Free Vitamin C with only 99p purchase as Boots

Buy any Cold or Flu medicine at Boots and get tub of 200mg Chewable Vitamin C tablets free.

Cold or flu medicine does not include cold "sweets" like Lockets and Tunes, but you can get Boots cold and flu lemon drink powder or tables for 99p, reduced from £1.99 to get the free vit C.

Which mean you spent 99p on £3.74 worth of products. It's well worth it looking at the weather forecasts for this winter.

    A lot of own brand cough syrup is down to 99p as well, as husband bought some this afternoon and got the free vit c.

    Not sure who I can give this to as I drink OJ everyday.

    is this in shop only or online also?
  • I posted about this yesterday, because I had bought two lots of cough mixture, cold & flu tablets each at reduced to 99p with three lots of vitamin tablets for free. This was part of a larger shop, but this bit then came to £1.24 because the vitamin tablets are on 3 for 2.

    I bought lemon flu sachets yesterday on offer at 99p. Sadly missed the free vitamin c bit. Will need to stock up! However there was a coupon in the machine giving 50 points. It stated that it was for extra strength sachets (which are more expensive - £2.99 I think). I tried my luck and it went through with the ordinary sachets. This means that flu sachets and vitamin c really on work out at 49p for both.

    What about the 3 or 4 points you get anyway for spending 99p? That makes it 45-46p including all the points ;)

    So if you combine diamond57 and Prudent's tips, you could get 3 cold remedies and 3 vitamins for £1.22 plus 50 points plus 4 points! I'm off to Boots... :D

    I'll move this over to Shop but don't drop then so they can be merged

    as Martin says in the rules "we prefer not to have threads duplicated on the boards as this creates confusion" :)
