Freebie that ended up costing me more money

My daughter wanted a relatively cheap perfurme for Christmas. Then she smelt my freebie, Chanel Chance and now wants that perfume for Xmas - trouble is its twice the price.

If I hadn't had the freebie she would have been none the wiser.

Anyway know where I can get it cheap??

  • Ooh where did you get the sample from? And is it more than just a scented card..? Thanks!

    I have used Fragrance Direct, which I found were quite cheap https://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk or ASDA is normally good, if they have the one you want.

    Home Bargains have a lot of perfumes, don't know which though.
  • Just order 50 sample bottles and pour them in an old perfume bottle or sprayer.

    Voila

    :)

    be carefully with fragrance direct, "The majority of products are store counter testers" (from their own marketing) without packaging and with tester stickers it might not be ideal for a gift. if you do go with them quidco do 5% cashback, and rpoints 3%
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

    I just got one of my wife's christmas presents (good job she doesn't use this site!) from https://www.halfpriceperfumes.co.uk

    not sure if they have what you want, but it was an easy enough experience and the goods are already with me, so I'd recommend them...

    Ive been using this company for ages and can thoroughly recommend them. If it's a tester or doesn't have a lid it says so next to the product. I've found that a lot of the perfumes on there recently are not testers.
