Boots Baby suncream - get 3 pay for 1!

Boots are running two major promos at the moment:

- BOGOF on Soltan suncreams
- 3for2 on baby products

However these two can be combined by buying BABY suncream,

Meaning that you can get 3 and only have to pay for 1.

(the one i bought was £9.25 it was in a white bottle with a blue bit on the lid.)

    Not sure if I am right or not but you might actually be able to get 4 for 1 with the two deals running together.

    No.1 Bottle : £9.25
    No.2 Bottle : £0.00 (free as BOGOF to No.1 Bottle)
    No.3 Bottle : £0.00 (free as part of 3 for 2)
    No.4 Bottle : £0.00 (free as BOGOF to No. 3 Bottle)

    or if you are you really lucky you might get 6 for the price of 1. This is what happened with Right Guard last year and No.7 suncreams a couple of years ago.

    As above plus

    No.5 Bottle : £9.25
    No.6 Bottle : -£9.25 (BOGOF to No. 5 Bottle and also refunded as second 3 for 2.

    meaning you would get the 6 for the price of 1

    I've not tried this and don't have any wee kids so probably wouldn't be able to use it if I did get it but it might be worth a try.

    Something tells me there's a good glitch here. I've just tried to buy 6 online only to be told for every one I tried to add to basket that 'Unfortunately one or more of the items have been discontinued, so we are unable to process your request.'. Bit too much of a coincidence.

    Don't suppose anyone can confirm if the glitch works in store as I could be tempted to get the two little uns into the car to stock up for the summer?
  • The only one that is not OOS says that it is once you add to basket!!

    I didn't try this instore as the 3 for 2 on baby stuff specifically stated it didn't include sunscreens.

    Hi just wondered if anyone can confirm this? Or tried 6 and if that works?
  • Well as i said i bought 3 on Sunday and was only charged for 1.
    It was a member of staff who told me about it!
  • If you want to spend a bit less, I went to Superdrug today and got 3 bottles of baby suncream for £4.99 (buy one get 2 free promotion on solait suncreams) The signs said the promotion ends today.
