I got a $3 off $10 cosmetic purchase today from the machine and asked if it could be applied towards Burts Bees and the mngr said "absolutelty". WOO HOO!! Had a $5 ECB plus my $3 Q and got the Burts Bee's Spot Treatment ($9.99) and after taxes only paid $2 and change!! YIPPEE!! I am new to CVS as we just got one in my town a couple of months ago, but I am really loving them lately... Just had to share my excitement.

I love Burt's Bees... The chapstick is one of the things I ask for every birthday and Christmas cause it's not terribly expensive but I'm always happy to get it. :-) Congrats on your deal!

I'm new and I hope this is appropriate for me to ask, but if the deal is $3 off $10 cosmetic how does a product that is 9.99 qualify? Is it because they are including tax? Thank you.

A lot of times you will find that at CVS close is good enough. Stores coupons are usually taken if the amount is within a few cents. You will also find that your Ecb's will usually print when you are close to the amount also.

One of the many, many reasons I love CVS. "Close enough" can be pretty loose, too

I could be wrong, but I always thought cosmetics and skin care are two different area, and the only thing from Burt's Bees that I can remember CVS carries that can be called cosmetic is probably the tinted lip gloss?? my stores here would have interpreted it this way anyway.

I specifically asked a manager, just to make sure, and she said it does apply, "absolutly". She said it applies to all Burts Bees items. I also figured that if it didn't the Q would be rejected at the register and it took it right off without any probs. Happy day all!!

Glad your manager is so coupon friendly! There is also another discussion thread on this very vague 3/10 cosmetics crt. cashier and i had mini arguement

I always feel our stores here are run with a "split personality"-- the managers are generally very coupon friendly, but the cashiers, esp. 45+ females (sorry about the profiling, but can't help it since it's so obvious!) look at every coupon with a magnifying glass, even those ones that work there since forever. Guess they really intend to work there forever, so they are extra careful in taking coupons. I do not want to go to the managers every time there's a slight dispute, so I always expect the worst when planning my transactions. I try to avoid these types of cashiers as much as possible, but my schedule means an encounter with them is almost inevitable...

On the side of the friendly managers: my 24hr beauty manager will go to all length to tape any possible coupons out there (inserts, IP, cvs Q.. anything) to the products. So I know there's a $2 MQ (from tear pads) for the Burt's Bees Acne Solutions, and it includes the Targeted Spot Treatment. It doesn't expire until 12/31/11. It doesn't hurt to ask your beauty manager if they have any if you're interested in getting this.
