Head over to Gillette Venus' Facebook Page and "Like" them. According to their event found HERE, they will be making a first-ever global announcement at 8AM ET. It also says all fans will receive access to Venus exclusives. I have no idea what it may be, but it could mean free razors, great coupons, or something totally different.

My CVS Trip Today - 91% Savings!
My little helper was with me today for this CVS trip, and wanted to be in the picture, so here she is with our haul from CVS today! She clips coupons just like daddy and has her own folder for them.....daddy's little girl! For 4 years old, she does a great job and clips them neater than I do!
Now on to today's CVS trip: I spent $7.83 out of pocket for everything you see in the picture and had $5.00 in ExtraCare Bucks left over from my last transaction to use next time! Also included in the amount I spent was $1.00 for some mixed nuts that I donated to send to troops overseas. Our local CVS is getting this together and sending to the troops, so I felt as if that was a very small token of my appreciation and the least I could do. Hats off to those serving this country. I SALUTE YOU!

Update: This is no longer available.
Head over to Stride's Facebook Page where you can get a free pack of Stride 2.0 gum. The first time I hit "Like", nothing happened so I clicked it again. It then told me "You are already connected", so I closed the window and then opened Stride's Facebook page again and it worked just fine.
