Buy now or wait till after the holidays?

I saw the Lancôme Advent calendar box and for me everything is usable, no duds. Should I purchase now for 180.00 or do you think it will go down after the holidays? I’m just worried it will sell out.

If you like it that much and want the products that badly, getting it sooner than later is a sure thing. After Christmas is questionable, even unlikely. I'd look for an online coupon or maybe a Black Friday sale.

Good idea! Thanks. They did have a 40% off sale but of course was not included in the sale ☹️

It's been my experience when it comes to Lancôme gift sets that they often sell out. I think it's always a gamble whether you can find someplace offering something like a 20% discount before they sell out.

For me, it's pretty rare I would want all the products. So for that reason, I would buy now and not risk it.

Considering your current situation, @Allthingsgirly67 , I think this would be a regrettable expenditure.

Is it one from HSN? You can return it if you don't like it until January----My DD is a Lancome fan and the one they had was normally $200 to buy out right, but if you spend $49 on another item, it would cost $79 to buy---so $130 for the box and the other item. That would be 35 % off. I decided against it--too many things she wouldn't use.

If you like it and will use everything (and can afford to), I'd buy it now. Most times when I wait for things to go on sale or I say to myself that I'd come back for it, it's gone.

I would buy it now and if the price goes down later then check for a price-adjustment refund.

If an item is "the thing" for me, I don't risk it!
