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.

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!
