Are you
looking for a way to save money on hygiene items, such as razors, toilet paper
and makeup? If you are like many people, more of your budget is spent on
hygiene items than you would like. Here are some simple ways to save money on
the things you absolutely can't do without.
Decide What You Can Do Without
As any budget should operate, make sure you
have cut out anything frivolous. Make your shopping list then scratch out the
hygiene items you can live without. Then, adhere to the rules you've made.
Go For Longer Lasting Items
If you are using disposable razors, it
might be time to get a razor system. You will need to purchase replacement
blades on occasion, but the cost will be drastically less than buying
disposable razors on a normal basis.
Grooming
kits such as those with The Art of Shaving are also
excellent investments. These will last a lot longer than disposables, plus you
get much more functionality with options for trimming facial hair, stubble,
nose hair and even ear hair.
Buy in Bulk
Hygiene items such as toothpaste, shaving
cream and toilet paper can be bought in bulk at club stores. A more affordable
and convenient way to buy hygiene items in bulk is online through sites like
Amazon.com. Buying in bulk cuts the final cost per unit, gives less packaging
waste and reduces fuel consumption by eliminating an extra trip to the store down
the line.
Be a Loyal Customer
Does your grocery store offer a loyalty
card? If so, signing up for one can help you save money. Check your store's
website to learn more.
Coupon
Thanks to technology, couponing has become
simple and efficient. You can still use the Sunday paper's coupon inserts, but
if your favorite store offers digital coupons, you can get those same deals
applied to your loyalty card. Keep an eye out for buy one get one free deals on
hygiene items such as mouthwash, body wash, shampoo, conditioner and
deodorant.
Look for Your Store's Weekly Ad
More often than not, your store's weekly ad
will have great deals on hygiene items. Stretch your dollar further by matching
coupons to the current sales.
Shop Around
Not all stores are created equal, and deals
change every week when weekly ads are published. Check pharmacy type stores,
such as CVS, for some of the best deals on hygiene items.
