New Thorntons offer today - free box chocs with £25 spend

Comments

  • Could someone please tell me if thorntons usually honour glitches like this please? I have the £20 box of continental in my basket and 3 (for2) items totalling with p+p £9.93!!!!

    But I only placed an order with them yesterday and spent over £25 to get the free quidco chocs!!!

    So don't want to order again today and be charged the full amount for the chocs because I've not actually spent the £25.00.

    I'm prob worring more than usual because I've spent a small fortune on the BodyShop offers over the weekend!

    Yes they do.

    I got the ''i love choc'' hamper worth £25 but FREE when you spend £25 for £11 inc delivery a few weeks ago.

    I now only buy chocs from thorons when an offer like this is on - way cheaper than the shops and much nicer too.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!

    The 195g of continental chos are NO LONGER HALF PRICE. Damn i hesitated and now ive lost my basket.
    I missed it too but still took advantage of glitich with other goodies! Thorntons are always having glitches, I think they just do it for the advertising!
  • Ok, in my basket I have
    1x £20.00 continental FREE
    6 x Milk Chocolate Fariy Princess Bar £2.07
    3 x 242 bags of chocs £2.99 each .......but its charging me for all 3!!!!

    So effectively its not giving me one of the bags of chocs free... is ony one else having this problem???

    Wanted the Milk Chocolate Fariy Princess Bar as stocking fillers but looks like they are throwing my order out!
    Does anyone know if they are 342 in the shop for the bags of chocs or Milk Chocolate Fariy Princess Bar please????

    The three for two is working but its giving you the little princess bars free, it only gives the cheapest of the whole basket free. It don't work like boots that it gives you every 3rd item you add free.

    I had a problem with the 3 for 2 also. Had 12 items so should of gotten 4 free but only gave me 3, then when I took an item away I only got 2 free. And it didnt matter how meny more than 12 I had I was still only getting 3 free
