    maybe im just thick ! but i dont get this !!
    im new to the forum so please be gentle

    so if i buy three shower gels will it work !!

    Buy 3 shower gels and 3 lip balms for it to work. And as someone already mentioned you need a lip balm for every item you buy as then the lipbalms are free and buying 6 items works well as the 3 for 2 offer kicks in twice ending with the ridiculous amount to pay. HTHs

    Worked ok for me just now,3 deodorants and 3 lip balms for £2. 40, SA was very confused by the calculations on screen lol, asked if they were clearance items! Changed subject by asking for a 5p carrier which she didn't charge for in her state of confusion :j

    I went into town this a.m. to get the free lego and tried this. It wasn't cheapy cheap, but still a good deal. I got the following all fcuk :

    3 x lip balm (3 x £5.10)
    2 x deo (£3.90 and £3.75)
    1 x shampoo (3.99)
    3 x body wash's (£3.90, £3.60 and £3.60)

    Total to pay £9.16

    Its only a small local boots and as there was no-one on the tills, I had to go to the beauty counter where the sa is a little bit trouty, even with this total she was pulling faces and frowning. I used a 25 % off coupon, but it only took 98p off one of the body washes. She then gave me a £5 off coupon which I immediately spent on mens no.7. They have helpfully labelled all the no 7 stuff with the price to pay after using the coupon. And I got over 100 boots points with a double points coupon
    Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)

    Hiya Not a bad deal, but if you had bought another 3 lip balms you would have saved quite a bit more money and had more products. It works best if you buy the same amount of lip balms as shower gels etc.. so if you had bought another 3 lip balms with your body washes you would have saved another £5.10 on top, crazy the way it works but brilliant deal. Maybe get some more when you next shop, happy days!

    agree...except she wouldve saved another £15.30,not £5.10 as it deducts the amount per lipbalm...so if she got another 3 it wouldve taken another 3 off....and been a really good deal!!
    hoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!

    Been dying to try this all week, at last went into Boots today and got 25% of shower gels out of machine, went to FCUK aisle and couldn't for the life of me remember what you had to buy and how many of each, had a complete blank and left my piece of paper with it all on at home, so I walked out with nothing. Oh well, mayb try again at the weekend, hopefully still working then.

    Indeed, although the bill would be slightly more before reductions the discount would be more so wouldnt be another £15.30 off the amount above. She would pay £5.19 for the same products and 3 additional lip balms!
