Lynx & Nivea Shower Gels at Boots

There are a few threads regarding Lynx but couldn't find this one:

Mens Lynx shower gels are Buy one get one free at the moment but some have been reduced in my store to £1.30 instead of £2.60 and they still go through as B1G1F so that .65p each.

And selected Nivea Mens shower wash was marked down to £1

both of these were not in the reduced section, the shelf price had been marked down, hope that helps somebody .... mine went in my box towards xmas :T

    Just been into our very small boots and their's are £2.60, buy one get one free, so presumably were I to make a purchase, your tip would see them go through cheaper, but what if it didn't?.

    The Lynx range is B1G1F so you have to look to see if the shelf price has been marked down to £1.30 if they have been marked down pick up 2 because although they are reduced they are still B1G1F so that makes them .65p each.

    Hope that explains things easier.
  • Fort Kinnaird Edinburgh had this one at £1.30 SEL on Friday and BOGOF 10074413?wid=88&hei=111&op_sharpen=1

    So what if after going to till, it didn't show up as BOGOF and they asked for the full amount. There's no way I would want them at full price.

    ask for assistance; check the price before you go to the till!
