so far this month is pretty good too!
almay cosmetics are advertised bogo 50% off, but in many stores they are ringing up bogo!
the almay pure blends is a great deal even if they are only ringing up bogo 50% off in your store! they would come out to $13.48 together (+ tax) and you get back $15 in rr. so you may want to try those first to test whether almay is ringing up bogo free or bogo 50% and then decide whether to get the one coat mascaras.
i was bit thrown off when the one coat mascaras i bought on the third transaction rang up $.50 less than the ones on the second transaction. (i couldn't use $9 in rr i was planning to use.) now i see that the "triple effect" mascaras in thinner tubes were $7.99 while the larger ones were $7.49.
