Free Toothbrushes, Shavers, Pens, and more!

Hope you all had a great weekend. I certainly did. I always wondered why certain liquid items come packaged with seals so they can't leak - unless the item is opened, or crushed/packaging broken. And other items come with simple covers - and can open and leak easily. Every time I purchase Dawn dishwashing soap, I have soap in my bags when I get home. This weekend the kids were playing with a SoftSoap hand soap. Somehow they got into my stash of soap in a box, and they had lots of fun emptying the box. Well a couple of bangs with the soap into the floor - and covers snapped, soap leaked, etc. It was a mess. Its hard to clean soap off of wood floors! Or any floors for that matter. The kids are infatuated with bottles and covers and love opening stuff. Right now one of the only items I let them play with is sample sized Johnsons BabyLotion and Shampoo. Bc underneath the cover, there's a little seal. Even if they open it, which they do, they can't get the contents on them. And I know its dangerous - to be playing with little bottles and covers - so keep in mind that whenever they are playing with them - it is under adult supervision!  Anyway, this got me thinking. Of leaky shampoo. Leaky lotion. Leaky stuffs, in general! Companies should spend the extra few cents in placing seals under lids in items, like Ketchup - so they won't leak!

Well, back to the deals. I'm going to focus on Target right now. There are lots of good deals going on at the moment. Head over to Target.com and click on "Grocery Coupons" on the bottom of the site. You can usually print 2 of each coupon per computer. There is a $1 off of any 1 Bic Stationary Item - which will give you a free package of Bic pens. They have various 10 packs for $1. There is $1 off any colgate toothpaste or toothbrush - and there are 97 cent toothbrushes, so that's free brushes. For $1.99 I bought on ebay 20 coupons for $3 off any Schick Disposable Razor. With that I got 20 free Schick Quatro Razors. Theyr'e normally $6.49 a pkg of 3. They are ringing up as 5.49 now, and for every 2 you buy you get a free $5 Target Giftcard. So you are paying 10.98 for 2, and after the 2 $3 coupons its 4.98 - and you're getting back a $5 GC. Keep on doing that. Just make sure to purchase them in groups of 2. This deal is running until the end of the month so no need to purchase all 20 at once. Get a couple of razors, couple of pkg's of pens, and a few toothbrushes. Oh there's also $1 off of 1 post it note cube. Here's the coupon - https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B0zf2kcGxXwQMTY5NDU5ZDItMjQ0ZS00ZDc5LTk2MjEtNTNlNTJlYTg3NTdm&hl=en&pli=1

So pick up some $1 pkg's of post-it note pads.

There's always deals going on in Target. Make sure to review the available coupons on Target.com before you shop. You can match up a Target Coupon plus a Manufacturers Coupon on the same item. I purchased over 60 bottles of Scrubbing bubbles free that way. There were $5 manufacturers coupons in the newspaper, and $5 Target coupons, and the items were 8.99... so you do the math. Yes, sometimes you even make money.

Well that's it for today. One of these days I'll bring you some CVS deals!
