Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 4 - post your finds here

Just been trying to figure out what would happen on the till if you bought in multiples of 2 and 3 of suncare items - By buying 6 items you would have bought enough items for 3 x bogof discounts and 2 x 3 for 2 discounts to be deducted from the total of the bill...hmm:

would it work out like this ???

6 x £5.50 suncare items = £33.00
minus 3 x £5.50 for bogofs
minus 2 x £5.50 for 3 for 2's

Leaving £5.50 to pay after deductions

...then hand over your £5 no7 voucher to get all 6 items for 50p?


The theory behind this is....

No7 item £5.50
No7 item £5.50 but free on bogof (- £5.50)
No7 item £5.50 but free on 3 for 2 (- £5.50)
No7 item £5.50 but free on bogof (- £5.50)
No7 item £5.50
No7 item £5.50 but free on bogof & free on 3 for 2 (- £11.00)

Total to pay £5.50
- £5 no7 voucher = 50p

What do you think?

Edited: If you doubled up on quantities and bought 12 items that would leave £6 to pay after using £5 voucher plus you'd get another voucher & £3 hair voucher so you can start all over again :rotfl:

I was wondering this myself!! Don't have the guts to try it tho...yet!!!

i used my last one this afternoon then panicked and went into a smaller boots and bought 2 reduced botanics (2 free body butters), reduced plasters, 59p frizz ease hairspray (used £3 voucher) and it all came to £5.16 - JUST SO I COULD HAVE A VOUCHER!!

I put my Boots card in the machine today and got a voucher for half price Walkers baked crisps, which makes them 16p - not bad I thought, and they're pretty nice and less than 100 calories a bag!

Sorry if it's already been posted, I couldn't see it...
