HOME BARGAINS finds thread 5

smhsmh

Avoid Home Bargains broken biscuits. My husband bought them as a bit of fun as he remembered them as a child but be warned they are a total waste of money. I think the box was about £2 but frankly you'd better off buying four packets of 30p biscuits and sitting on them. The box consisted of the absolute cheapest biscuits possible (smashed up nice, bourbon etc). So definitely avoid as the contents represent extremely poor value for money.

Oh noooo! Try another box! We have them all the time and love the surprise of what biscuit we get! Sure, some are broken up, but tthat's the point, but plenty are whole. They are £1.20 something in mine, but marked as 1.95 i think.
Love them...actually was annoyed that there wasn't any boxes in mine last payday!!

vicstick86

Top notes:!Green Tea, peach and fig
Heart notes:!Rose, osmanthus, white flowers, chocolate
Base notes:!Cedarwood, sandalwood, musk


It was 60ml and it is nice easily wearable its quite light and probably a day fragrance.
dont know wat to compare it too. The write up says... above... for some reason it keeps pasting above... blooody tablet.
worth 9.99 imo.

I bought a friend some Orla Kiely perfume a while ago as a gift and it has become her favourite and she has expensive taste! Great spot - I will definitely look out for this. Would it last wrapped up until Christmas do you think?!!

I dont think its being sold due to a sell by date, it was also for sale in tkmaxx on the same retail park, but for £15 more. I assume the fragrance is either being discontinued or changin its packaging. I doubt a few months would affect it, I think i remember being told, you should keep perfume in the dark to keep it fresh.

My daughter, a bit of a perfume nerd, loves it, but it doesn't last long on the skin.

Any perfume kept away from heat and light will keep way beyond Christmas.
