Small Boots *glitch* on suncream

Hey,
Not posted any deals or glitches before but doesn't seem as though anyone has spotted this so hopefully it'll be of use to someone! I grab lots of bargains on here so I'm repaying all the good deeds!!
Boots are doing 5 for 4 on all travel size toiletries but Soltan suncream is BOGOF... I got 5 travel sized suncreams for around £11 instead of the £22 it should have been on 5 for 4. It's the 75ml sprays which are £5.29 for SPF15, £5.49 for SPF30 and £6 odd for the "once" stuff.
Hope this helps - great for hand luggage as they're under the 100ml limit which is what I needed them for! :o

Edit: Yinster has just pointed out that buying 6 may result in paying the same price as it would have been completely free. Not tried it but no reason why it wouldn't work!

    Am I right in saying this is in store only? Have looked online and can only find the BOGOF deal....

    Did you try to buy six of them to see if the sixth would be completely free?
