Body shop body butter cheaper alternative?

In the shop it costs £16 for 200ml, I wouldn't pay that, so I go into ebay and buy new ones for £7-10 free delivery. 

I'm just wondering if anyone can suggest a good quality, cheaper alternative?

    I’ve never tried Superdrug vitamin e tubs, but they look to be terrific value & get great reviews.  Always on some sort of offer too.

    Soap and Glory products are often on 3 for 2 at Boots. I love their body butter.

    The Superdrug Vit E tubs are OK but they are nowhere near as good as their body butter which they sadly discontinued. I haven't found anything quite as good- at a reasonable price I mean!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
