Price Glitch - Boots FCUK mens toiletries

Zebulette

In my excitement at seeing 6 lipbalms on the shelf this morning (only ever found 1 until now) I picked them all up and stupidly only got 5 FCUK products and 1 x N°7 one to use with my voucher, so I think I ended up actually paying for one of the lipbalms as I didn't have an extra FCUK product to make it free - it cost me £5.10, imagine that!!!
At least I think it did!! I am not sure as cannot work it out (had other shopping too)....receipt not very easy to follow

If I take off the rest of my shopping I got 6 x lipbalm (5.10 each) 5 x deodrant (3.75 each) and 1 x n°7 (8.25 - 5.00 voucher = 3.25) total £9.40 so did I pay for the extra lipbalm?

Hope you all manage to find some - I've been searching for the past week so was thrilled to finally find some, even if my brain went to mush in the excitement and I didn't get the best deal I could have had!

I got the deal although there weren't many lip balms left so didn't work as well as it could have. Could have got it cheaper (and got another product) if there had been 2 more lipbalms.

4 Lipbalms
2 bodysprays
2 Deodorants
1 Bodywash

Total to pay £5.70

So yes you did pay for one of the lip balms. If you had picked up one more product though you would not have got the 3 for 2 offer as would have had 13 items however you would have spent £3.60 or so and saved £5.10 e.g £1.50 less.

Thank you!
I have been trying to work it out but got a headache, the way the 'link save' deductions are grouped at the bottom of the receipt didn't make it clear if the 6th had been taken off as it lists all 6 along with the 4 of the 5 deodrants!

My friend has just text me and he got the following!

9 lip balms
9 deodants

Total £6.30 :eek:

I did last night and to be honest they don't appear to be any better than the normal stick lipbalms you buy for a lot cheaper - they certainly don't taste of anything. If I wanted a lip balm and had to pay for it I wouldn't spend £5.10 on this one.

I've opened one, but still got another 6!

Out of stock in our store - always has been !! I go in everyday -(cause of the lego) But they did have reduced ted baker and addidas shoer gels/b.o stuff to £1. So got 3 and used the 25% off and the 243 kicked in too. So not so bad. Oh and I swaped my old skincare product - bodyshop - lol - for some free clinique eye makeup remover and mascara .

Thank you! I agree, never spent £5.10 on a lipbalm in my life (until my mix-up today lol)

Was just wondering if they were perfumed to suggest they were for men, or if I can get away with using them too!
