Advice on Finding Cheap Toiletries Please

Hi all

Hope this is the right board to post on, please move me if not.

I'm not the most intuitive bargain hunter and wondered if anyone had any good suggestions on where I might be able to get any of the below brand of toiletries fairly cheap or on BOGOF...

Simple toiletries range (I know these are advertised in Poundland at the mo but ours never has it in stock, Going to have one more try tomorrow and if still not there then I'm going to ask them to take the sign down in the window as they've had no stock for over a month now!!)

Lush toiletries - mainly after bath bombs and hand moisture cream

Molton Brown stuff

Original Source stuff

I'm buying ahead for Christmas (I'll be on SMP by then :eek: ) so no urgency for right now, but I don't normally buy the above stuff to know where usually has offers on them / when they are on offer

Many thanks

    have you tried ebay?
    the summer sales are starting soon, so there should hopefully be some bargains to be had at Molton Brown/Lush etc......

    simple products are usually on offer in most supermarkets and also boots for very reasonable prices.Have you tried lush in the late afternoon our locol always offer me freebie bits just before closing as i am a regular customer i can usually get a bathbomb or bubble bar free with a small purchase and with the launch of a new product they always have a free item offer up so it works out cheaper and their testers are genourous sizes too.
    Molton brown do value packs on the tv shopping channels aswell and that is always a goood bargain!hth

    hi, poundland was selling quite a lot of original source stuff a couple of weeks ago, so worth a look there. also try tk maxx, savers and the clearance lines in boots (go to some of the quieter stores and lookaout for their clearance lines...usually at the back of the store) most of it is products that have had the packaging slightly damaged, etc.

    Tesco had Simple on BOGOF last week. Molton Brown have clearance shops, there is one in Gunwharf Quays Portsmouth.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!

  • Hi, not sure if this is any help but, our local Lidl was selling Simple toiletries the last time I was there (around a month or so ago). Might be worth a look. I normally head to my local Savers for toiletries. Hope you find what you're looking for!
