FREE echinacea worth £6.95 at Boots.

This is a Boots Advantage Card machine offer. Popped my card in today and there was a voucher for the above product FREE when you buy any Boots own brand cold or cough product.

Well I needed some cold tablets (£1.49) anyway and have never had Echinacea before nor knew its value. Hunted it down and saw the price (£6.95) and thought that can't be right.

Took it to the till and the cashier scanned it, I said 'thats a good buy' and she agreed saying it was correct.

If you purchase Echinacea then this is a fab way to save a couple of quid.

    I got that too!
    Echinacea is great I use it and swear by it anyway so a real bonus- I got the effervescent variety- tastes like fanta!
    If you feel a cold coming on take some or if you spend time with someone or work with someone whos coughing n sneezing all over you- take it to keep the bugs away and give your immune system a boost!

    Well anything for free is good :j but the level of active ingredient in the Boots product means it's more likely to have a psychosomatic effect than anything truly beneficial.

    Many thanks for the tip jennalicious! :beer:

    Got this offer too, and was wondering whether it would work with Boots aspirin or paracetamol. ;)

    My coupon for this offer is valid until 24th October. I printed it yesterday, and hope to be able to use it/to find the product in stock before the expiry date.

    The last time I printed a coupon and the freebie was not in stock (very disappointed :(), I emailed Boots about this, and got a very nice email back, along with some even nicer bonus points for the inconvenience. ;)

  • I tried to get my with boots paracetamol and it didn't work. They sent me over to the pharmacy counter when it didn;t work and the lady on there said it is a pain relief remedy not a cold and flu product
