Recently, I had been lamenting the ability to get good deals on shaving cream. There never seem to be any really good sales to pair with coupons, so I rarely get a good price.

Until today. CVS is running an awesome ECB deal on Schick products: buy $20 in products and get $10 ECB. That includes the Edge shave gel, and the Skintimate shave gel AND cream shave, which are on sale for $2.19. Pair that with the awesome $1.50/1 and $1/1 cream shave coupons, and you have the makings of a great deal.

I sent Joe out around 7 a.m. thinking that would be early enough. I guess I was wrong. The CVS he went to was out of cream shave. We have two other CVS stores in town, but the employees at the store Joe hit were nice enough to let him use my cream shave coupons on the shave gel. Score!

Here’s my deal:
(10) Skintimate shave gels (there were plenty, so we didn’t clear the shelves), $2.19/each
Total: $21.90
Coupons: (8) $1.50/1 cream shave, (2) $1/1 cream shave
ECB: $6
Total OOP with tax: $3.08
Total remaining ECB: $10

That’s about a $7 profit!! It’s too bad this deal is limited to one per household!
