FYI-The ad states that the limit for the Fusion and Embrace razors at $7.99 to get 4 ECB is 1. I bought 2 today and received 8 ECB and my receipt doesn’t say that I’ve reached my limit, so I’m not sure what the limit is…great way to get some free razors if you have the $4 coupons.

This is amazing! I’m new to ‘couponing’ and it sounds like I could learn alot from you. Thanks so much!
Thanks Heather! Be sure to check out the FAQ section at the top. In there I link to my CVS 101 and Coupon Basics for Newbies posts. Those will really get you on the right track!
Have you purchased the CVS “green” paper towels before? I was so excited the first time that I purchased them. We are trying to live greener and this seemed perfect. The paper towels fall apart and I would end up using twice as many! That is not very green. Maybe this is one of those products that will improve in the future, it is a great idea. Until then, I purchase the regular paper towels and use less.

Amy – we usually use cloth around here, but I do pick these up on occasion. They are thin, but I’m still able to limit my use of them. If you really want to be green, try out cloth! It rocks!
Nice shopping trip!
