I read a rumor online that you should never buy toothbrushes or toothpaste at full price because you can almost always get some for free or next to free. Well, it's proving true so far. I've got a toothbrush and four tubes of Colgate in the "stash" that cost me about 2 bucks altogether. This upcoming week, I'm going to amp up my dental stash:

Next week at Wags there is a deal on Crest - 6.4 oz tubes for 1.99 - they have a $1 off IVC coupon. Most Wags all you have to do is have 1 of these IVC coupons and it takes $1 off each item of that kind that you buy - the one in Sturgis did - who by the way has an awesome cosmetics counter cashier! Heather :) - the one in Three Rivers, I'm not sure if it does it or not...anyhoo - doesn't matter, you can print off 10 of the coupons online. In the Gazette this past Sunday there was a PG insert with some awesome coupons - 3 of which are for Cres! One is get $1 off any Crest tube 4.1 oz + and the other is get a $1 off of 2. So - I went online and there are lots of people selling this particular coupon! In bunches of 10 or 20. So, I emailed the gal I bought the Fructis coupons from and asked her, since we live fairly close, if I could send her 2 bucks in cash and she could mail me 10 of the $1 off coupons. She agreed and by this time next week I'll have 10 of those babies, plus 3 of my own. That's 2.00 off a tube of toothpaste that's on sale for 1.99! I figure all I'll have to pay is .12 each for the tax. Ba dum dum. That's 12 tubes of toothpaste for 1.44 dude + 2.00 for the coupons + .42 for the stamp...comes out to be .32 cents a tube!...and I won't have to buy toothpaste for about 4 years, I'm thinking... Grace will be SEVEN by then and in the first grade! ha!

Now my big decision - do I bite the bullet and get them all at once...or spread it out...hmmm....

Go on do it...try it for yourself!...you know you want to!

Suggestion for a post soon: where can I get the best deal (coupons and such) on Halloween candy??? We always have an INSANE amount of trick-or-treaters since our village does 5PM-8PM with lots of police out and such, and I don't want to spend a fortune!
