What Can 75 cents Buy You?

Headed out to Walmart with an envelope full of soon to be expiring coupons. I really couldn't find any good deals that would really be worth buying the product for so I only picked up these two things. In the next couple days I'l raid my Sobey's and put my extra coupons with the products so people can use them up before they expire! With tax and recycling deposits the whole bill came to $0.75. Not too shabby.

Total: $0.75 with tax

Save-On Foods Deals of the Week July 11

While flipping through the Save-On Foods flyer this week, I noticed some pretty good sales. I usually don't go to Save-On as it's rather out of the way where I live so you know that the sales had to be real good for me to ask hubby dearest to take me there. I find they have such nice customer service! So much better than Superstore and Walmart.

Brandsampler Freebies

Thank you P&G! A couple days ago I had a very happy mail day. Came home to two different packages from my good friends at Proctor & Gamble. If you haven't signed up with their website yet, go NOW! Link is in the 'Coupon' tabs section. There was a special offer via facebook where if you 'liked' Olay's page you could send your friends who were having a summer birthday a special Olay 'gift'. To my surprise, they made it accessible to others who don't have a birthday in the summer and that's how I got mine. I really like the scrub, too! It smells nice, and makes your skin super smooth. My hubby was all over the razor when it came in so that's why I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it's nice packaging. It isn't one of those freebie-cheapie razors, either. It's the real deal with the vibrating button and all! Hubby was happy. I think I've gotten 4 razors from P&G for him for free so far. Yay! Razors are so darn expensive!

Walmart Savings July 10

Headed over to Walmart to see what I could find. Walmart didn't disappoint, although I couldn't find the Mach3 razor catridges with bonus packages *sad face*. Oh well, better luck next time. Get your coupon binders ready and head to Walmart to snatch these deals!

Total: $3.84 before tax

What I got:

Gillette Bodywash 250ml x3

Reg. Price: $2.00 x3= $6.00

Coupon: Save $5 WUB 3 (brandsaver.ca)

Final Price: $1.00 for 3, $0.33/each

Note: Hubby's favourite smelly bodywash to date. I was wondering if this was a good deal or if I should save my coupon for when the large sizes go on sale for $2.99 or so, but if you calculate how much you're paying per ml then this turns out to be a better deal then buying the regular sizes. For instance, if you buy 3 large size bodywashes at $2.99 each that's $8.97 -$5.00 coupon = $3.97 or $1.32 each. There's 473 ml in the big size bodywash so you're paying nearly $1.00 more for only 223 more ml's (250 ml= $0.33, 473 ml= $1.32). Make sense? Who knew math could be helpful?

Covergirl Clean Sensitive Skin Pressed Powder

Reg. Price: $7.97

Sale Price: $3.97

Coupon: -$2.00 (brandsaver.ca)

Final Price: $1.97

Note: So glad I saw this on sale! I'm running out of my Rimmel pressed powder and I'm forever missing the $3.99 sale at Shopper's drug mart for it (I refuse to pay more than that). Hopefully my skin likes this new make up for half the price.

Covergirl Wetslicks AmazeMint Lipgloss

Reg. Price: $5.97

Sale Price: $2.87

Coupon: -$2.00 (brandsaver.ca)

Final Price: $0.87
Note: This lipgloss is minty and yummy! Girls you know what I mean. It tastes good. :)

June Luxe Box

I received my June luxe box a couple weeks ago, a day after the postal strike ended. I was super happy it came fast! I thought this time I would show what I received and write a little review on the products I've used. Can't wait for next month's to come.

What was in it?

Dermalogica Shaving Cream & Daily Clean Scrub (for men)

Retail Value: $22 (Cream) & $33 (Scrub)

Review: N/A (hubby hasn't tried it yet)

Consonant Skincare Foaming Face Wash

Retail Value: $18

Review: I've used this a couple times now and I do think it's a really good product. It foams up nicely and gets all the 'grime' off easily. It has a very faint smell and does not sting at all. I'm so used to using cleansers that exfoliate I find myself using this to take my make up off and then using my other cleanser/scrub so I get that 'clean' feeling. I would not likely purchase the full size of this product.

Joico Colour Therapy Restorative Styling Oil

Retail Value: $26

Review: I really like this product! It smells really good and seems to help control the frizz and make my hair smoother. I use this product on the ends of my damp hair after a shower. I would definitely consider purchasing this product in the future.

Laura Mercier Eye Colour Full Size

Retail Value: $22

Review: I love this product! Love, love, love! This eyeshadow is amazing! I was really surprised they gave me a full size product. They must really like me or something :). The colour is called 'sandstone' and it is a gorgeous shimmery light tan colour. I absolutely love it. I'm very fair skinned so this colour suits me perfectly. I usually wear MAC eyeshadows and by the end of the day they crease horribly on my eyelid (even though I use MAC's prep +prime eyeshadow base), however this eyeshadow stays put all day! I can't believe it. Goodbye, MAC! Hello, Laura Mercier!
