Saving money on a variety of colognes
I have just discovered an excellent way to completely eliminate your cologne or perfume expense while smelling new and fresh every day. I recently received a Maxim (men’s magazine) in the mail. I don’t remember exactly why, but I know it was free. I vaguely remember buying something online a while ago and ticking a box that said “Yes, I would like a free one year subscription to Maxim”.
Anyway, I was thumbing through the Maxim when I noticed it in the mail, and one thing that stood out immediately when I picked it up was the strong odor of cologne. I realized it is because there are a ton of cologne ads causing it to smell very strongly.
I realized that I am going to get a free issue of Maxim each month, each with probably 8-10 different cologne samples in them. I only use cologne on the weekends (if at all), so I figured this was more than enough to fufil my cologne demand - without a penny out of my pocket!
There were 8 in this month’s issue. I spent a minute to cut them out, so now I just have 8 strips of cologne. The beauty of this is that if I don’t like the smell of one, it will be the only time that I use it!
I was looking at some of the prices for these tiny bottles of cologne… $125?!?! are you kidding? I’ll just stick to the free samples, thanks.
