  • didnt manage to get anymore vouchers this afternoon in diff store but will try again tomorrow in another diff store and will pinch my mums card and try the repetitive pushing of the print button - think it must work as I tried it this afternoon on the royal jelly voucher and got 9 out ( dont even need them but just wanted to see if it worked!);)

    Thanks OP, I frantically pressed the button but it only printed 3 - I clearly don't have the knack! But I got the 99p vits & 200 points much to the displeasure of the battle-axe till assistant!

    I tried again in my local and only got 2 again despite pressing loads of times. :p
    I've got some multivitamins and chewable vitamin C tablets now. Might try some cod liver oil next.

    What's the knack then? Do we need to give the machine half a second or something between each button-press to give it time to register?
    I bet Boots people will realise this glitch with being able to print off more than 1 voucher and change it soon.
  • Went to my local Boots today and printed off 20 vouchers. There was only one 99p Vitamin C left on the shelf but I am not complaining. 200 points for 99p spend - thanks OP!

    I just repeatedly (and frantically!) pressed the print button.

    I bought the vitamin C's today, packed all my shopping away then handed over the voucher.
    SA didn't seem to mind.
    I have one more voucher so will try again with some more vit c's, don't want to buy the multivitamins as I'm already taking some prenatal ones so don't want to overdo it

    Hi,

    Can you tell me what the energy tabs were called & what they look like? I have a few Vit vouchers to use up & want to know what I am looking for! ;)
    Thanks in advance

    They are in a green tube called Effervescent re-energise tablets 10 in a tube Berry flavour. I tried to add a pic on here but it is asking for a URL addy, can we not upload from pc ?

    By the way, did you know that the cotton wool is on offer in Boots the large size roll 500g......... 5 rolls for £5........ £1 a roll , usual price £2.79.......I know it's a lot of cotton wool but it won't go off and can be stored.

    Not all the branches have the sign up just take it to the till and it works but not sure how long for it was working today. This offer is on line also. Plus you get the skin care voucher in store as well :j

    I thouht i'd take up this offer as I have to take vitamins normally, I purchased the ones for Immune Health, thought i'd try a different type. So I get the 'Vitamin C & Rosehip' just realised you have to chew them, done it and they're HORRIBLE :(!
