Proctor and Gamble Instant Savings Event

Save $4 instantly when you buy any four participating products. Here are the products that are listed in the ad; there are likely more marked in the store.  All prices below are after the $4 discount for buying four items.

My apologies for the uncertainty of some of the ratings – I’m not that great with prices on P&G products, they tend to be a bit higher than most other brands.  If you’re brand loyal, there are probably some pretty good deals.  If you’re not brand-loyal, you’ll probably be able to find lower prices on other brands.

Use $0.75/1 Crest Toothpaste 4 oz+ 5/2/2010 P&G Insert (exp 5/31/2010)
