    Where do you get them and what kind of savings do you make?

    Cheers.

    I wouldn't. Ebay is awash with fake blades. Google it, enough bad stories for me to think twice anyway!!

    i go into boots or similar for toiletries etc, things i'm gonna use. if you buy enough at once the offer will be on again when you need it.

    save between a third and a half depending on offers (3 for 2, buy one get one free) and depending on what you buy.

    boots also have a generous(ish) reward scheme as far as i remember. 4 points to a euro, thats 4% back.

    Yeah I used to stock up big time in Boots but I notice their prices have gone way up recently, and there's not half as many BOGOF's and 3 for 2 offers. Lidl and Aldi are now my favourites for toiletries.

    I drink gallons of Kia Ora, so when I see 100% extra free bottles, I usually buy about 12 of them. That does me til the next time the offer comes round. I also buy Worcester sauce by the crate, but thats just because I use so much of the darn stuff, I dont actually save anything. I also buy lighters in bulk when I see good ones in the markets. 2 or 3 good ones for a euro compared to about €2 for one crappy one in the shops.
