One of the first money saving tips I learnt was to buy perfume online from www.strawberrynet.com. You can save stacks on top-brand fragrances and it's the first place I look now to make savings on perfumes. I also love these sweet-smelling suggestions from www.simplesavings.com.au. Free samplesAsk a salesperson for free samples of the perfumes you would like to try. The large department stores usually have lots of promotional samples in small glass tubes - great for carrying in your handbag. That way you can change your fragrance every day, and it's an effective way to decide which perfume you like best - for no cost at all. Essential oilsJackie hasn't bought a bottle of perfume since she started replacing them with essential oils. One drop is all you need, so those little bottles last ages. The smell is divine and much longer-lasting than perfumes - after all, commercial perfumes are simply a diluted mixture of essential oils! Make sure you get ones that are 100 per cent pure though - it's worth paying a few dollars more. However, some essential oils are unsafe to use while pregnant, so always be sure to check with your doctor first. Visit a pharmacySuzanne discovered that chemists often sell perfume cheaper than department stories. She purchased a bottle of her favourite perfume for $69 instead of its usual price of $189. What a bargain! Butter me upMaia couldn't afford her favourite perfume, so she bought a bottle of the matching skin lotion instead. She found that if she uses the lotion daily, it smells just as potent and lovely as the perfume. You can also decant it into a smaller plastic bottle for travelling as it doesn't evaporate, spill or leak, and you can top up your scent by using it as a hand lotion during the day. Best of all, it costs less than half the price of the perfume. Our budget advice shows you how to save cash, erase debt and transform your life forever.
