Aqueous cream tubs

Does anyone know if you can ask the pharmacist to put on a different top to the aqueous cream tubs? The ones I get are really hard to open as they are sealed and even the lid struggles to come off. Hope someone knows. :o

    I don't know about that, but just wanted to say that I saw large tubs of Aqueous cream in B&M today for 99p if that is of any help, don't whether this is how cheap it usually is but it seemed a good buy. Didn't inspect the lid.
  • Thanks! I think tubs are usually around the £2 mark so that is a bargain. Sorry to sound thick but what is B & M?
  • It looks like my kind of store but none near me. Shame they don't sell online.

    Have you got a home and bargain near you? as these also do the big tubs for 99p...a screw lid too the same one sells in superdrug for £2.99 ;)
  • Just went to their website and no they aren't near me unfortunately.

    I would be more than happy to get it and sent it to you. Unfortunately I know they advise that its best not to give your address out, but perhaps I could send it to one of your local shops or newsagent. Or maybe other poster’s have a better idea where I could sent it to?:confused:

    I used to work for a pharmaceutical wholesalers so I’m sure I would be able to pick up a couple of freebie’s for you (after all it is the season of Goodwill) I’ll also ask about replacing the tops or transferring it into another container that’s more suitable for you.

  • Thanks Gerry that is very kind of you. Only thing is I need the cream regularly and postage costs would negate any savings. It would be great if you could find out if the chemist will transfer the contents to another tub or changing the lid. Thanks!
  • They have great big tubs of Aqueous Cream in my local pound shop, so perhaps yours does, too
