    I never knew about this! So, after this will customers still be prepared to pay full price at Boots for these products. I won't buy something that I now know I could have bought for £1!!!


    Totally agree with this, what a waste of money.

    I'm sure it's the same with hundreds of products (bottled water especially) - same product, different label, different price

    Why bring it to the media's attention. I can see the point if someone is getting ripped off - but people who knew about it were getting a bargain. Now, the chances are it'll be stopped.

    Well done MSE, a genuine bargain so you rush off to tell Boots how clever you are, next thing you know the bargain is gone.

    Give yourself a pat on the back !!!!!! :-) Perhaps we should all just email each other with bargains to stop Martin running off to tell the suppliers how great he is
