Essential oils

Hi I am looking to get essential oils. Please can anyone help me where to get cheap, discounted or freebies. Thank you.

Essential oils tend to be expensive because they are so concentrated. Occasionally Boots have a gift box with a few oils in - it's a decent price, but still couldn't be called cheap. I think the last one was about £15-20, with around six bottles (10ml). Obviously they put in the less expensive oils.

If you are looking for specific oils, is it worth you building up a small collection over a period of time? I tend to use eucalyptus, tea tree, peppermint, lemon and lavendar. As only a few drops are needed, they last quite a while. I bought them individually, and as they run out, I repalce them individually. Although still expensive, the cost is spread so it isn't too bad. I usually buy from Boots, but there are probably cheaper places to buy from.

Aye although I seem to be burning them all day so I am unable to collect them. Yes a few drops is all you need but it is about 2 or 3 quid for 10 ml or so. Thank you.

Are you burning just the oils, or are you adding them to water? They go much further if you add them to water first.
