    There are 2 types - those that look like socks that have 1 pair in a box and those that are like pop socks and these have 2 pairs in the box.

    does anyone know if the other stuff in the 3 for £15 range http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?storeId=10052&st=specificPromo&promoName=3+for+%26%23163;15+on+selected+summer+essentials&langId=-1 is also 342. It might be worth it as I need a lot of this stuff for my holiday

    These Boots condoms are in the 3 for £15 offer and Boots brand condoms are also on 2 for £10 so there may also be a mix up instore too, if anyone fancies trying it :D

    Hi silly sausage

    When I bought mine I just got the flight socks as wasn't expecting the glitch and had no problem - I was more concerned than the SA who didn't bat an eyelid at the cost.;)

    It worked for me too, but in the second store I tried. In the first store, they were aware of the problem and tried to manually adjust the price up - so I walked away.
    In store two, I had a lovely chatty assistant who just asked me where I was going on holiday and put everything through the till. I did purchase other stuff to make it less obvious!

    Thanks OP great find!
