Do Boots price match? And if not can I get a refund?

Bought some baby bottles yesterday for £18, only to find out today that Asda are selling the exact same pack for £8 . I should have known better :mad:

So the question is, do Boots price match?

    No they don't price match. But if you have your receipt and they are in the orginal packaging you can get a refund

    yeah but sadly I opened and used the item in this case :mad:

    bit peeved off at the cheek of Boots though. I knew they can be expensive but at twice the price ?? :mad:

    I think what roxiegriff is suggesting is go to Asda pay the £8 and then take those bottles back to Boots for a refund?
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    Don't go blaming the store.

    You paid the price as advertised. Were you held at knife point or something?


    Doing what has been suggested is Fraud.

    I've never done this with a different store but have with the same one - in fact bought a TV from curry's online and it went down in price the day I received it so rang them up and said could they possibly refund the difference or I would return and re-order and they refunded but not sure even I'm cheeky enough to buy from one store and return to another :D
    ;) If you think you are too small to make a difference, try getting in bed with a mosquito!
