    whats the deal with the sweets?

    if you can't find the cheap vits, these sweets also work with the free shots, they are also on 342, and they are reduced to £1 a pack at the moment.

    Is it best to buy 6 vit and 6 shot or 12 vit and 12 shot, I get the part about not going into neg balance, but was wondering if the amount over 6 made a difference. Thanks.

    That's odd. The ACM vouchers always worked on any card in the past. This must be something new. Same with the amount of ACM vouchers you can print off. At one time you could print off loads of the same voucher, but the finger trick doesn't work any more. You are lucky if you manage to print off 2 of any one voucher!

    Tip for all Bootsers - Read every word that sally06 posts, several times, because she's awesome! :A You've saved me a fortune over the years, sally! :T Remember those purple boxes with Twiggy on the front? :rotfl:Happy Days!

    I'm not sure if this replies to my question or someone else's, but I was on the SS till, and buying other items. So if it hadn't worked, I would've had to call someone over to void. I didn't feel up to that today. And I wasn't buying enough to get "minus". So maybe you weren't talking to me, lol.

    Hi skibster:wave:, hope you're well. No it definitely wasn't in reply to your question, it was a name I hadn't seen before, I forgot to quote, and it might have been half a dozen pages back! Someone was asking what to do if a glitch doesn't work. Er, if something doesn't work for me on an SS till, I just return the stuff to the basket, and, um, slink off.:o

    was in a north london boots, when woman shouted out " but it says so on Martin Lewis' website...."

    hid behind shelf and proceded to take shots and vitamins out of basket.

    Composed myself went to till with 3 and 3 and no 7 moisturiser. Handed over voucher. Total 3.99. Young SA never said a word.


    Newbies and lurkers, there needs to be a training thread for you.

    Maybe she was looking for clinique:mad:

    it's best to go for 15!

    see my post below from another thread!!

    Went to big blue swedish furniture retailer in MK today, stopped off at the nearby B0ots and got another 15 shots, 15 vits and 5 nivea shaving gels for £9.99!:j

    Only had 6 pots of the cheaper vit pots so got some Boots effervescent vit C tabs x 9 @ £2.55

    it took 8 x £1.99 off the bill (£15.92), multisave x 3 @ £1.99 + 3 for 2 x 5 @ £1.99,

    it takes an extra £1.99 off the bill for every 5 shots you "buy" plus the 3 for 2 ,

    so best to buy in groups of 3 and 5, 15 for max discount!

    Met another MSE'r in there, who seeing my basket asked if there were any left and are you from MSE! there was another 6-10 left but none of the cheap vits unfortunately!

    Hope you found some bargains and Hi if your reading this!! :wave:

    total saving £62.50!!

    the young sa was gobsmacked at the amount I had got for the price!! "blimey you are stocking up"

    If I get 15 shots + 15 vitamins @79p each, how much credit do I have?

    I want to stock up on my shampoo@99p each. So how many shampoos can I buy to use up the credit?

    I reckon that would give you £4.07 credit!

    15 x 0.79 = 11.85 - 15.92 = £4.07....

    you need at least 5 x .99p shampoos to bring you in to positive balance but I would go for a few more else the SA may query such a low total!!:D
