I realize that clearance can vary greatly from one store to the next but yesterday, I made out like a bandit at the store where they had tons of cosmetics marked down.

Brands: Physicians Formula, Rimmel, Neutrogena, Almay, Wet n Wild, L'Oreal, Burts Bees. Also various shampoos (Tresemme, Pantene, Garnier, OGX), deodorants (Old Spice, Degree, Dove MenCare) and skincare (Garnier, CeraVe, etc.) products. I suspect some of them are being discontinued. The Pantene foam conditioners were $3. I had $2/1 MQs but as they weren't free, I didn't get them.

I'll do a breakdown of my trip.

4 Almay i Color All day wear powder eye shadow (4.97, reduced to 1.50)
@ $6, used 4 x $4/1 MQs any Almay cosmetics ($16) = ($10)

1 Rimmel Volume Accelerator Mascara (7.97 reduced to 4.00) used 1 $3/1 Rimmel eye ip = $1

1 Rimmel ScandalEyes Xtreme Mascara reduced to $2 (original price unknown)
used 1 x $3/1 ip = ($1)

3 x Burt's Bee's Lip Shimmer @ $2.50 (original price unknown) $7.50

3 x L'Oreal Colour Riche le Gloss @ $1.50 (originally somewhere around $9 at CVS) used 3 x $2/1 MQ L'Oreal Colour Riche Lip = ($1.50)

Other food items: 5 x Newman's Own Salad Dressing @ $2.98 = $14.90, used 5 x $1/1 MQ, = $9.90

1 x 15 oz Kikkoman Soy sauce (reduced because the label was torn ) @ $1.86, used 1 $0.55/1 MQ = 1.35

1 x 5 pound King Arthur Flour @ $3.49

Total after coupons applied and local sales tax = 12.91.
Got back $11.50 in ibotta ($5 for the Newman's Own @ $1/1, $6 for the Burts Bees @ $2/1, and $0.50 for the Kikkoman sauce).

The overage and the rebates made this a great trip with $1.41 total OOP for the lot. I love that WalMart allows for overage. I've been wanting to try the Rimmel mascara and Burt's bees lipsticks, and I've just lately been buying the L'Oreal lip gloss, as it's very nice. Of course, now that I like it they're probably getting rid of it.

I stopped by another WalMart today and they had similar clearance on the same brands, the prices weren't as great, but they were clearly closing out several lines and they were in the clearance section in the cosmetics area. Also, they seemed to be clearancing some alternative skin care lines, like the Petit Marseillaise lotion for half price, Jason products, some others I can't remember, and a number of the Kids shampoos from Suave and Dial.

Stopped by again yesterday and there were quite a few toothpastes on clearance in the $3 range, many sensitive (Colgate and Crest) varieties. I generally don't buy toothpaste unless it's free (spoiled by CVS) but in combo with a coupon, this may be a decent deal for those who need it.
