Sometimes, a yellow tag might say 50% off, but the scanner reveals it's actually 75% off! It's like a mini treasure hunt. And let's not forget rebate apps! After I've paid, I scan my receipt with apps like Ibotta or Fetch Rewards. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten additional cash back on items I already bought on clearance. It’s like getting paid to shop! So, what else should you be looking for? Besides hair care, I often find fantastic deals on makeup, sometimes even high-end brands that are being discontinued or repackaged. Seasonal home decor, over-the-counter medications that are nearing an expiration date (but still perfectly good for months!), and even small electronics can pop up. My final piece of advice? Go often, but don't expect a huge haul every time. Clearance shopping is a marathon, not a sprint. The more often you browse, the better your chances of stumbling upon those incredible 75% off gems. Happy hunting, and don't forget to share your own amazing CVS clearance finds!
