ALTHOUGH in many parts of the UK, people are missing out on post-Christmas sale shopping in non-essential businesses, there are still bargains to be found in shops like Boots, Superdrug and Morrisons.
Yes that’s right, if you’re after for the very best beauty, hair and makeup bargains, look no further than your local pharmacy and supermarket.
People have been showing off massive bargain hauls on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, with many products reduced by more than half their original price.
An eagle-eyed shopper managed to bag a huge haul of bargain items from Superdrug, including two huge eyeshadow palettes, men’s grooming sets, beauty crackers and mini fragrances, all of which came to just £15.
Captioning the snap, she wrote: “Superdrug’s sale everything came up 2 £15.”
And she’s not the only one making the most of Superdrug’s sale – another lucky woman snapped a shot of nine gift sets from Revolution, Simple and Bristle&Smith for 49p each.
Not to be outdone, an Asda customer revealed she’d bought six Dove gift sets and another four from Nivea, with some nifty bath salts thrown in for good measure.
She said: “Lots of bargains in Asda today. The bath salts were 25p and the small Nivea sets were £1.20 and so were the Dove sets.”
Also raiding the shelves at Adsa, another shopper snapped up multiple gift sets from Nivea, Vaseline, Dove and Impulse, with their haul totalling just £36.22.
And someone else was thrilled to find a heated hair brush for £12.35, while an illuminating mirror perfect for applying tricky makeup looks was priced at £9.
Meanwhile, someone else shared a snap of her Bayliss & Harding gift sets she nabbed in Morrisons, explaining she is already making a start on next year’s Christmas shopping.
“£1.25 in Morrisons there still scanning at £5 comes off at end. That’s me started for next year,” she said.
Eyeshadow fans will be thrilled to hear there are plenty of palettes going cheap in the sales.
Posting on Facebook, a happy customer said: “Revolution Chocolate Vault set… Was £80 now £20 at Superdrug.”
In Boots, a customer spied big savings on perfumes.
She said: “Boots today selling perfumes as cheap as £4 odd.
“I got a 30ml bottle of ghost for £6.25. I think the dearest was £12.50. Not sure if all stores are doing the same but this was Scarborough, North Yorkshire.”
While there are some sales online, most people seem to find the best bargains in store.
In other news, people are showing off their Boxing Day bargains including a £65 Tu coat for just £1 & Pandora jewels down from £80 to £24.
And savvy shoppers show off their huge Asda kids’ clothing hauls as prices are slashed to 50p.
