Summer is over and for many of us this weekend heralds the first of just three more paydays until Christmas. The year has flashed before our eyes as we head into the colder months. But it's not all bad news, with Christmas on the horizon this time of year is the best for taking advantage of shopping deals. A number of payday deals have already sprouted up this weekend, including at Boots.
Bethan Shufflebotham worked for the retailer for four years while a student at university and has learned which deals are the best, and those that aren't as good as they might first appear. She has picked out four of the high street brand's payday deals for The Mirror she said are worth having a nosey at.
Beauty advent calendar
This 24 Days of Joy calendar has more than £175 of products and usually costs £90, but it's been reduced to £44 as part of the weekly Star Gifts deals which tend to change frequently as we approach Christmas. When it returns to full price, the calendar will still be on three for two as part of Boots’ popular gifting deal, but to buy three at this price would make them £60, so on this occasion, it’s better to shop early and scoop those savings.
It contains 24 products from Boots most trusted brands including Soap and Glory, No7, Liz Earle, Sleek, Botanics, Boots, Champneys and Ted Baker. It's also filled with pamper night treats and includes everything you need to get glammed up this Christmas and beyond, from eyeshadow palettes and £18 primers, to skincare saviours and sheet masks.
