    Default Surprisingly Cheap Common Frags at Meijer

    So I was looking for the cheapest sources possible for L'eau d'Issey and Cool Water the other day... While FragranceNet and FragranceX and Amazon were the cheapest for Issey, I actually found out that a regional department store in my area, Meijer, has a cheaper price on the 4.2oz Cool Water than any of the discount frag sites I've seen. I think I know where I'm going when my juice runs out, at least for common scents like that! They also had Lagerfeld (was looking for a cheaper source for my dad) for the cheapest I've found too... Guess I've got a nice little source nearby.

    Yeah, for the 'fathers day' fragrances like CW, 4711, Old Spice and maybe Tabac, your local druggist or chemist will often have them cheaper than the online sites.

    Chemists here in Oz stock only a relatively small range of mens frags but they usually have excellent prices on those I mentioned, as well as frags like Blue Jeans, Lomani, Joop Homme, the Beckham range, Paco Rabanne PH and most CK frags.

    I snagged a 100mL of Paco PH for $35 and a 100mL of Azzaro PH for $25 from a chemist here.
    The problem with Arsenal is that they always try to walk it in!

    About a year or so ago you could get a full bottle of L'eau d'Issey at Target for ~$30, but yeah you never know what you will find.

    Or you can buy Aspen for half the cost of Cool Water... as it is almost identical to cool water :)

    Even Walmarts brand "Blue Depths" is a pretty decent and lasting alternative for around 8 bux u.s.

    I remember another thread where someone went to the Dollar Store and found 6 or 7 different cheap imitations and for a buck you can't go wrong.
