Boots glitch on Herbal essence

Hi there this is my first post. Sorry if it has already been posted. Went to my local boots today and herbal essence shampoo and conditioners 400mls are half price. Also there is a third off any shampoo or conditioner voucher from the boots machine. Somehow I only paid 57p for each one. Bargain if you ask me! Hope this helps

    hiya, great find! looks like the 3rd off is being taken off the original price :T

    Herbal essence is £3.49, 1/3 is £1.16ish, the price of herbal essence on offer is £1.75, minus the 1/3 off £1.16 is about 57p

    It's probably the in store Advantage Card machine. You put in your ad card and get vouchers out. There is no rhyme or reason to who gets which vouchers though, so you may get something different to the OP.

    It's only a game

    it's because it takes 1/3 off original price not the offer price, works best on the shampoos that are 1/2 price :j

    offers are variable, i didn't get the deo one last time but have this time round and haven't got the shampoo one this time round:(

    get yourself and a "few " family members advantage cards if you haven't already:D

    also if you have a good offer like the above once you have printed a couple the offer disappears for good, to maximise the number of vouchers you get press print repeatedly very fast and it will print several (ok i got 12 lol!!) for you to use legitimately!!:T

    the dove deo (voucher 1/3 off any female deo) discounts at the same way, takes off a 1/3 off original price tey are 1/2 price too at the moment , works out to 30p -several threads on this already;)

    The advantage card offers on the machine vary according to what you spend your money on instore. For instance i always just spend mine on beauty, so i always get vouchers with money off.
