L'Oreal Coupons!



Head over HERE to score some great L'Oreal coupons! I imagine that Rite Aid or Target will have a sale on them - so don't use them yet! (Or at least I hope they have a sale on them).

You can sort by "Personal Items" on the left side and score these coupons:
Save $0.75/1 L’Oreal Vive Pro Product
Save $2/1 EverPure shampoo, conditioner or treatment
Save $1/1 L’Oreal Skincare Product
Save $1/1 L’Oreal Lip Product
Save $1/1 L’Oreal Eye Product
Save $2/1 L’Oreal Makeup, Powder, Blush or Concealer Product

Yes! And don't forget - coupons should reset at the begining of the month - so print all of them off that you want now! The $1/2 for Keebler is great - use it at Price Chopper for Flipsides (Ryan loves them) - which are on sale for $2 right now, and since they double it, that means it's only $1 a box! Let's just say, I stocked up last night!!
