Ha, thank you all! Usually in this type of situation I'm inclined to believe it's all partly my fault, but definitely not this time!
Anyway, a cheerful MSE happening today. Popped into a local discount-ish place and found some Faith in Nature conditioner for £2.99 for a 400ml bottle - normally about £6 I think. Grabbed that, then spotted a massive 2.5l container of the same shampoo, for £9.99, reduced from supposedly £20 (although I've NEVER seen a large container anywhere).
There was only one shampoo left so I nabbed it (and also remembered to use the £5.50 credit note I've been carting round for months, so it felt even cheaper 😂).
A nice bargain 😊 and a nice treat - I love their smells and don't usually splash out 😊 Conditioner is lavender and geranium which is my usual favourite of theirs. Shampoo is orange and geranium I think, couldn't smell as it was a sealed lid but I can't imagine it'll be horrible 😊

The lavender and geranium is my favourite one, a shop near me sells the really big containers, you definitely got a bargain there 🛀🏼4

I love the orange and geranium 😊 I think the 2.5l bottles are relatively new - have only seen them on their website. I love the fact that Nature has a say on their board 😊 Definitely a bargain! The 5l ones are usually about £50.Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Cor that is proper bargainous, and with store credit on top! Their stuff is lovely3

Thank you all, I was delighted with the half price 400ml conditioner so I'm even more thrilled with this! 😊 and I'll be able to refill it at the zero waste shop (if it ever runs out 😂). Will keep an eye out next time I'm in there in case it turns up again.
(It's orange and grapefeuit (not geranium) and does indeed smell delicious). Quite annoyed that I washed my hair this morning 😂 might wash it again tomorrow anyway!
A grumpity day today 🙄 I think we're both just tired. Mr C's off to see his dad tomorrow, so I'm going to have a plan or else the whole day will get lost...5
