    Im feeling really GREEDY:D

    Just in the mood to push my luck and see if i can walk out of Boots with loads of stuff for a 50p spend

    Don't think so. I worked it out (I'm a simple person!) by holding up 6 fingers for the things you buy. Put down half the fingers, as you get these for BOGOF. Then a finger down for each item you get free for 3for2. You would get 2 free with 6 items, as two sets of 3. So one finger left. Buy 6 pay for 1. If you bought 9, you would lose out, as odd numbers don't work for the BOGOF. If you bought 12, you would get 6 free for BOGOF. Then you would get 4 items free for 3for2 (4 sets of 3). Left with two to pay for. So buy 12 pay for 2. Same as buy 6 pay for 1 twice. BUT, you can't (can't or shouldn't???) use the £5 off vouchers twice in a transaction, so you might actually end up paying more (min of £6 (50p plus £5.50), rather than 50p per transaction if you had two vouchers.

    If you get a CHANGE ONE THING leaflet, the orange one called Look great there is a voucher for £1 off vitamins etc, use this.
    Then buy the multivitamins 30 pack for £1.69 and you can use the £1.00 off voucher and points voucher. Hence 69p spend .300 points and vitamin pills. The vitamin pills look like these - 000_2502.jpg. :T[/QUOTE]

    this also works with the Boots caffine strips 49p
    sold out in my local boots and the two larger
    branches in town

    Oh bad luck Sans.....which didn't work - the 250 points or the £5 voucher? Both have worked perfectly for me 6 times! :o
