Frugal Friday: Rock Bottom Prices Part 2

Last week, we talked about rock bottom prices on our most common food products. This week, we’re going to talk about some non-food items! The great thing about some of these products is one item could last your family for weeks, so it’s not as much of a necessity to stock up before another sale comes along. This makes getting bottom dollar for every day products that much easier!

Here are some examples of good sales on personal items:

• Shampoo/Conditioner: Under $1 for lower quality brands (VO5 or Suave) and $2-$2.50 for higher quality brands (Herbal Essence or Aussie)
• Body Wash: $3
• Bar Soap: $1 for 3 pack
• Deodorant: $2
• Toothpaste: $1
• Toothbrush: $1 for single pack, $2 for multipacks
• Floss: $1
• Mouthwash: $1.50-$2
• Toilet Paper: $.20 per roll
• Paper Towels: $.25 per roll
• Razors $5 for handles
• Shaving Cream: $1
• Shaving Gel: $1.50 

Most of your makeup is going to vary by brand, so I try to make sure it’s at least 50% off and I have a coupon before I buy something. This strategy also goes for specially soaps and beauty serums (think face cleanser, hair masks or moose). It needs to be at least 50% off of its regular price.

Prices are always subject to change, but this list is a good starting point. Of course, coupons always make that price a little better!
