    I haven't I'm afraid... going to have to wait until they send them out again :(
    I will be changing the bulk of my vouchers for double on baby stuff, as my partner and I are expecting our first child! :) Deals like this would, for me, be worth parting with the cash £8 and getting £5 worth of CC vouchers to double up for £10

    £2 profit to spend on nappies that we would have to purchase anyway, and I could then ebay the parfumes or give them as gifts

    my store - Harrow for anyone reading, doesn't have Oxygene at £8, it was £14.50 but I bought it anyway as had H&B voucher for 200 points on £10 spend, so got 700 points and points for bag reuse... HTH

    :sad::sad:Been to several Tesco stores over the last few days, the only decent deal I found was the Oxygene at £15 with 500 points.

    But...... today I took my DD with me, and bought

    8 of their fragrances without packaging for £1 each:j:j

    Includes Lou lou by Cacherel
    Kylie Minogue showgirl
    Burberry Weekend
    and Kerry Katona

    DD very happy indeed.

    My Tescos today cheapest perfume was £13 with 500 points. Was not sure whether this was a good deal so did not get it. Anyone advise? Thanks
    500 points = £10 in double up clothes points or £20 in deals.

    I went this morning (none in Leyland or Chorley), and couldn't find any. There were a couple with extra points, but both were £35, I think.

    Just been to the Macclesfield store and got 5 x "Oxygene" for £8 ea and 5 x "Cold" (united colors of Benetton) for £8 ea plus the 500 points per bottle.

    Fantastic, spent £40 in cc vouchers (turned into £80 in cosmetic coupons) and got 10 bottles of aftershave and will get £50 in cc vouchers. Plus a 5p of my next petrol :rotfl:

    Cheers OP :beer:
