    A couple of years ago, a Laura Ashley throw reduced to £3.99 delivered. It was originally £140, and I gave it to my grandmother for Christmas and she loved it so much she insisted on having it brought to put on her bed in the hospital when she died.

    Less sentimentally, the £10 ASOS - I made six orders and got some very very good bargains.

    Forgot about the tomato glitch! That would have to be my best one too. You can't top being paid to take things from tesco and it was during a bit of a tight week for me. I had free toms and £40 worth of free shopping! :)

  • I agree that the ASOS glitch was pretty awesome. I got some things that I had been lusting after for ages, and some Christmas pressies too.

    I've also done very well out of some of the Boots glitches.

  • Ooh this is a tough one!

    Last year it was definately the M&S alcohol glitch, I didn't make a large order but the way it worked out I managed to get 14 alcohol items, 3 stockings and a christmas scene tealight holder for a few quid.

    This year I think it will be a toss up between the Debenhams voucher which has sorted lots of smaller gifts out for people and saved money on the bigger gifts bought from there.

    Or the Elonex digital tv frame from Asda, which was marked up at £100 originally and then reduced to £9.00 each which lasted a few minutes. I'm not convinced it was a glitch though but £9.00 for a digital frame that has built in freeview and cable capabilities means one very happy hubby come Christmas :D

    There have been so many amazing glitches recently it is too hard to choose just one! Come on M&S, jump on the bandwagon, please? :rotfl:

    Definitely the ASOS one, I did very well out of that one, and the BHS delivery glitch, I got a couple of orders.

    What was the tomato glitch all about then?

    The Wii glitch sounds amazing, well done to those who got it!
  • yeah the tomato glith was great =- i got about 35 and we're just coming to the end of them.. how did I miss the Wii thing though! Argh!

    I seem to miss out on all the good glitches but for me, having the kids pressies sorted out by the end of September was fantastic. That comes from the Lego sale in the New Year, Tesco 1/2 sale recently plus the Boots offer for £5 off parenting club voucher.

    I haven't done well with glitches but I've saved a shed load of money plus I actually have an Xmas pressie for my mum this year (not saying what as she reads this forum) :j

    Nobody has mentioned the Moltonbrown Brown glitch, I think that has to rate quite highly for the beautiful gift boxes and products we all received.
