After much contemplating if I should stock up on hair color, I decided to sift through my coupons one more time. Well, lucky me. I forgot that I had a Longs CVS store coupon (the kind that prints out at the end of your receipt) for $5 off $20 of hair care stuff. With the vidal sasson (totally expensive brand) of hair color on sale for $7.39, I decided to head down to the store and nab the sale before it ends tonight. I had $5 off one coupons from the sunday paper that can stack with that Longs coupon. How do you get store coupons? Get the Longs/CVS redcard. It's FREE.
My original total was $30.96.
My total after store and MQ was $5.95
I paid: $0
How? I had a gift card that we won at a party. If you break that down, it comes out to $1.49 a box.
Without the sale, the total for the four boxes of hair color with tax would've been $43.94.
Now I'm stocked up to wash that grey right outta my hair for a good 6 months!
P.S. Why only four boxes you may wonder. The coupon limit was 4 per shopping trip. I could have walked out and back in to get one more box, but without that extra store coupon, it would've made that 5th box of hair color $2.39. After paying $1.49, it's hard to go back in to spend over $1 more on another box. I'm happy with my four.
