Homebase Wooden Barrel Planter Glitch

Couldn't see this posted anywhere.

We went to Homebase today to buy wooden barrel planters for the garden - like these.

We had previously priced them at £19.99 each or 2 for £25. Today they were reduced to £9.99! BONUS!

We bought six and they went through the checkout for a total of £15!!!!

It seems the 2 for £25 takes £15 off every second one you buy, so when you buy two at £9.99 it still takes off the £15! ... so it's a fiver for every two you buy!

Definitely worth a look. I'd imagine it's only instore that the glitch works. This was in the store near Bishopbriggs.

    homebase always seem to have these glitches - i.e. they take off the original price when items are on BOGOF, 3 for 2 etc.

    they really need to sort out their system. lol

    Like I said, they are very similar to the ones in the link. We got round ones and also more trough-like ones.

    I hope you all manage to get the glitch too! I couldn't believe it! :D
