Not sure if it really counts as a glitch but a pretty good offer non the less.
In the acm i got a voucher for 25% bubble bath/shower gel and a 300 points when you buy any champneys product.
Therefore i picked up a £6 shower gel (the cheapest)
With the 25% voucher came to £4.50 and then i got 300 points which i then used on the rest of my shopping.
So i got a £6 champneys shower gel for £1.50 - perfect for presents

A good offer compared to the original retail price, but you can get branded shower gels at poundshops. I can't imagine that the Champney's brand is any better, or is worth a fraction of the £6 price tag; it is just about marketing!Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Good find thank you. You have to be careful with the vouchers for 'shower gel' as I have had them not work on 'body wash' before!0

If you want you could always get Radox Bath for 50p. It's normally £2.05 but half price at £1.02. With the 25% ACM voucher it takes the dicsount off the original price, not the half price so instead of 75p which I was expecting, it was 50p. Normally £1.90ish in the big supermarkets.0

Tried the 25% off shampoo voucher on 'Half Price' Herbal Essences and the same glitch happened again. Normally £3.49, a 400ml of Herbal Essences cost me 86p. Tried the 25% off deodorant coupon but it wouldn't work against a Nivea 24hr spray so the discount was done manually.

Very sensible.Cheap shower gel or "soap" as we used to call it does a very effective job at keeping you clean especially if you live in a soft water area. The chemical basis of all these products is the same and a relatively cheap commodity. Buy this stuff and you are paying a fortune for the smell and brand. Waste your money if it makes you feel better but ....think, don't be a brand nutter?Awaiting a new sig0
