To enjoy the sweet savings on beauty products, you should buy the 2022 No7 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar at Boots, Martin suggested.
The calendar grows increasingly popular every year and this Christmas, with people feeling the impact of the cost of living, it’s even more important to bag the bargains.
This year, you can get yourself £184 worth of products for just £49.50.
Martin told viewers that Boots has said it is £211 worth of products but by his calculations, it is the £184 figure.
This is due to many of the products being on a three-for-two deal at the moment, according to MoneySavingExpert.
Nevertheless, this is still a huge saving and will be welcomed by many shoppers looking for beauty-related Christmas presents and finds.
In the calendar, you can get 10 full-sized products, eight mini products and six limited editions.
We’ve listed the full list of products as well as the prices individually found by MoneySavingExpert.com below.
