Home Bargains shoppers rushing to buy beauty gift set that’s ‘ideal stocking filler’ scanning for £8 instead of £31
HOME Bargains shoppers are rushing to buy an “amazing” beauty gift set that’s scanning at tills for £8 instead of £31.
The “ideal stocking filler” features several L’Oreal products.
Home Bargains has slashed the cost of its L’Oreal Blemish Buster Gift Set from £38.99 to just £7.99.
That’s over 80 per cent off meaning customers save £31.00.
What’s in the set?
- 1x Smooth Sugars Clearing Scrub 50ml.
- 1x Pure Clay Blemish Rescue Mask 50ml.
- 1x Hydra Genius Aloe Water 70ml.
Essentially, customers looking to exfoliate, treat and hydrate their skin for a good price, need look no further.
A Home Bargain’s representative posted a photo of deal to Facebook and wrote: “An ideal stocking filler. Just look at that saving.
“Available in store & online.”
Comments from excited shoppers flooded the comment section, along with thousands of likes.
One shopper said: “I use the hydra genius and it costs more than that on its own so this is a fab bargain!”
While a second commented: “Just got one and it’s fab.”
And a third said: “Please can santa bring this please oh please.”
However, many shoppers also expressed their disappointment to see the set was out of stock either online or in their local Home Bargains store.
Equally, no wonder they’re out of stock – just one of these items usually costs around the price of the whole set.
If you head to L’Oreal’s website and search for a specific set item, you will be directed to a retailers website selling the product.
For example, a 50ml pot of the L’Oreal Paris Face Mask Pure Clay Glow currently costs £7.21 on Amazon.
According to L’Oreal’s website, no retailers are selling the Smooth Sugars Glow Scrub right now, but when searched directly on Amazon it appears to be selling for £20.40 per 50ml pot.
Similarly, a 70l bottle of the Hydra Genius Aloe Water is also selling on Amazon for £12.99.
To find your local Home Bargains store, simply head to the website and click Store Locator.
Then enter your postcode or town to find your nearest store.
How to shop for bargains
As always, we recommend shopping around to find the best deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web.
Just type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
Price Spy also logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets.
Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
How to save money at B&M
SHOPPERS have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here’s how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you’ve installed it on your device, click on the option labelled “more” on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You’ll then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. Click on this and you’ll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don’t need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
