As ethical cosmetics and beauty products go, The Body Shop isn’t too expensive. But there’s no reason you should be paying full price.
I often use The Body Shop as I know the products won’t have been tested on animals (you can read my blog on spending and ethics here). However, I NEVER pay full price. That sometimes means I stock up on a few months worth of items, but I’ll normally save 40%.
Here’s how you can also make sure you never pay full price at The Body Shop.
Use a Body Shop voucher discount codes
It seems there is a Body Shop discount code every week. I’m not exaggerating. Every week.
You might be lucky and get 40% off, but as a minimum you should find at least 20% off.
Sometimes these codes are structured so you’ll save £20 when you spend £50, £10 when you spend £25 and so on. Unless you spend spot on the minimum amount, you’ll find you probably save more with the percentage off deals.
Most of these codes will be obvious on The Body Shop website, but check O2 Priority Moments and Voucher Cloud too.
