Tomorrow is one of those Saturday Beauty Days that Wags cosmetics people periodically hold. The Beauty Advisors get extra PMs (commissions) on things like Dove and Snickers…which pretty much explains this picture.   Using the 7/31 RP BOGO coupons, it works out like this:  Buy four deodorants for $15.  Use the buy one woman’s deodorant and get one men’s deodorant for FREE which subtracts $8.98 ($4.49 x 2) and brings you down to $6.02 plus high tax.  I threw in the two Snickers because:  1) I needed two fillers to use either the $3 Pert or Revlon RRS and 2) I LIKE SNICKERS, okay Ms. Nosey-Posey?  Ended up at $2.16 with $1.16 being the high tax.  Thank you Pat Quinn.

The reason I bring this up is two-fold:  When you hand over the deodorants, the men’s MUST be rung first.  Otherwise the crazy registers will show $4.49, $4.49, $4.49 and $1.53.  Stupid, right?  By running the two men’s first, that’s what the cashier will subtract from your subtotal.  Next point I want to make is that this is a great way to gain support from your local Wag’s BAs.  If you are buying sufficient quantity of the items generating PMs, they will have to start showing you respect – it’s cash put directly into their pockets.  You don’t get to be Senior Beauty Advisor if you’re not lean and hungry (or at least hungry).  Give ’em a few of your extra coupons.  It’s like a garden:  plant the seeds and water them with cash – don’t smother them in manure.
