Bargain Hunting in the sales
Today Boots started a 70% off sale.......
Luckily last night I spotted a post online that Boots were reducing all their sale items to 70% off. So of course as soon as I dropped the kids to school, I went off bargain hunting.
It was quite chaotic in the store, but no where near 'Black Friday' standards. The gift sets they sell are lovely and the reduced prices are amazing, so well worth a little extra queuing.
Of course with 5 kids to buy birthday presents for, my Mums birthday coming up, my friends birthday today, then of course its not long until Mothers Day, the list is endless. I also hate the panic of last minute shopping and I avoid paying full price for anything. So this year, I am more organised & quite enjoying the thrill of bagging a bargain......
So this little lot above came to...... £38.10 it originally costs £127 that's a massive £88.90 saving!
Included are- Hello Kitty, Little Miss Naughty, Minnie Mouse, Moshi Monster & Superman Perfume Sets all were £10 now £3 each. All include a bottle of perfume & other items such as shower gel or soap. I was most impressed with the Despicable Me set, my 4 year old Snowflake is a big Minion fan, but the majority of thing available are quite boyish. This set is very girly, containing a perfume & lip gloss, she will love it, reduced from £7 to £2.10. I also got a 3 pack of FCUK deodorant sprays, these were £10 now £3. My mum like Laimant perfume that too was reduced from £10 to £3 for a gift set. My 14 year old Baby uses Ted Baker deodorant spray, this in a set with shower gel was reduced from £8 to £2.40, so I picked up a couple of these. My mum is also a Royal Jelly fan, I got her a lovely large gift set, a bargain at £3.60, previously £12. She too likes Sanctuary products, this containing £12 worth of products in a beautiful reusable tin, was £10 now £3.
I am particularly impressed with the Paul Frank items which should have together cost £20 but are now £6. My 9 year old Princess is a big Paul Frank fan.
I also bought this Katy Perry perfume set for my friend whose birthday is today. She is a big perfume fan and owns nearly every perfume I can think of. Despite not being a Katy Perry fan this perfume has a very unique shape and a beautiful smell, so hopefully she will love it. It was £23.50, now £7.05.
Its well worth setting a cupboard aside for 'birthday bargains', you really do end up saving a fortune in the long run. It's great when your kids have a birthday party to go to, or teachers gifts at the end of the year, or even when you forget someone's birthday. For my own children I have a set budget for presents, so by getting items in the sale, they obviously end up with a lot more than if I had paid full price.
From now on, whenever I spot a bargain or know a sale is coming up I will post it on my blog for my readers to get in on the action too.
This 70% Boots sale tends to be roughly the same time each January, it is online too at....
If you are buying online remember its free to 'click & collect', also remember to use your advantage card to earn extra points. I save my points over the year and use them for a bit of free Christmas shopping, but there are loads of ways to spend them. If you don't have one, sign up here, it's saved me a fortune over the years....
Happy bargain hunting and keep an eye on future posts for more good offers I find.
