What is this all about?


Boots is doing Gillette Fusion razor gift sets for £3.75 in stores nationwide. The sets were originally £14.99, and include a razor, two blades and gel. The razor’s worth £9.80 alone, so this is a terrific bargain stocking filler.

How to grab one


Just go to boots and look for the Gillette Fusion Power Stealth Bathroom Tidy Gift Sets (you can view the set online, but do note the offer’s only in-store).

Some MoneySavers have reported that the sets aren’t marked down on the shelves, but if you take it to the till, it scans at £3.75.

The offer is definitely on though; the press office has confirmed it's running til Mon 26 Oct. Yet stocks are likely to vamoosh after this goes in the weekly email, so go quick.

Thanks to deeburwell for the top spot, this post has been added to give a full explanation

Default Boots - reduced Gillette set instore £3.75

In my local Boots today they had Gillette Fusion Power Stealth Bathroom Tidy Gift Sets reduced from £14.99 to £3.75 on the SEL. They were half price last week but have obviously been reduced further. Still £14.99 on .com. Contains a Fusion Power Stealth razor and 2 blades, and a Fusion Shave Gel 200ml. This was Edinburgh Straiton store.

Razor alone is £9.79 on .com - Bargain! HTHS.

Also mens products are all on 3 for 2.
Right guard 250ml are also BOGOF.
Priced at £2.45

Its hard to explain but because of both of these offers it works out you only have to pay for one.

I got my partner 4 different scents, at £2.45 )))
Was such a good deal.
