  • The 75p Bargain Body Scrub In Boots!

    Sales. There’s something very satisfying and smug worthy about picking up items in a sale. Saving money is something no one should be ashamed of, especially in our current economy. Boots in the UK over the last few weeks have had lots of products in store reduced to clearance prices, including Treacle Moon’s Peace In A Flower Body Scrub. How much did it cost and what is it like?

    Treacle Moon’s Peace In A Flower Body Scrub
    Usual Price vs Clearance Price

    I couldn’t see the usual price in Boots for this product. But direct from Treacle Moon this body scrub is £3.00. Not expensive at all. BUT on clearance in Boots this cost me only 75p!

    Packaging

    This body scrub comes in a clear plastic flip top tube. You can see the product inside and the labelling is sweet, very in keeping with the name and fragrance of this product. On a practical level, easy to use and easy to store in any bathroom.

    Look, consistency & texture

    Treacle Moon’s Peace In A Flower Body Scrub is soft pink in colour with visible tiny brown specks throughout it. It’s squeezable, and comes out fluid but it’s not loose. The best way I can describe how thick it is is it’s similar to a body lotion.

    Fragrance

    Feminine, floral, very pretty with a slight powdery smell to it. Floral can be quite old fashioned if not done well but this would appeal to a variety of different ages.

    On the body

    Applied on damp skin, I used a generous amount of this to make sure I was covered from neck to feet. There’s enough scrub pieces in this to feel it on the skin, and for it to do the work its designed to do. Also the ‘bits’ weren’t too big where it could be rough and damage the skin. Very easy to apply and wash off, leaving the skin feeling lightly moisturised, and feeling soft and smooth.

    For me, the fragrance was the best bit, it’s beautiful. It made applying this scrub a pleasure not a chore. The fragrance is the perfect spring fragrance because of the floral aspect it has.

    Recommended?

    This is a good scrub! It does what it’s supposed to do to the body, its easy and enjoyable to use and the fragrance is perfect. I’ve used other Treacle Moon scrubs and I’ve found that at least one was more moisturising than this one. So if I could change anything about this product I would like it to be more moisturising during use and after. But for 75p it’s a no-brainer! If you see it at this price or less buy it! Even if you’re not a fan of floral fragrances, this would make part of a great gift for someone e.g Mother’s Day, birthdays etc.

  • Looking For A Bargain? Check Out Boots!

    I can’t express enough how much I love a bargain! There’s nothing more satisfying than buying items that you would happily buy at full price to find they’ve been reduced. Although 2026 is a year I’m trying to be more mindful of how much money I spend, I still want to save money on as many purchases I make as possible. A recent trip to my local Boots had me walking out with an armful of discounted goodies. So what did I find and how much did it cost?

    Ineos Manadrin + Sandalwood Body Wash

    Not a brand I’ve used before but I’ve heard of it. 300ml of a body wash that is designed to be moisturising, fragrant, containing natural oils, combat odours and keep the body cool. I love the sound of the fragrance of mandarin & sandalwood. It sounds comforting and clean. And the packaging is unusual, stands out and something both men and women would happily have in their bathroom. Original price £3.00, reduced price 75p.

    Treacle Moon’s Peace In A Flower Body Scrub

    Floral, feminine and almost perfume like, this body scrub smells so pretty! The formulation, if anything like other scrubs from this range, will be an effective exfoliant and leave the skin soft, smooth and moisturised. I’ve used scrubs from Treacle Moon before and loved them, so I know this will be great. I’m not sure how much Boots retailed this for, but on Treacle Moon’s website this is priced at £3.00. Boots in store clearance price? 75p. (matching shower & bath gel available).

    Treacle Moon’s Rouge Love Story Body Butter

    I’ve just finished this body butter and it’s a delight! (see review here). It’s a beautiful body butter. Good size at 200ml which will provide fragrance and moisturisation on a daily basis. At Boots this normally costs £4.99 but current price reduced to £2.49. How much instore? £1.25! (matching shower & bath gel available).

    Treacle Moon’s Rouge Love Story Body Butter
    Treacle Moon’s Rouge Love Story Body Mist

    I’ve tried Treacle Moon’s Sunny Brazilian Love Fragrance Mist and honestly was disappointed. So what made me consider Rouge Story Body Mist? I love the scent of Rouge Story Body Butter. It’s a deeper, richer scent than Sunny Brazilian so I hoped it would perform better. But the body butter being available and the matching body mist meant an affordable way to layer in a beautiful fragrance. Usual price in Boots was £3.99, down to £1.99, instore £1.00!

