Molton Brown TSV 06/10/24

[ClaireKelly]

It’s funny but even if it had been £59.99 I think we would all have been happier… but going over £60 seems a bit too much. Wonder how well it will sell….
Facebook opinion already is that it’s too expensive.
Will wait and see the breakdown on item cost once it goes live.

So do I tell Mr CC how much it is, or do I lie Why are all the things I really like in life becoming too much money? I still think I'll get it though because I've only one handwash that I've just opened and a couple of half used shower gels. I was thinking I could take the minis out as well and give them as a gift to Nephew's girlfriend or I'm going away next Easter, they would be nice for that.

I'm justifying it so I really shouldn't be buying it.

Molton Brown have discounts in their outlet section. Shower gel is £17.50

Still some offers with 50% off, unfortunately the free p&p offer has expired.

I was briefly tempted but I came to my senses and would rather wait until Black Friday as they always have 20% off. I can then buy exactly what I want and not be stuck with those silly tiny bottles.

 

[Koala]

I’m out.

 

[Cashers]

I’m out.

Me too!

Note how the “over-pricing” is putting so many off despite the early enthusiasm on here. I think QVC got the TSV wrong but it will probably do well with the QVC super-buyers who are less discerning than us!

 

[LV73]

Too rich for my pockets so I'll stick to L'Occitane (when on offer) I think. I really must use up what I've got anyway, as I'm about to get much poorer.

Yes! And MB is usually the one TSV that most of us convince ourselves to buy!
I will still get one for my daughter but if it is over £60 I’m not adding one for me.

 

[ClaireKelly]

I have to add that I’ve been using Australian Bodycare and it’s brilliant! Leaves my skin feeling soft and clean and the smell isn’t overpowering. Hubby loves it too, and it was £13 for a litre from the Amazon Australian bodycare shop. Free postage too…
So who needs Molton Brown?!

It’s such a shame. I don’t mind the minis and they can be useful for little extra gifts or for travel, as others have said, but I’d rather the TSV had been around £52 and not included them or under £60 with them. Going over that £60 threshold will deter many and (as also mentioned here) it could actually end up being nearer £70 than £60, depending how much they want for P&P. I have an idea it will be free P&P, though.

So £114 if bought direct from MB. And this is £62, so not even half price. And £3.95 postage! So £65.95 total. That is a lot of money….

 

[boffy]

I usually buy the regular size 4 piece collection sets. I never buy this TSV collection as I can never open the fiddly bottles and its not VFM imo.

I can buy 15 bottles of wine from Aldi for that price anyhow I’m not ordering it.

So who needs Molton Brown?!

Me too Claire. I always think it's expensive when I'm buying it but it lasts for ages and my skin has been so much better since I started using it. I also gift it to my son in law who was having problems with his skin and this helped him.

 

[Mazza]

The neighbours are definitely not getting the minis as their Xmas present. I’m out too. Checking the stash I have 2x silver birch, so the attraction for me was the new clementine one and the red handwash. I can live without them though and look out for the next MB sale.

 

[Koala]

So just over 1.2 litres to drain down your plug hole after you’ve washed yourself for 65 quid.
I’ll take a litre bottle of ABC for less than 20 quid , Amazon prime next day delivery and dream of Bondi beach instead of some tropical paradise marketing extravaganza.

Yep, you really do start to question these things when the price tips over that threshold.

An excellent sense of priority, Lynn!
