OH, BOOTS 3 FOR 2S. You are beautiful, and you are ruinous.

1. A 3 for 2 is a special occasion in its own right

4. And logic goes out the window

Feeling a boots splurge as I need one thing but then it's 3 for 2 so you know what happens then

“Sure if I need to get one thing, I might as well get three.” Gotta get the deals.

5. You spend a good half an hour deciding on the third item

Thank you Boots 3 for 2! #boots #3for2 #boots3for2 #makeup #rimmel #maybelline

I just want a friend that cares what the third item on my Boots 3 for 2 is when I can't decide.

*texts the group chat* “What do I get??”

6. And do the maths to make sure you get the best deal possible

Never mind algebra. What they want to teach is how to get the best deal on Boots 3 for 2. Some rookie errors from the women in front of me!

8. You slowly realise that your makeup collection has tripled

9. While your savings are depleted

Damn you Boots & your 3 for 2 & damn you Superdrug with your half price offers & bargain brands. First MUA purchases made £1 for a blusher ONE POUND!! 3 items were repurchases so don't count, that's my philosophy- feel free to adopt it. #bbloggers #fblbloggers #fbloggers #haircare #haul #shopping #makeup #cosmetics #beauty #boots3for2 #igdaily #instadaily #potd

So very poor.

10. The hardest thing though? Staying away

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Going in, seeing the 3 for 2 signage, then turning and going right back out again. That takes talent.
