- Free Razor (up to $10.99) after MIR

1 Schick Hydro Shaving Cream

Grand Total: $10.85 out of pocket. I will receive $17.94 from MIRs giving me EARNINGS of $7.09! Not too shabby!

  3. The razors are one deal per card, so how did you use the extra bucks from the first razor to buy the second one?
