Perfume lovers have discovered a "bargain" discount on Boots where you can get three Ghost fragrances for a cut of the usual price. On the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a savvy member posted a screenshot showing the offer: Three 30ml Ghost perfumes for £21, down from the usual price of £84.
"For anyone looking for a bargain and who likes fragrance, 90ml worth of perfume for £21! Online only," the shopper advised her fellow deal-seekers. The recommendation swiftly attracted a flurry of likes and comments.
Adding further to the tip-off, Danielle remarked: "FYI they come in three separate packages in the box so you could use it at three gifts.", reports Yorkshire Live.
One shopper commented on the post, saying: "Thank you. I just ordered two sets, so I have six gifts, unless I am tempted to keep some."
A second added: "Thank you. Got three sets for £56.70, spent over £60 for 10% off free delivery, and £4.48 back on points into the birthday and Christmas stash they go."
The discount, available via the Boots website, includes three perfumes: Ghost Orb of Night, Opulence, and Deep Night. The gift set typically costs £84 but is now available at the bargain price of £21. That is a discount of 75% on the usual price.
