    Tesco had suncream on at half price, as did Morrisons I think. Boots usually have a bogof deal, otherwise check the discount shops such as semichem, Bodycare etc.
    Waddle you do eh?
  • I got some in Asda yesterday Ambre Solaire Rapido for kids spf50 it was on a rollback from £9 odd to £7.00 but i got 3 bottles for £12. Bargain I thought.

    They had many different variations and different brands in the offer, 2 for £10 or 3 for £12. HTH

    Asda also do their own brand of sun cream and you get 2 bottles for £5! Have used it on my ghostly looking children and it's worked well. Lots of different spf's and in sprays or lotions.

    are they this year's stock? I know suncream lasts a few years, but it's nice to have a new one so it lasts longer.

    I bought some Tesco value stuff last year.

    Bought it again for this summer, £1.98 for large bottle, factor 25. We were in
    Turkey in August and this did us well.

    DS2 will need a fair bit of suncream for a trip to the sun on a sports tour. Having seen the One Show or some other programme that demonstrated how much cream you should be using for proper coverage he'll need a few bottles. Given the usual teenage dislike for applying protection (!) I wondered if the new Banana Boat Sport stuff would appeal to sporty boys any more than Nivea. Has anyone seen this at a reasonable price?
