HP Photosmart Printer £74.99 Boots

I have just ordered this little photo printer for my parents for Xmas it has been reduced to half price and when I looked on price runner and Amazon its selling for £173. As its triple points and there is also a 1000points voucher for a £75 spend I added a basic toothpaste for 20 odd pence and collected 1902 in points making it a £56 bargain.

Forgot to go through quidco shucks! :mad:

    Although it is a good buy (with all the triple points etc), the cartridges are quite expensive - better to use online photo printing e.g. snapfish in my opinion.

    Staples have a number of HP Photosmart printers for £39.91 and £49.91. I think 325, 425 and a number in between were mentioned

    ok...via quidco for 6.5% back, then i used the 10% discount code, plus it was triple points, then I used the code as suggested above to get the extra bonus 1000 points, then there is free delivery - so the £49.50 is the total if you take off the cash value of the boots points

    Ok, I am using Quidco so get the 6.5 %, I use the 10% code and get 900 points, but when I use the 1000 points code it takes the 10% code away?

    What am I doing wrong?

    No one seems to be taking this up???
    :confused:
  • I have, but i think the general consensus is that its still cheaper to use the online services and have the pictures posted to you in a couple of days than pay for ink/paper
