There is something about the first few properly warm days of spring that catches you off guard. One minute, we are complaining about the cold, and the next, the children want to be outside, weekends are filling up, and suddenly you realise that the sunscreen you have been carrying around since last summer is almost finished.
And honestly, sunscreen is one of those things I never want to discover we have run out of when we are already heading out the door.
Sunscreen Season Is Back
Spring means more time outside. School sports, family outings, walks, braais, beach days and those quick trips that somehow turn into hours in the sun.
That is why sunscreen becomes a must-have again. Not something we should only remember when December arrives, but something worth keeping in the bathroom, handbag or wherever you are most likely to actually use it.
So when I spotted the current Clicks SUNprotect 3-for-2 promotion, it immediately felt like one of those specials worth using to stock up.
The offer is simple: buy any three SUNprotect products and get the cheapest one free.
This Is the Kind of Special I Like
Instead of buying three identical bottles, you can use the opportunity to cover different needs.
You could pick up an SPF50 option for the kids, a larger bottle for the family and a sunscreen stick that is easy to throw into your handbag. Suddenly, you have sunscreen for home, outings and those moments when someone announces, “I forgot to put sunscreen on.”
And because the cheapest of the three products is free, you are getting something you were probably going to need anyway while saving a little money.
For me, those are the specials that make sense.
Don’t Wait Until You Need It
We have all done it. You see a promotion and think, I’ll come back for it later.
Then later arrives and the promotion is finished.
If sunscreen is already something your household uses, this Clicks 3-for-2 SUNprotect deal is a good opportunity to stock up for spring and the warmer months ahead. Just check the promotional dates, participating products and availability before shopping.
And if you happen to read this after the special has ended, don’t worry. Keep an eye out for the next Clicks sunscreen promotion. With summer still ahead of us, there will always be a reason to have sunscreen ready.
Because specials may come and go, but South African sunshine certainly isn’t going anywhere.
