no wonder, I think people have grown wise to the S&G hype, or have gone off the smell

i think also because the full-size products are really big, and they last a long time, it seems to take forever to get to the end of a gift pack, so those of us who possibly bought one last year (or the year before) are still using the products :cool:.

It's still a bargain whichever way you look at it.
MSE has priced the contents of Yule Monty at £73,
so to get a bag of goodies worth £73 for £27 is a bargain, and the products are all full sized too. I look forward to the S+G deal every year, keeps me going for months plus makes good presents too. If I had bought the 3 I got on 3 for 2 it would have cost me £120, I paid £81 today, and would have looked for a code if it hadn't been 4am when I ordered online!!:)

yes, but as i said before, S&G toiletries are often (as in right now) on 342 in Boots.

even with everything on 342 you still cant get it cheaper than in that set, some of the other sets are a rip off though

absolutely - and if you'll use every item in the offer of the week, then its a good deal.

over the last few years this is the only one i will use every item so its the first time i bought it, i love the sugar crush lime so would have bought that anyway, so i got the rest for £19 :T
i did originally want the sugar crush lime set but its not full sizes so not worth it

For true MSErs: I could get much more than a years supply of branded shower gels, facial wash, body scrubs, moisturisers, mascara, lip gloss plus a case for less than £27 through the judicious use of poundshops.

I don't get the big deal about Soap and Glory unless you buy into a myth, and why the MSE newsletter is propagating this same myth.

This is soooo true, it's been completely hyped up the last few years. I think the first year it was good but since then the price has been increased and the contents reduced

Yes you can get stuff cheaper, and yes probably get more shower gels body lotions and other stuff from poundland, even getting a bag as well.


But I bought mine for presents.


I do make my own food hampers but I do not want to make gift sets up of different toiletries.


Ok the price has gone up over the years, but tell us what other stuff hasn't.


so for £27 for a nice bag, with a lot of toiletries in it I personally think it's worth it, and if I received one at Christmas I would be happy.
