Want Fresh Breath?

I got my lip pierced three years ago, and I became a slave to Listerine. Every time I ate or drank anything, I had to rinse my mouth with Listerine. Every time I brushed, Listerine. Every time I kissed, well, he knew to use Listerine too.

My kip ring has been gone awhile, but my Listerine affection still remains. I have to buy the stuff when it's on sale, no matter that I have ten regular bottles, six bottles of Smart Rinse, and seven bottles of Agent Cool Blue taking up space. Listerine just reminds me of my lip ring.

It's on sale at Rite Aid this week, and I've made it this long without buying any. But now that it's a money maker, well, I can't resist.

Listerine is on sale for $4.99 this week. There's an in-ad coupon for $2 off, making it $2.99. I found a blinkie in a few supermarkets yesterday for $1 off, making it $1.99 each. That's good, but I said money maker.

This month, as part of the single check rebates, when you buy four, you get $10 back. After coupons, you can buy four for $7.96 and get back $10, so you're making $2.04. Yup, I need to make more room on my "brushing" shelf.
