    didn't you know? everytime you buy a cucumber from a supermarket you must wipe it with a cucumber wipe! even the half-chopped ones!

    Thanks OP. I got some funny looks as I ran around the Manchester piccadilly store carrying 6 packets of facewipes. People must have thought I was stocking up for the apocalypse!

    Just brought 6 cucumber also bought 3 lots of toothpaste and 3 lots of shampoo - all on offer at 3 for 2. After working it all out the 6 packs of wipes only cost 2.95! Don't understand why but not complaining!

    The Huggies cucumber baby wipes are on offer in Tescos at the moment at 64p for 64. Ive never tried the boots ones so wouldn't know what the difference is but I would recomment the Huggies. I dont have a baby and use them on my face.

    Worked for me too! Got 3 packs of blue and 3 packs of green! SA did look a bit confused, but I waited for her to press the total button and - yay!

    Thank you for that one!

    Yes, me too - might try again tomorrow. I always wait for the No7 vouchers for their face wipes as they are amazing but normally priced at £7.99 (:eek:) so pay £1.99 but this is a bargain!
