  • I'm pleased with all the free stuff I've got, given the fortune Boots has saved me it seems cheeky to want more!

    :eek: I also think that returning things is taking it a bit far!! and could bring this site into disrepute with ideas like that being tossed around!!
  • Hi,

    Looks like the boots in dundee have stoped stocking the under £5 products.....they are always out of stock tried a few times

    To the above, the suggestion is a way to help those who've not really been able to take advantage of the TD offer because the shelves have already been cleared by others.

    I've deliberately posted it a few days before the offer ends so it's of little use to those still hoarding hundreds of vouchers.

    I know everyone has their own take on what's "going too far" but have no desire to start a morality debate. :)

    :p Yes I agree with freebie junkie, no harm meant.XXXX
  • Just been into the Croft Est. Boots in Bromborugh, they had the revitalising mask reduced to £3, got 1, wife was also in the store at the pharmacy, so I picked up 1 for her & another 1 for me. They 1st SA was following me around wherever I went like I was a thief. When I went to the pharmacy counter to pay she followed me over & 'reminded' the SA that it is only 1 coupon per person, cheeky *****
    The 2nd SA didn't know I had already 'bought' a jar so she accepted 1 for me & 1 for my wife.

    Anyway there were still about 7 or 8 jars left on the reduced shelves if anyone is local

    Do boots then resell these returned products?

    I am unhappy at the thought that I might be buying body lotion or any other product that someone else had returned.
    For instance the TD body lotion has just a screw top on the bottle, anyone could have tampered with the contents.

    Agree with OP's I could not be bothered to return and also it seems dishonest.
