It's All About the Razors!

To all my coupon friends, I wanted to pass along some information to you that I think you should take FULL advantage of. All of us shave - it's a mating ritual that will never die (lets all hope) and so as duty calls, we must on occasion, shave.

This mating ritual isn't JUST for women, but men too. A harry man isn't always a good thing. There is nothing quite as nice as a kiss from a freshly shaved face or a hairless back. (shudder - the thought, is too much).

So to celebrate the never ending need to shave, there are several GREAT razor deals going on right now that all of us should (please oh please) take advantage of.

The first is one you might have seen in a previous post.

Walgreens has the Schick Quarto 3 pack disposable razors on sale for $5.99 each
Buy Two = $11.98
Use: BOGO Coupon (10/19 SS)
Use: $3.00 off one coupon (Nov. ESC) - Will automatically ring up twice.
Total OOP: - $0.01

I also want to point out that you might want to pick up the Almay mascara this week at Walgreens.

Almay Mascara is on sale for $6.99 AND BOGO.
Buy TWO = $6.99
USE: (2) $1.00 off coupons (8/3, 9/14 or 10/12 SS)
Total OOP: $4.99
MIR: $6.99
Profit: $2.00!!

Food Lion has the Bic Soleil Razors and Cartridges on sale for $2.99.
Buy One = $2.99
Use: $3.00 off any Bic Soleil Razor or Cartridge coupon (11/2 SS)
Total OOP: -$0.01

So many SWEET deals all at ONE place!

Want this Knife Set? It's free with this coupon code! BHKITWOK (expiration Unknown)

Like this Holiday Quilt? It's free with this coupon code: BHCATTHROW
Like this Red Throw? It's FREE with coupon code: BHSUEDE2
UPDATE: THIS INITIAL DEAL IS NOT WORKING ANY LONGER - APPARENTLY the Imitation Suede Throw EXPIRED AT MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT! BUT HAVE NO FEAR - MRS HEATH IS HERE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU THREE MORE GREAT and SIMILAR DEALS!!

The First picture is of a 6 piece colored knife set and can be yours for FREE with any purchase! It's a $39.99 value yours for F-R-E-E! Just use the coupon code BHKITWOK (Note: I do not know when this coupon code expires)
The Second Picture is of a "Holiday Throw" and can be yours for FREE with any purchase! It's a $29.99 value yours for F-R-E-E! Just use coupon code BHCATTHROW (note: I do not know when this code expires)

The third picture is of a "So Soft Throw" blanket a $29.99 value and can be yours for F-R-E-E with coupon code BHSUEDE2 (note: this code is to expire on November 16)
There is also ONE MORE deal that is a MYSTERY item for FREE if you use coupon code: BHTRAVEL - I have reason to suspect that it's a 3 piece canvas travel set a $29.99 value - but am not 100% sure that is what it is. Are any of you willing to test the waters and try this deal out? (Coupon code expires 11/9)

I initially learned of the "expired" deal from the Coupon Geek who got the tip from The Thrifty Mama. But have since "tweaked" it so that it can work for all of you! (seeing as how their tip expired yesterday at midnight!)

Here is a list of items you can get for under $10 and STILL get either of these blankets or knife set for FREE! What a GREAT deal!

Set of 2 Chenille Pillow Covers - $4.99
Tater Mitts - $4.98

Hot Victoria Secret Deal!

Update: I've tried this along with a few of you, and can't seem to get the entire thing to work!! After researching this a bit further and calling Victoria Secret, Apparently the "sweater" part of the deal ended yesterday. The other two codes should work together but wont. BUT if you really need new bras and panty's then Here is how to get the BEST deal possible!


Purchase ANY 2 REGULAR PRICED bras (2/$40 and 2/$44 do not work) and get the panty mentioned in the blog below. Then enter the coupon code 25PTY. This will get you $25 off 2 bras and a free pair of panties. Then to make the deal even sweeter, add the coupon codes FA814857 which will snag you a free $50 messenger bag And also use coupon code FA813549 to get $10 off your next order.


So all in all you should be able to score 2 bras, 1 panty and 1 messenger bag for around $50.00...pretty good considering this is Victoria Secret!


Then if you're REALLY needing a few more bras...do the deal again, but instead of using the last coupon code FA813549 - use the new one that was emailed to you for using this coupon code the first time. Then you'll get 2 bras, 1 panty and another messenger bag for around $40!


Use the messenger bags as Christmas Gifts and then for your husbands gift put on your new duds with a bow on your head. Everyone wins this way!


My sister forgot to mention that she did this deal YESTERDAY when all three codes were working together. So...we'll make due with what we have and still score a GREAT deal.


- Mrs. Heath
I know this is a bit late for a post but I was just told about it NOW!!

With Christmas just around the corner why not spice things up a bit with a gift for that special someone in your life! Every guy loves lingerie and every girl loves a good deal, so why not combine the two?!

My sister told me about this amazing deal she found at $20 Challenge 4 Charity that Victoria Secret is doing. Get two sweaters, two bra's and a panty for less than $20!!

If this deal sounds like one you might be interested in click HERE and snag yours quick! I think this deal ends today!! (well some of it anyway). $20 Challenge 4 Charity does such a great job of explaining it that I dare not try myself!

So start shopping my frugal friends and let me know if it worked for you!