    Did I buy any of these?

    Of course I did! I bought 2 each of the body wash, body butters and body mists. And 3 scrubs. So what am I going to do with these? If I don’t keep them for myself, which is a strong possibility, these will make great gifts. I bought these with people in mind. I’m happy I found these at the prices I did because saving money in 2026 on purchases I was going to make is what I’m after!

    *Instore and online prices may vary. At time of publishing post these were available in my local store at mentioned prices but may change or vary in other stores*

  • 3 Things I Bought From Aldi In Their Christmas Sale

    With New Year, school half term and bad weather, shopping has been very limited in this household. I would normally venture in various supermarkets, especially in January to see what they have on special offer that’s Christmas or New Year related. But that’s not really been happening at the start of 2025. But I did go into my local Aldi store quickly to grab a few grocery essentials and picked up 3 bath and home fragrance products that I thought were great value. What did I buy?

    3 Things I Bought From Aldi In Their Christmas Sale
    Fireside Spice Reed Diffuser

    I picked this up because I love fireside as a scent in home fragrance products. Fireside Spice is made up of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and biscuit. Spicy, warming, almost bakery basked with a hint of woody notes. This screams winter! Packaging isn’t too Christmas like, but does have stockings, candy cane leaf images on a neutral coloured boxed. Reduced to £1.49.

    Hotel Collection Pomegranate Scented Set of 3 Bath Bombs

    3 pomegranate scented round, white and medium sized bath bombs housed in a white cracker finished off with a black ribbon. My eyes caught this because of how simple but stylish this looked. The scent is a Jo Malone dupe and I could smell this from the packaging, which is strong and distinctive. How much? Only 99p!

    Hotel Collection Pomegranate Scented Set of 3 Bath Bombs
    Purewick Votive Candle Set

    This is a beautifully boxed set of 3 glass votive candles in the fragrances of Starry Night, Let it Snow and Sleigh Bells Ring. Each one is quite different in scent. One is very smoky and woody. Another with a spicy scent to it with a little caramelised sugar and the last woody and a touch of fruitiness. Such a beautifully presented box of candles which only cost 99p!

    Purewick Votive Candle Set

    So what do I think of these items I picked up? Absolute BARGAINS! Nicely packaged, great scents and budget busting pricing! What am I going to do with these? These will be going straight into my gift drawer for future use, except the reed diffuser, that’s MINE!

  • Reduced Priced Products In Boots

    As much as I would like to visit the store Boots more regularly, I can’t. Time and location of the stores means if and when I visit it’s normally for another reason. But when I’m in the area I always like to have a look to see what’s available and check what special promotions are on in regards to bath, body, skincare or fragrance products. Did I find anything during my most recent visit, and more importantly, did I buy anything at a special price point?

    Treacle Moon’s Papaya Summer Shower & Bath Gel

    I’m a fan of the brand Treacle Moon, and I’ve tried (and loved!) quite a few of their products including Sweet Berry Kisses Bath Salts, Treacle Moon’s Frosted Candy Angel and Papaya Summer Body Scrub. So I grabbed their Papaya Summer Shower & Bath Gel which was reduced from £1.99 to £1.38. When I got to the till it actually scanned at 50p, so I went and grabbed three more! 500ml in size, smells amazing (tropical and fruity) and is the perfect Summer scented bath and shower product.

    Salt of the Earth Unscented Natural Deodorant Crystal

    I’m very open minded to natural body products. Salt of the Earth Unscented Natural Deodorant Crystal got my attention because we go through LOTS of underarm products. With a 14 and 12 year old you can imagine the amount I have to buy in various fragrances and types. This seemed very affordable (£1.38 down from £5.50). Contains 100% natural ingredients, unscented and is supposed to not leave white marks. I bought 3 in the end.

    Salt of the Earth’s Unscented Natural Deodorant

    So these were the two bargain buys I found in Boots. 4 shower and bath gels and 3 natural deodorants for roughly £6.00. Not bad if I say so myself! It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on shelves in stores such as Boots, Superdrug and also supermarkets because there can be some really great priced products available to suit even the lowest of budgets.
