Here's another one. I'm sure there are many more, but I didn't have much time to look.

No coupons for the 4oz and 5 oz sizes, but still a nice deal.
CVS also has all their clearance, except candy, 75% off. (At least at mine and I heard one more did to, so your chances are good.)
Update: Christine says her store didn't have good clearance prices, so it's not everywhere yet, but will hit everyone soon. (Thanks, Christine!)
Don't just think red and green and ho, ho, ho! :) It's most off their stocking stuffers and gift type items
Some examples are:
Electronic Splitter $1.25 (Many other stocking stuffer were this price.)

And, there are a couple nice coupons we received today to work with the "Spend $30, Get $10 CVS Card" deal. You could try this scenario, but see the full match ups and be prepared to be flexible if they're out of something. Or, just tell them you need a raincheck on everything and try back again later.
If you have more than one of each coupon, you'll have more flexibility, but here's an idea to get to $30 (before coupons are deducted) to earn the $10 card.
Buy 1 Finish = $4 – $2.15 = $1.85
Buy 2 Planters = $6 – $1 = $5
Buy 2 Chocolate = $6 – $1.10 = $4.90
Buy 4 All = $12 – $4.50 – $7.50
Buy 1 Coke = $3.33
= $31.33 – $8.75 = $22.58 (Get back $10 CVS card) = Like Paying $12.58 for all that!
That's only ONE way to do it. Depending on your needs and # of coupons, you can tweak it better. Here are those details, in case you want to try to follow it. Again, there's more to choose from so see the full CVS list.

My store's clearance isn't that great. Many of the "gift" items are more expensive now than they were before Christmas. Also, I looked at the clearance Jergens today and I think one of those bottles are only 4 oz. so the coupon wouldn't have worked.
If you want the Finish deal, get to your store asap! The shelf was cleared today by 2 p.m. I got a rain check though. The asst manager told me to staple my receipt so I get the cash card later.
Thanks for pointing out the lotion coupon! I hate it when I do that. I deleted the coupon and changed the note. I guess that's the good thing about posting late and getting up in the wee hours of the morning . . . not many saw it yet. I sure need to sleep, but it's just not happening. I don't know if it's the steroid I'm on or the symptoms it's trying to cure. This has been miserable and it's best for me to be upright. So, maybe I'll get some work done now and hope for a nap tomorrow. :) Okay, tangent done . . .
I've found that CVS stores mark down at different times. I still can't believe a large bag of Hershey kisses another other chocolates are $3.49 at mine. Get rid of it! I even have a CVS coupon and a manf. coupon, but was to cheap to get them. Plus, well . . .it's chocolate. I need a VERY good reason to get any of that! :) Thanks for the notes!
Yeah, the candy price is perplexing. The asst manager said yesterday that the candy at my store will probably stay at 50% for awhile. They are a smaller store. It's just an incentive to not buy it, IMO — I didn't buy nearly as much candy this year as last year, because it wasn't as cheap, plus I still have candy from last year, when I first started couponing.
I hope you feel better!
I've been sick too. So haven't been out of the house for a week.
Another item toward the $30 might be the Bayer Contour A1C for $9.99 using that $7 mfg coupon if you printed it, get back $9..99 EB.
I need Listerine so will use a recent printable $2 off the adv $3.99 and get $2 EB back. Then roll that $2 with the $7 Bayer to pay 99¢ for the meter. (Plus tax of course) (Anybody know what they mean in the ad about "instant coupon" on the Listerine?
Yes, the magic coupon machine prints out a $2 coupon for the Listerine, so if you combine it with the $2 printable, it's free. PLUS, submit for Ibotta, if you have that offer.
I can't find a $2 printable, only $1 ones. Do you know where you got it from? Thanks for the ibotta reminder. I missed that one, but just added it to the list.
The $2 off Listerine was on coupons.com last week but I don't know if it's still there or not. I printed it then and held onto it.
Also, I was just thinking about posting on FB about some Ibotta issues I've noticed. My Mom and I are both using it and the receipts issue has been a pain. You cannot reuse an Ibotta receipt on two different accounts.
For example — she had offers that I didn't have. I submitted the receipt for one offer and she submitted it for a different offer. She got a nastygram from them threatening to close her account. I asked them about it on FB and they gave me a generic answer that essentially said they will not allow you to use the same receipt by two different users, even if you aren't submitting for the same offer.
It adds another layer of complexity to extreme couponing, IMO. I think it may be better to separate your transactions on the items you're submitting to Ibotta.
They lowered it to $1 now — glad to know I'm not missing it somewhere, though. Thanks!
I have been learning a few things about ibotta also. Feel free to put your experience on FB. When I post about it again, I'll add my new knowledge. I found out you can sign up after you buy something and still get paid for the item. (Someone asked and I told them to give it a try and it worked –though it was the same day still.) That's nice. And, I learned not to have a huge long receipt!! I took about 10 pictures of one at Fry's and something happened with my phone not being able to see the barcode and I had to start over. Then, I did it all again, but chose Giant Eagle instead of Fry's and didn't realize it until the end . .. can't change it. So, after about 30 pics, I got it submitted. So, yes . . . separating items is smart! Just be careful it it's part of another deal, like the Keebler or Kellogg's that are part off the Buy 5, Save $5 sale. But, 5 items is an acceptable receipt for me to submit. Lesson learned! There will probably be more coming, but so far it's worth the effort. Well, that 30 pic thing — maybe not!! :)
OK thanks! But we don't have Ibotta since we are so far behind technology.
