Benefit Party Poppers

I was waiting for this year's Benefit advent calendar, it went on sale online only and they ran out very, very quickly. I missed it!! I then looked on other websites and they were selling for double the price. Original price from Debenhams was £34.50, but now selling for upwards of £70 on ebay and amazon.

These are now available in Debenhams for the original £34.50. I went this morning and got mine. Anybody else out there wanting to buy one, don't buy online. Go to Debenhams as quickly as you can. I'm sure they'll run out quickly as well, just as they did online. Go buy yours now.
I love a bargain. Now mortgage and debt free. hurray!!:smileyhea

    Benefit themselves NEVER sold them although they claim they 'sold out online'. It was on Debs online for more or less 6 hours so plenty of opportunity to get them.

    however debs instore do indeed have a ton of stock now, although they shamefully told everyone 'end of Oct' when in reality it was last week the stores got them. and they aren't even pushing it!!

    Thankfully I got mine at 8.30am on day of online release at debs.
