I don't know what you should buy, but an electric razor sounds like a good idea!

Here's my silly issue: Daughter uses shaving foam for legs/underarms. (I am super cheap and have always just used soap to shave. I have tried to show her how to do that but she likes the foam.)

If there are every any good deals on that, can you peeps point it out to me? Or should I just buy it at Dollar Tree?
CVS has Gillette Foamy BOGO50. They are $4.19 each here, so that's $6.29. Get back $4 ecb. And if you have them, you can use ecbs. Wink

HI!! No help with deals, just wanted to say, that, I, too, use soap!!
FYI Skintimate is thick as hell. Clogs the razor, hard to rinse out. Haven't used it for many years but that was my experience then. ( when we had good deals on it) Its a thick Gel.
Ok, I'll admit it. I use soap, too. When CVS was getting rid of all of the covid stuff they put the large $7.99 Safeguard on clearance for 29 cents and they had like 100 of them so I'm set for life. I'm allergic to every shave cream or gel that I've tried but the Safeguard is ok. I'm probably not the best spokesman for Safeguard since I complained about nicking myself yesterday but I don't really have any complaints. CVS has $3 Cremo coupons at one of the stores that I went to and the shave gel is $9.99. They have a lot of different varieties. The Cremo body wash is $11.79 and I have a 4/18 body wash crt. I couldn't work out a scenario to where it was cheap enough (as part of the 10/30 deal) so I passed. It might be worth checking out clearance today. I saw a lot of 75% off tags but I don't know what they were for. Slippers are still @ 75%. The TH 3-packs are gone but they were only 25% here. I would've stocked up at 75%. I've bought them before and they aren't bad. I had one bad experience with TH but everything else has been good.

If you do Wags, there is 5k/$20 on schick/skintimate etc. You could make a can part of the deal.

otherwise, I feel like I see deals at CVS and Target from time to time

I feel great. I had a nice CVS run and did some fantastic mm deals but I'm going to take my meds now and in 5 minutes I'll be a basket case. I don't know why I'm freaking out so much over my high school reunion. I didn't go because of my heart condition (the stress would've killed me for sure) and I don't really know any of the people who were there. I took a look at the list of the people who passed away and it broke my heart. It's sad when more people I knew are on that list than at the event. I hated high school so I don't know why I care so much about the reunion.

RA is much more difficult for me so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. RA had an epic sale 3 weeks ago and I went crazy but now I'm paying the price with all of the stress. It's too much money to just lose again
RA is weird about returns, and too inconsistent for me to guess what would happen. To increase your chances of being happy with the outcome if you try that, I suggest just buying one expensive thing with no coupons. Have you thought of doing online orders, though? Wouldn't call myself a RA expert at all and even less so with online orders, but some thoughts from my little bit of experience with them plus what I've read.

Drawbacks are you can't use BC for tax online (10.1% here, so I sympathize!), can't get in on clearance deals, can't use your paper coupons, and even L2C coupons seem to screw things up. I've avoided L2C for online orders, but have heard that one is OK, but with more than one in an order, you don't get your BC without contacting CS. Also, they may count against your spend for spend $X, get $X. Not sure about that part.

There is a plus, though. Unlike in-store, you get spend credit for the free one for BOGOs! For spend $X, get $XBC and for BCC, too! Next week is $15BC/$50. Word is the following week, too, and $10BC/$40 7/2, and you can do those once each online, no code required. Online, it doesn't show you'll get that before you place your order, but if you make sure your subtotal is enough, you'll get it. If you have any birthday or anniversary codes, they can be used online. Has been tricky to get them to apply, but I've read that the secret is to wait to enter them until you get to the payment screen instead of trying to enter them on the order screen.

Look at finishing up your BCC. If anything is BOGO or BOGO50%, that may even work better online. In case you're not already aware, if you finish all $10, you get $70BC even if the individual amounts total less. patel7ravi7 has a nice list of monthly deals at https://docs.google.com/spreadshe...1594360784

At minimum, you could get overpriced but useful stuff to avoid just wasting your BC, but maybe you can even put together something good enough to scratch your shopping itch while staying safely at home.

Didn't notice it until after I posted, but that stray "$" could be confusing. Should be "if you finish all 10, you get $70BC."

I haven't been getting any good coupons from CVS lately. Not sure why. Thanks everybody for all the suggestions. I will look into all of them.

Glad to hear some of you use soap too. Daughter is 15 and son is 17 so anything they want to groom themselves is a good investment.

I have such a great RA. They are always so nice to me and put up with all of my mistakes. I'm not really an online person (as you can tell from my posts). I like to shop in the stores because it gets me out of the house.

I've always wondered how CVS decides what coupons to give people. You read on here about the great coupons some people get and wonder why don't I get that, too. I guess that it will always be a mystery. I'm really happy when the CVS coupon god smiles on me and try not to get too frustrated when she forgets about me.

Conditioner works well too. In case that would fly with your daughter, and you have some excess of that around.

That's good to know, and I have tons of extra conditioner, but no it won't fly with her. Has to be shaving foam/cream in an aerosol type can. I don't know where she got that in her head, because I don't think I've ever used it.

I have noticed that most of the CRTs they issue now a days are based on your purchase history in last 6 months or less for same product/brand or related product line.
