7 days of special offers: supermarket superstars

Sometimes it’s worth filling up your trolley…

So let me guess, you sway down your local supermarket on the lookout for pasta sauce and trying to find the cake mix, all the while completely unaware of the fabulous beauty buys you can snap up while you’re there?

Gee, you really should pay more attention.

Yep, it seems that every time we turn around there’s another one of our favourite beauty brands perched on the shelf. It’s great news! It means we can get everything we need beauty-wise along with the milk and bread – saving time and money. Hurrah!

You know the other great thing about having our favourite brands in supermarkets? Supermarket specials. And don’t we just love it when we discover the things we need are on offer? Answer: yes.

So I thought I’d do my beauty duty and fill you in on a couple of supermarket-only specials coming up before the end of the month. Caution: read on only if you’re an incredibly savvy shopper.

At Woolworths:
You can do your hair a favour and pick up your favourite John Frieda goodies – for less! Now I can’t spill all the beans, but I can tell you the following:
20 June: the entire John Frieda Colour Care range (including John Frieda Precision Foam Colour!) is on offer for 2 weeks.
27 June: all John Frieda speciality ranges (including Full Repair/Frizz-Ease/Luxurious Volume/Root-Awakening) will be discounted for 2 weeks.

At Coles:
June is the time to stock up on your essentials. Make sure you don’t miss out on these super supermarket specials!
6 June: For two weeks, you can get Macleans Sensitive toothpaste for just $3.50 (RRP: $4.99).
13 June: For two weeks, you can get 20 per cent off Macleans Adult brushes (including Clean Control, All Angles, 3-Way).
4 July: For one week, you can get a whopping 50 per cent off Macleans Adult brushes (including Clean Control, All Angles, 3-Way). 
From now until Tuesday 19 June: take $4 off all COVERGIRL foundations.

What are you favourite supermarket buys?

Thanks for the heads up Liv - my latest discovery is Palmolive Luscious Mango Body Butter Body Wash. I've done a review but it hasn't been published yet - my fave body wash of ALL time, can't believe the mango fragrance, it's absolutely heavenly, and I've only just found a supermarket where I can buy it (starts with a "W" lol)...

I do like to buy some items from the supermarket and especially makeup remover cleansing wipes. I like to use these before I cleanse my face to make it a little easier. :P

I bought this face scrub from Nature's Organics for $4 and it's the best scrub I've used - doesn't break me out, doesn't make my face feel tight and leaves my skin feeling so refreshed!

You can always pick up a bargain at the supermarket, as they have great prices on their beauty products. You don't have to spend a fortune to look good..

Great specials between supermarkets as you always find at least one brand on special from skincare to makeup:-
Dove Foaming Makeup Remover and there is always cleansing wipes on special.

My fave supermarket buys are those that are 50% off - loving the sounds of the Macleans Adult toothbrushes being 50% in that sale mentioned above!! I adore a good sale! Thankyou Bh for the great sale tips there- I'll be taking note!

I picked up some Joico leave in conditioner from Woolies for about half price a couple of months ago. I think they were discontinuing it. I always go down the beauty aisle in the supermarket to see what's on special. :)

I love browsing the beauty section of supermarkets while my family are grocery shopping. =) I'm in need of a new toothbrush and haven't tried Macleans before so I might have to take that offer =)
