This week there are a few more deals that will make my Hubs happy! We got two Gillette Phenom razors last week, and I'm glad to see that they're in the ad again this week. Those are the only razors he likes, and the refills are expensive, so getting them free means a few more blades stocked up. (note: if you want them for the blades only, get the manual razors rather than the power ones. The manuals come with 3 blades, the powers only come with 2!).
Also, Nivea shave gel this week, so we'll be stocked up on his shaving needs for quite a while!

Other things I'm excited about this week: Revlon eyeshadow , Dove shampoo and conditioner, and hopefully the BeFine moneymaker!
