Hi all.
I was one of the many people who were refreshing curry's again and again in the hope that their £29.99 chocolate fountains would come back into stock, unfortunately they haven't and today I began to panic as Christmas is catching up on me! So I went on an internet search to find one with good reviews at roughly the same price as Curry's.
In the end I arrived at Boots.com who happen to have the Prima Chocolate Fountain for £39.99 in stock, reduced from £49.99. Argos etc are still selling it at £49.99. Internet searches showed only good feedback and reviews on this fountain and infact most people seemed to love it to pieces.
Here is the chocolate fountain!
Now the best bit, there is a voucher circulating for £10 off a £45 spend.
You can see it by clicking here!
So I purchased one of these chocolate fountains but had to spend an extra £5 to reach £45 and get free delivery and the £10 off. Therefore I looked through the 3 for 2's and got myself 3 x Vaseline Intensive Care Deodorant For Men and 3 x Lynx Recover Shower Gel for the priceley sum of £7.16. A bargain in itself.
That brought the order total to £47.15 but once the £10 came off, the grand total was £37.15. But wait, thats not the end. I also got 563 advantage card points thanks to the triple points promotion thats running just now, so as good as £5.63 to me. Call the order total £31.52!
Pause for thought here, thats not yet the end. I almost forgot to go through my Quidco.com account, thats an extra 4.5% cashback on the order. So £31.52 - 4.5% = £30.10!!!!!!!!
Now Curry's chocolate fountain was £33.98 once you added delivery. For £30.10 I got an arguably better quality fountain plus loads of other things for myself delivered from boots.com!!! I reckon that I've ended up better off thanks to the lack of stock at Curry's! Plus I'll be happy cos I've got my toiletries, and the girlfriend better be happy with her chocolate fountain!
Obviously you don't have to get mens toiletries to make up the extra £5, that was just my choice. Suppose you could buy some chocolate for your fountain!
Enjoy!

Hi Guys.
Right this is weird, I tried to use the code today on a different order and it didn't work either. Do you think you may have used the code before?

Well that is a problem! Gutted.
The fountain is still available but not at such a great bargain.
Possibly move this thread to 'gone' mods?0 -
