Twitter is full of negative tweets from women about their beauty and body image. Dove wants to change that, and they believe the change starts at the individual level, one person at a time. They are encouraging women to tweet positive messages on Twitter to show how much better life can be when we Choose Beautiful together. Rite Aid has also partnered with Dove on this campaign by offering some savings on Dove products in their stores. Through September 26, 2015, you can earn 300 plenti points when you buy $12 worth of Dove products at Rite Aid. Here are some of the products included in this deal: Dove Sensitive Skin Personal Wash - A mild body wash formula that uses the brand's gentlest cleansers glycinate and DEFI, combined with NutriumMoisture technology. It is is hypoallergenic and provides softer, smoother skin after one shower. It is a #1 dermatologist recommended product. Dove Intensive Care Shampoo - With Keratin Repair Actives, it immediately repairs the hair surface, while progressively nourishing the core of each strand. Hair is reconstructed from within and is healthier, stronger, and more beautiful with every wash.

Dove Invisible Solid Original Clean - This deodorant glides on clear to provide 24-hour odor and wetness protection. It's formulated with Dove moisturizers to give you soft, smooth underarms and leave a light, clean scent.

He recently opened a package of deodorant that I had purchased months ago, and to his dismay, the formula had changed. The cap was a different color, but other than that, there was nothing to signal us that something was different. Unfortunately, the new formula wasn't as effective, and the scent was nowhere near as pleasant. I didn't think I'd have much luck, but I reached out to the manufacturer to see if the old formula was still available. I was informed that it was entirely discontinued. But, instead of just being shrugged off by an enormous manufacturer (whose name is not synonymous with "customer service"), I was offered a complete refund for my entire stock-up purchase, no questions asked. In the past, I probably would have thrown them right in the trash, but thanks to one quick email, we received our full purchase price back. I am donating the unopened containers to those less fortunate, and am now on a quest to find a new formula for my husband. It just goes to show that it never hurts to ask!  photo source :: Brigette's $52 Grocery Shopping Trip and Weekly Menu Plan for 6 After a nice long summer break, full of all kinds of traveling and family time, I am loving being back into a (slightly) more organized routine - which includes sticking with some sort of grocery budget and menu plan!
