Glamour Mag £2 - with 2 free bottles of Herbal Essences and Green & Blacks choc

Not sure if it's technically a Grabbit, but here goes...

This month's Glamour magazine comes with 200ml bottles of Herbal Essences Fruit Fusions shampoo and conditioner (one bottle of each, about £3.50 total in Boots) and a single-serving bar of Green & Blacks chocolate (which again is I think about 60p).

The shampoo and conditioner aren't attached to the mag, you just help yourself - in WHSmiths the bottles were just lined up on a stand. I don't know what would happen if you bought it in a supermarket or whether it would scan for free with the mag and would work in conjunction with any 3 for 2 offers or anything?

The mag is £2 and has at least 2 free sachet samples of stuff inside as well, and a couple of perfume testers, and it's a ok read as well, so not bad really.

Not exactly bargain of the century but I hope someone finds it helpful. :)

    NO! I bought my copy today in Mr T's. There was nothing to say you get a free shampoo and conditioner with the mag? Is this offer only available at WHS?

    I grabbed this today - only bought the magazine because it has an offer for 20% off Dune Shoes in it! Was gobsmacked when I got given some shampoo and conditioner, then found the free chocolate bar inside as well - yippeee!!

    This was WH Smiths in Reading station so I guess it must be a WHS-only promo. Love it!:D

    rats walked past smiths today too! thanks will go tomorrow.
  • Sure I've just read a post on here earlier that said that WHSmith was knocking a £1 off certain mags next week and Glamour was one of those listed. Wonder if the shampoo freebie will still be around then. :rolleyes:

    Smiths in Poole didnt show any evidence of the shampoo although mag shrink wrapped with the choc. I didn't buy it though so I suppose shampoo may have been behind the till?
  • Tried to get this deal in WHS in Sutton Coldfield with no joy. I was refferedm to customer service and a very kind lady rang her manager, the newspaper distribution centre and shop support and as you may have guessed no-one knew anything about the offer. She even asked if it was a regional offer but was told that it wasn't an offer in any WHSmiths. Grab it while you can.
