Shave a Few Bucks off The Price Please

Yet another reason I love Sheila's blog - she posts the best deals!  I haven't had a chance to keep up with Slick Deals this week, so its great to check in with her blog to find the best stuff.  Here's what I got at CVS today -

• Gillette Fusion Cartridges (4 ct) $15.49, used $2 cartridges CRT (got this last week)
• Gillette ProGlide Razor $9.99, used FREE razor coupon (WYB cartridges, 6/3 P&G, cashier took off $10.99), got back $4 EB (Limit 1)
• Gillette Fusion Shave Prep $2.49, used $1 coupon (6/3 P&G) - thought this was around $5
• pur-Absorb Supplement $15.99 (raincheck price), got back $16 EB (raincheck) = FREE 
• Nexxus Shampoo $3.59, used $3 Nexxus CRT (off sham/cond) = $0.59
• Plastic Bin $1
• Used $4/$20 coupon, $10/$30 Gillette CRT (this went thru even though I didn't spend $30) and $15 EB, total was $4.99, final cost for everything (including tax) = FREE!

I bought the pur-Absorb, Nexxus and plastic bin so that I'd have an additional $20 in purchases above and beyond the $30 Gillette stuff.  Last week when I tried to use a $4/$20 along with a coupon that required an additional $10 purchase, it beeped.  I guess when you use these kind of coupons in combination, you have to spend enough to satisfy both - is that right?  I haven't had any X off X coupons in so long, I've forgotten the rules!

If I hadn't purchased the non-Gillette stuff, it would have cost me about $5 (before tax) and then after the $4 EB for the razor - about $1.  You can't beat that!  Da boyfriend loves Gillette and the deals on them have become pretty scarce.

I had to scan my CVS card three times before I got the $10/$30 Gillette CRT so don't give up.  I got a great bunch of CRT's - $4 off $20 beauty purchase, $2 off two Tresemme hair care (use on the trial size bottles at $0.99 each, I couldn't find any at this store), $3 off $10 CVS brand purchase, $7 off Physician's Formula makeup and $15 off Physician's Formula skincare.  What a great haul!
