Savings Garden

a little of this and a little of that and a whole lot of savings.

Note to Self 3/31/2009

Don't push the little black button on the bottom of the Skintimate Shaving Cream bottle.

Baby girl was holding the bottle of shave gel. As I was checking out, I noticed that she was very interested in the bottom of the can and with further inspection I noticed there was shave gel on the bottom of the can.

I picked up the can to inspect where the gel had come from and pushed the little black button. To my surprise, shave cream came shooting out and sprayed all over my face and hair! I startled the clerk with my shriek and as we both began to laugh she graciously gave me a paper towel from behind the counter.

In the end I came away with 6 Mentos gums and a bottle of shaving cream for $.70 out of pocket including tax. I used the $2 RR I earned from the chapstick, 6 $1/1 Mentos MQs (there are two in each 3/1 SS) and my gift card to pay so no actual money from my pocket. I got back a $3 RR for the shaving cream so I made $.30 on the deal.

Not using coupons and the sale I would have paid almost $13 for gum and shaving cream, items I use!
