Boots Essentials Cucumber Wipes Glitch

Raine_E_Day

Bought 3 cucumber and 3 fragrance free packs wipes together with 3 (3 for 2) honey and jojoba shampoos. Can't make head or tail of my receipt as it's got so many multi-saves, but the total paid for all 9 items was £4.89. SA didn't get a chance to query anything as I caused a bit of distraction by having to run back to machine as I had left my reward card in it!

Thanks for posting OP!
I handed one pack to a (in my previous experience) trouty SA at my local boots and asked her to see how much 6 packs would cost. The answer was £3.97 (I had to check) so I gave her the other five to ring through. She said that there were 2 multibuys going together and was all in all very pleasant about it. As I packed my bag I said between Tesco DTD and this I've got enough wipes to last for a year! Her reply "Don't talk to me about Tesco DTD, I'm stocked up!" with a knowing laugh! And she's always seemed trouty to me before...
Could she be one of us on here lol?

Thanks OP! Just picked up 6 in Stockton on Tees, the lady who served me was the equivalent of a Tesco Trout though... She wanted to reverse the sale, but I told her a member of staff in another store, had advised me of this offer yesterday.

As I walked away, she said to her colleague "So who do I report this "problem" too???"

haha i bet i know who that one was lol dark hair?

I tried one for the first time last night - doing a test as I have had some crappy ones in the past and I am impressed! These are really good, got all my make-up off (& I wear a full face) as well as making my skin nice and soft. Will be going back and trying my luck with some more!

THats really interesting! so perhaps other bits on 3 for 2 are included in the glitch too! Im going to go today and get other bits i need too and hope for the best!!! THanks OP and everyone else who has contributed!

Edit - just looking now and wondering if this works on the Boots own brand stuff thats on the 3 for 2 - it looks like you only paid for 1 of your shampoos instead of 2 - I wonder.......

We bought 2 lots of 6 packs today, so 12 in total. Thought initially the check our lady was a trout as she spent a good 30 seconds looking at the till confused and said "They're supposed to be 3 for £3 aren't they?" before I told her yes, but a member of staff had told me about this deal yesterday. She said as long as it went through the till OK she was happy. Very happy as I was quite willing to fight for them LOL. She said she would be picking up some before she finished her shift :rotfl:
