Gillette ladies Venus razor blades

I bought these in adsa the other day, the blue pack. Inside there are 2 vouchers 1 for £1 off and the other £2 off Venus Vibrance Razor and Venus Vibrance shaving gel which is reduced in our Asda (Huntly) at the moment anyway.

The blades where £4 odd and in our asda they take coupons wheather you buy the product or not as long as they stock it. So I got the blades for £1 really :-)

Thought it may help someone else.

    Is there anyway of telling from the outside whether it's a pack with vouchers in? ie. can you see them from the outside or is there a little sticker or anything on pack?

    Unfortunately not :-( But as they are obviously pushing their new product I presume they are in most packs.

    Bought another 3 packs today all included vouchers and all the vouchers were accepted in the same transaction - so far a saving of £12 on the normal price. :-)

    Not been into the new one in Huntly yet. Was through in Aberdeen last weekend but forgot all about it. Is there a limit to how much vouchers they take? Do you use them on the self scan tills or the ordinary ones? Going back through that way next week so may be worth a visit.

    I just went through the normal check outs. When I got the blades scanned I opened the box removed the voucher and continued packing my shopping then presented the vouchers at the end.

    The woman did query one of my vouchers but for a different product - didn;t bat an eyelid over the gillette vouchers.

    Oh and if you are going to huntly store they have *heaps* of clothes reduced just now (ladies) I would say nearly most of the stock !!!

    I bought a few packs but I used the vouchers from the Asda Mag - a mixture of the £1.50 and £2 ones. I'll save the vouchers from these packs as they don't expire for some time.

    It might be worth trying the mag coupons as they expire at the end of July. The worse they can do is hand them back. I've used them on normal tills as well as self-scan tills and they've never been refused by cashiers.

    budget_barbie, a big thanks for posting this as although I had a razor I doubt I would ever have bought replacement blades it it wasn't for your post!

    Going to call into the Huntly Asda tomorrow on my way from Aberdeen so hopefully there'll be lots of clothes left at the reduced prices. Also going to go to the big Asda/Walmart in Aberdeen which is huge.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    are these the blades for the free ladies razor we received?
  • The free razor I got was a wilkinsons sword one - not sure if its the same one you are on about. It was very nice and FREE which was the main thing, but I already have a venus razor and these are the blades for it.

    These blades are NOT wilkinson sword and don't fit my gillette venus, I tried it .

    These blades are Venus gillette and I think they fit al the venus models.
    more info on the products here http://www.gillettevenus.com/uk/
