Free Fekkai Shampoo

Recessionista doesn't skimp on her haircare products -- she's a Kiehl's an Redken gal all the way. But Recessionista cannot resist the siren song of free salon shampoo. On Thursday the 17th of September, Saks will give you a free full-size bottle of Fekkai shampoo provided you give them a full-size bottle of whatever crap you are currently using (bottle need not be full or empty). Recessionista will be tromping to Walgreen's for the cheapest Suave or generic whatever possible to exchange for the good stuff. You should, too.

Free Flu Shots

Recessionista was felled by the flu for the past two weeks, and can attest to its virulence. Please consider a vaccination, just $25 at Walgreens or free at CVS if you are unemployed or uninsured.

CVS is giving out free flu shots starting in October. You can call 1-888-FLU-SHOT to find the nearest location and time.

Walgreens has an offer where they are giving away free flu shot vouchers if you visit a Wellness Tour bus between September 17 and November 15. The offer’s a bit limited, however, as the bus tour schedule shows it’s only going to be in 17 states.
