    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.

    Ohhhhhhh penny dropping....... that's dissapointing.... now got to decide to get both dd's a choc crown and their friends a bargain on a little xmas gift OR save on bags of continentals which were destined to look nice and posh on the xmas table after the meal with tea's and coffee's.

    So used to 342's being grouped in similar amounts like The BodyShop and Boots!!!

    Thanks

    They've just emailed me this -

    How to claim your
    Spend £50 or more, excluding delivery, in one transaction at Thorntons.co.uk. Add a Festive Treats Collection (product code 52853) to your basket and enter offer code XE9S at the basket page.


    so if you can follow some of the logic above and create a basket like the fellow MSE'rs you could have chocholate coming out of your ears for £50!


    You don't have to spend £50. I just added the product and the code and it shows as only paying postage!

    So I got the £50 hamper for the £3.95 delivery charge ! tehe

    OMG!! Just placed an order getting the £20 continental free.....do you suppose I could get away with this also????

    Then I could order the Milk Chocolate Fariy Princess Bars that I had to abandon on my last order!!!!

    Seriously though, I have 3 birthdays in Jan early Feb that this would be great for. Would they honour it or am I pushing my luck?

    Get the feeling Thorntons web site is gonna get a hammering today!

    I already placed an order for the £19.99 choc offer and paid about £9! Then done the £50 offer and paid £9 again! If I dont get it I dont get it! If I do then its a bargain :D
