There is one in Deanshanger (buckinghamshire) which is very close to my work. In case it's of use to anyone. Can't find anywhere in oxfordshire at all!!!

One more thing to weigh up is that Which? magazine did not rate this product highly in their May tests. Other Andrex products were best buys, but the Aloe Vera one was rated poor for degradeability and absorbency, and merely acceptable for strength. Only on softness did it get a rating of good.

But YBMV.

You might want to buy a plunger and some rubber gloves with your packs of toilet rolls:

Can you find Andrex Aloe Vera packs cheaper?

If you've spotted a better deal on Andrex Aloe Vera click reply and post it below.

Costco are usually dead cheap for toilet rolls, if you buy in bulk. Anyone headed down there?

What's the deal?

Throughout August until November Andrex is offering free 1 hour beauty treatments (to over 18s) in various salons across the UK when you collect 8 tokens printed on special packs of its Aloe Vera toilet roll. The treatments available include an Indian Head Massage, Reiki, Reflexology, Acupressure Massage and an Aromatherapy Massage.

Where did the 1 hour come from? I can't see any mention of this on the Andrex website. The terms and conditions say each treatment will be no less than 30 minutes long.

I don't mean to keep quibbling. It is still a great deal. A 30 minute aromatherapy session at the Green Room in Covent Garden is normally £30, so to get this for £6.60 worth of toilet rolls is pretty good. Even if you just give the toilet rolls away.

I guess the therapists are willing to do this for virtually nothing, in the hope you will like it so much that you go back and pay for more. In fact, I should think that many would give a complimentary 30 minute session to any new client who has the nerve to ask.

Yes, in general these promotions work on the basis that the salons/therapists are offering them for free in return for the "advertising" they are getting and attracting new clients to their salons.

isnt this the same for EVERY freebie?! i live in london and im guessing that it is covered pretty well. you should be expecting to travel if you live in a small remote village off the west coast of Guernsey.

This is a great offer if there's a suitable therapist for you, but it might be worth checking the list before buying a year's supply of toilet rolls. For instance, there is only one therapist on the list for Bedfordshire (none for some of the therapies), and two for Cornwall. I suspect many people may face an hour's drive to take advantage of the free massage

Can anyone tell me where the two in Cornwall are to save me registering?

Cheers.
