My brother has been asking me for razor deals for weeks. I had grabbed a free set of razors at Wal-Mart last week, but they were the cheap disposable ones and only lasted two shaves for him.
This week, I was ecstatic to see the Schick Hydro on sale at Rite Aid and a few other stores. I sat down and tried to pick the best combination - do I go to CVS and buy one with the $4 coupon I had in the newspaper (last week or week before???) and then use the $4 ECB on the next transaction with the $3 coupon from Facebook? Do I go to Rite Aid where it's BOGO free and I can buy both in one transaction? Do I check out the price at Publix or Kroger next time I'm there?
Because I was picking up my brother at the Y, I settled on Rite Aid because it was on our way to Wal-Mart. They had the Schick Hydro 3 for $8.99 and BOGO free. Next to it was the Schick Hydro 5 for $9.99, also BOGO free. We debated it, and my brother preferred the 5 blade razor. So we took our selections to the counter, used our Rite Aid card, the $4 coupon from the paper and the $3 coupon from the Facebook page. We walked out of there for just over $3 for 2 razors!!!! 84% savings. Now, if we had selected the 3 blade version, we could have walked out of there for just over $1.
Great idea for Father's Day gifts or just a new razor for you.

Not bad for an amateur
My mom needed to buy a few things from Wal-Mart, so I quickly threw together a shopping list for Publix which is on the way home.
Here is what I bought:
Precise Cream (from the makers of Tylenol) - usually $7.99. On sale $4.99. Used $5 coupon. $0.01 money maker
Bayer Advanced 500 mg 20 ct - $2.99. Used Publix $2 off coupon and manufacturer's coupon $1.50 off - $0.50 money maker
Suave Shampoo and Conditioner - $2.19/each - used $0.50 off when you buy two, Publix doubled, total paid - $1.69 each
Suave Body Wash - $1.49/each. Used Buy One Get One Free coupon - $0.75/each
Yoplait Yogurt - on sale 20/$10. Bought 6 and used $0.40/6 (doubled = $0.80 off) - total paid $0.37 each
Fresh Express - $3.99 Buy One Get One Free - used $1.00 off - total paid $1.49/each
Listerine Total care - on sale $3.99. Used Publix $1.00 off and manufacturer's coupon $1.00 off. Total paid $1.99.
After taxes, paid $12.55 Total Savings $25.20. 66.8% savings (I think the cashier messed up one of the coupons because my math is off by $0.99....)
Oh well. Not bad for a last minute thrown together deal! I wouldn't have bought the shampoo but I'm completely out.
My mom did almost as good on her purchases with my help (and the BOGO deals for cereal at Publix). She paid $25 and saved $27.80 (52.6% savings). Not too shabby. :) She also stocked up on the Cinnamon Swirl bread by Pepperidge Farms and the Thomas english muffins (both BOGO and both have active coupons....$0.35/bread and $0.50 for the muffins...both doubled at Publix). She also had some Mrs. Dash in there that weren't a great price, but she needed them and with 2 $0.50/each that were doubled...not horrible.
Okay, now I'm rambling. Time to get some rest!
