    fantastic list and I must say I do something similar myself when buying the gift sets from Boots. Its amazing how some are good value and others aren't


    With your list does it take into consideration discounts ie 3 for 2 on the products because Boots do often have these all on special offer

    No I don't take discounts into consideration as it gets too complicated, I also don't take anything but the products into account i.e. no bags, brushes etc because I can't get a seperate price for them.

    Thanks for this Kadison - very helpful. What about this one - the Lancome Mascara wardrobe - http://www.boots.com/en/Lancome-Hypnose-Volumising-Black-Mascara-Wardrobe-Set_1365900/
  • Thanks Kadison for doing the Big EA crock bag, great value if you get for £50 or less ;)
    However since I saw your post re the Lancôme bag, I have become obsessed with that lol,
    Also well done for getting your MSE [FONT=&quot]Xmas Saver! badge [/FONT][FONT=&quot]…..[/FONT][FONT=&quot]well deserved[/FONT]:T

    Without even checking I can tell you that's worth more than £22, Lancome full size mascaras are £22 so you're getting the mini ones free essentially, but I will work it out later and add it above x

    Thank you *blushes*

    Yes I have had to wrap that away, I also got the EA bag for £28.60 thanks to that lovely glitch of yours :D:D:D

    Now have £81+ on my Love2shop card from Topcashback, wondering whether to get the Estee Lauder one as well!

    Thankyou Kadison!
  • Hi Kadison another request if you have time http://www.boots.com/en/Elizabeth-Arden-Ceramide-PP-Ultra-Lift-Firm-Moisture-Set_1365832/

    The big Estee Lauder set also looks good, we will be known as the bag ladies if this continues.

    I am away from tomorrow, I will do it if I have time before I leave, which is probably not going to happen, so I'll do it when I get back xx

  • ok Kadison don't worry, only do it if you have time. Actually you have got me very interested in how thing are really worth, so this is my first attempt

    I saw this in another MSE post, I have ordered and I think this is worth £45 :)
