JusFrugal says
Hi Alyssa… you can make your deal on Kotex U even better… there is a $1/1 CVS printable coupon on their site that you can use in addition to the $1/1 coupon from All You. Since this is a month-long ECB deal on the Kotex I did this the other day with no problem at all.

I’m going to have to try linking up next week. I usually do all of my shopping at the end of the week, but this will help me get started earlier.
