CVS - L'oreal Shampoo and My Husband the Doofus
Posted 07-08-2008 at 12:36:25 PM by Kyrthira
I checked the CVS forum and stratusxp posted an awesome deal -- on 20-27 July, CVS has L'orel Vive Pro Shampoo/conditioner on sale as a BOGO deal. What she so helpfully pointed out is that the 13 July inserts have a coupon for BOGO!! FREE SHAMPOO! I'm going to be stuck in Montana for this deal, which kinda sucks but I can work with that.
Related: My husband thinks this whole idea is a little silly. He doesn't always say as much, but that's what he's thinking. The buying of multiple papers, and ESPECIALLY the stockpiling. He just doesn't understand the idea, and thinks having twenty bottles of shampoo and conditioner is a bit ridiculous, even if we effectively don't have to pay for them. It frustrates the crap out of me.
The other problem (which I'm going to test out today, before I leave) is whether my CVS will do the BOGO as a 'half off each' sale, or ring up the first at full price and the second free. If I do this myself, I can argue the point of them ringing up as actual BOGO and not half off. If my husband does it, he won't know the difference and wouldn't want to argue the point.
Bearing these two things in mind, I'm actually hoping that CVS-T is out of stock of the shampoo and conditioner when he goes in. I'm going to ask him to get a raincheck for the BOGO, so that when I get back from Montana I can do it myself. I'll make sure to doublecheck the conditions of a raincheck (namely, is there a limit on quantity).
My goal is to get around ten papers, and do my first real stockpiling, whether my husband likes it or not! This will be a bit more difficult if I don't like the conditioner -- I prefer my conditioner to be rather thick, not watery like some of the cheap stuff. Beggars can't be choosers, I know, and free is free, but if I'm going to be stuck with the stuff for a year I'd like to make sure I'll actually sort of enjoy it, right?
