Women Deodorant 72hr Advanced Roll On Invisible Pure

Is this one worth buying?

Women Deodorant 72hr Advanced Roll On Invisible Pure is currently listed at $2.75 at Coles, against a usual price of $5.50. The dollar saving is small, so treat it as something to add to a shop you were doing anyway rather than a deal to chase.

These products also keep. Unopened toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo and body wash last years, and vitamins are stamped with a best-before date that is usually a long way out. If you use a specific brand, this is the category where buying three months of it at once genuinely pays. The one thing to check is the date on anything with an active ingredient — sunscreen and some supplements are discounted precisely because the batch is getting closer to expiry.

Half price specials at both Coles and Woolworths normally run for one week, from Wednesday to the following Tuesday, and the same lines tend to come back on promotion every couple of months. If you miss this one it will very likely return — but the price shown here is the current one, and prices can change without notice.
