- Buy Fusion Razor get Gillette Shampoo free
Total $7.99. Earn $4 and $3 ECBs.
The razor and shampoo deal you're thinking about becomes a great moneymaker deal if you have the $4 off gillette fusion razor coupon from (I think) a December P&G coupon insert. It is worth looking for! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you asked about that, BusyMom! (And thanks for popping over to my blog!)
ReplyDeleteI discussed that one in depth with my husband, because I had the same initial reaction that you did - aren't the coupons both being used on the razor? Well, no. A coupon gives you a certain amount of money off a certain product. In the case of the razor and shampoo, the $4 off comes off the razor (obviously) and the $4.99 (free product amount) comes off the shampoo. The coupon for free shampoo requires that you buy a razor (which you do), but the discount comes off the shampoo. The coupon for the razor simply discounts the razor. Does that sort of make sense?
I will say that I haven't actually done this deal yet. And if they have a problem with it at the store I probably won't argue with them too much, just because it IS a bit confusing. :)
