That's a Sale I am Refusing

Saturday, October 24, 2009

The other day I went to CVS Pharmacy. I shop at CVS frequently and am an ExtraCare member so I am always looking for sales. Occasionally CVS provides excellent sales; however, when I was shopping for razor blades I noticed that CVS had a "sale" that actually LOST you money as opposed to save money.



As the picture shows the Gillette custom three sensitive razors were originally priced at 5.99; however, they were "priced up" at 6.49 for ExtraCare members. For those wondering, the bottom 5.00 portion simply says that if you purchase 15 dollars worth of Gillette razors, you get five dollars off, unfortunately this does not matter if you only purchase one or two packs of these razors. I am curious what the "preferred savings" part of the receipt would show up as for purchasers of these Gillette blades. That is an offer I certainly would not partake in.
