Just a note, I don't think it's the type of glitch where it's subtracting $15 at the register. I scanned mine at the red machine and it read as Regular Price: $20.99 Clearance: $5.25. So whether intentionally or not, they're marked as clearance items in the system.

I've got another store or 2 I might try late this week if I can get to them.

That's why I suggested being curious about a recall or some other reason, so that it wouldnt seem like you are accusing the store of something.

If you cant find the items locally, I would be happy to pick some up and mail them out to you if you decide you really want to try them.

Thanks so much for the offer. I will let you know. I'm going to try to find them at the other 2 stores close by. I don't have a car right now, so it's a little bit more difficult to get around.

I don't know this for sure but I'm guessing that my store may be holding them for people who work there to buy.

If I got a $12 CRT today, I would purchase a "purple, ECB producing" item and then use my $15 ECB to get 3 more "blue" items.

I would have 4 items for $8.74 and would have $36.74 towards the beauty club.

Most stores just scan the CRT coupons and they tend to take off the full value listed, even if the item is less than that. So you could (likely) get $7 in overage. Are there $7.01 worth of other good deals that appeal to you this week? If so I would give that a try. You do run the risk of the cashier entering the coupon for the item value but that is very rare. If that happens you would lose the overage so there is a risk involved with doing it that way. But I want to stress that it is very, very unlikely that the cashier will adjust the coupon down. The only time I have had that happen is when I dont have enough other items to eat up all of the overage, then the coupon will beep and be marked down to the price of the item.

Unless you really want to try a bunch of these items. Then I would either buy 3 @ 4.99, use the CRT, pay $3 or buy one at 19.99, use the CRT, pay $7, get the $15 ECB and then buy 3 @ 4.99 each.

Gottcha, that stinks. Well, let me know if you need me to get any for you.

I bought a blue PF Hydrating Eye Cream on Sunday ... it was 4.82 & my receipt says 'Saved 14.47'. It was 75% off clearance from 19.29... tried the eye cream & love the product & it's something I will be using daily... :-)

Yay for you! I thought those $12 PF Skincare CRTs were long gone... hope I get one :-) Does the CRT say "up to $12 off"? If so, I would def get the purple anti-aging one if you find it & get the $15 ECB.

[aprilh0909]

The CVS in WashDC cleared their shelves of the blue ones, only purple left. BOO! There were lots at my regular CVS on Monday. Will attempt to return there to see if I can get any more. I feel like I am aging by the second and PF seems to keep the wrinkles at bay

[twogrneys]

I just bought some daily moisturizer and day/night cream.....blue bottles for $4.99. Its a great way for my mom to "use" her EBs that she has nothing to roll them onto...and good for me

[hdtracy]

I got the eye cream and moisturizer yesterday and love both already. My skin feels all velvety Which is a feat cause I have dry, sensitive skin. I plan to go back tonight for the night cream and maybe another moisturizer if theres any left!

[jackie1028]

Some people (in Cali) were reporting finding $6 peelies on some of the PF skincare... from what I read it's been found on the blue & purple bottles. There is supposedly a red line, too, it's for acne-prone skin... Not in Cali, but going to a different CVS later on to check it out. Was going to look for the purple anti-aging ones anyway. Thanks, kcl.

I picked up one of the blue ones last night and it rang up for $5.25. I asked the cashier if it qualified for the $15 ECB's, so he asked the manager. The manager read the ad, said that the only thing it excluded was clearance items, then he went back and checked the shelf tag and said that the shelf tag said 75% off SALE. He said sale was different than clearance and told the cashier to manually print the $15 ECB's because it was a sale item and not a clearance item. That was a bonus for me because I was not expecting the ECB's and was going to buy it anyway, but I figured it never hurts to ask!

Wow! That was some good luck that the tags read sale and that the manager was so agreeable. Our tags read clearance here. It's odd that they read differently elsewhere. I figured they would all be the same. Explains why some people are so confused.

[tagarza]

My store was wiped clean of all PF skincare except 2 bottles of purple/white eye cream. Since I didn't have any PF CRT's I skipped it. They rang up as $19.99.

wowza, lucky you! my store has them all the blue ones marked $19.99 with $15 extra bucks. No 75% off sale/clearance tags, this is why they were all pulled... they've decided they were priced wrong.

It's so crazy to me how different the management/rules are from store to store.

[aprilh0909]

There is still some at my store, but I opted out to do the Revlon face prod scenario of 2 $10.99 powders, x 2 $2/1 MQs and my $4/20 CRT. Paid $11.10 and got back 8.00...which I may use on PF! I HAVE ISSUES

[orchidss]

I just picked up a face cream and eye cream for 4.99 each. I am so jealous of those who got the $12 CRT's!

I know! I wonder if the crts you get are based on your purchase history?

[codin]

My closest store doesn't carry the skin care line so they were substituting any makeup item. I bought a mascara for $9.99 and they produced a $15 EB.
