    I guess it depends on your hair type??
    I know there are a few John Frieda items (emergency conditioning spray/shape and shine hair spray/curl revive mousse) that you end up paying under £1 for.
    And the Lee Stafford shampoos work out at 99p.
    I havent found any bargain Mark Hill items yet....but I am working on it!!
    Toni & Guy are a bit pricey...but I dont like their odd silver squashy packaging anyway (they look like kids mini drink sachets...whats that all about??)...so I dont care :p
    2008 gig list... Nickelback + Staind (OMG...Staind ROCKED!!), Roger Waters, Infadels, Pendulum, The Police, K T Tunstall, Breed 77, Biffy Clyro....oh, and Motorhead :D

    I don't know about your store (or whether our store had just marked them up wrong?!! All the other Mark Hill conditioners are £5.49), but I found some 250ml bottles of Mark Hill volumizing moisturizing conditioner on Monday (light blue lid & writing and white conditioner) - for £1.83 each :eek: :j :j :j So I got 4 bottles of conditioner for 33p each by using 2 of my £3 vouchers .... funnily enough there were none left when I went to Boots yesterday :rolleyes: - either everyone's snapped them up or the SA'a have removed them from the shelves. But look out for these!

    Free with a £5 spend on any items at Boots...they should give you a voucher at the checkout. ;)

    OR...buy some off Ebay for about £1.30 for a £5 No 7 voucher and a £3 haircare voucher. (that way you dont have to spend £5 at Boots if there is nothing you want!)
