Planning a romantic break?





02 8th, 2009

It’s well worth planning ahead when you need to buy perfume or after shave because there are huge savings to be had if you know where to go. Online perfume and after shave stores tend not to have the same overheads as retail shops, which means they can seriously undercut them. It’s not unusual to get massive savings of up to 50% when you buy perfume from an online store, and that includes delivery! It’s not just perfume and aftershave where you can save either, cosmetics are also generally heavily discounted, and that includes mens grooming cosmetics as well. The market for male cosmetics has exploded in recent years and many men are now routinely using moisturisers and hair products.

Some of the best online stores we’ve found include Lookfantastic.com who sell a great range of wonderful products for men and women at seriously discounted prices. For make grooming products try Carter and Bond who are really amazing and specialise in grooming products for men only. Fragrancedirect sell very cheap perfume and aftershave and CheapSmells.com sell top notch but low price perfume and aftershave as well.

Planning ahead instead of buying at the last minute on the high street can seriously save you a fortune, and the end product is identical to the perfume or aftershave you find in the shops so everyone is happy and you’ve more in your pocket to spend on a treat for yourself perhaps!

Wow, the christmas sales are shaping up to be fabulous for everyone, and that includes romantic shoppers like you who are looking to buy perfume, holidays, trips and city breaks, jewellery, lingerie, flower, chocolates, in fact – you name it, it’ll be getting heavily marked down as soon as retailers have given up on getting pre christmas sales (and that is any minute now).

The “credit crunch” is forcing retailers to pull out all the stops, and that not only means offering their regular products at the best possible prices, but it also means that many are selling to survive. With insolvencies increasing by the week, even sales are massively cometitive because there simply aren’t enough pounds being spent to go round. Therefore, undercutting is the order of the day, which is brilliant news if you are a customer looking to get the most for your money!

The Euro exchange rate is so dreadful that it will be interesting to see what happens in the travel industry in the new year. My guess is that sales will be so bad that they will have to not only slash prices, but also improve the levels of services being offered as an inclusive price (just when everyone was getting used to be scammed by being surcharged for all sorts of things). Also, I expect more half board and all inclusive offers to be available because with the Euro now almost at parity with the pound, even if you can afford to get over to Europe (or the USA), once there, you’ll find it incredibly expensive to buy almost anything and if you go abroad for a holiday and can’t afford to eat, drink and be merry, then chances are, you won’t go at all.

We’ll be doing our best to flag up some of the best deals for romantic getaways and treats so please bookmark us and pop back regularly. Meantime, have a lovely christmas, you and yours, and we’ll see you soon. Keep an eye on Find a Cheap Holiday if you’re on the lookout for bargain travel and holidays from the UK.
