A savvy shopper has discovered a way to get any perfume they want to try completely free in Superdrug. Posting on the popular Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains, the shopper told of a £5 gadget that you can fill up with fragrance for free - and it’s all above board.
The woman posted: "In Superdrug, if you are running out of your favourite perfume or can’t afford the full bottle, you can buy one of these Ice Pods and they will fill it with any sample bottle of your choice. Plus when you have used it, you can wash it out and refill it with your own perfume at home."
Responses to the post were mixed, with some excited about the hack while others were sceptical. Someone posted a link to the perfume Marc Jacobs Perfect Intense and added: "5ml of this perfume is worth £6.50. The pod and fill is only £5, so it’s like getting it for free. That’s an amazing deal, if you fill it with an expensive perfume you’ll get the pod for free and the perfume cheaper!"

Another user excitingly replied: "I’m so coming in to do that with perfumes I can’t afford.” Echoing their comments, someone else said: "Oh, this is brilliant! I’m gonna get myself one as one of my perfume bottle lids snapped off."
A few deal hunters who appeared to work at Superdrug chipped in. One person remarked: “Not sure that it’s advertised that we allow you to fill them up with our testers, you will have to ask the boss. It’s only when you buy one - not refill every visit."
Tom Church, co-founder of LatestDeals.co.uk said that the rules around the Ice Pods are unclear - and it’s likely to be up to each individual store. He added: "This post has caused a lot of excitement among our members. I haven’t been able to establish whether Superdrug definitely offers a free sample of perfume if you buy an Ice Pod, if you need to buy a full-size perfume to qualify or if the offer is valid in select stores only."
"I would advise that there’s no harm in asking if you can an Ice Pod - or similar container - filled up with a sample perfume, particularly if you’re already making any purchase in-store. The worst they can do is say no!"
