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!
You can get away with using them, when I tried it last night, I didn't think they were perfumed in anyway, so you could use them. I'm a girl, and the one I opened last night now has a sticker all around the top bit, so it looks a bit more girly :rotfl:2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,0000 -

I doubled that but it came to £4.20, go figure! So maybe it's best to put them through in threes because of how the free item is deducted, if that makes sense?
Still very happy, thanks OP:D
I did this today and used the 25% voucher and it came to £2.70??
However yetserday I did 2 x lipbalms and 2 x bodywash plus 25% voucher (which didn't work) and it came to £3.60, so better value.Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
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!
Yeah, I know, but there were only 4 lip balms on the shelf, so I just took 3. I've written all the combinations down, but when you get there, its like being caught in headlights, there's no self serve and the last thing you want to do is draw attention. I'd already been to boots london colney, and there were no lip balms and no sel or sign for it, so it looked like it had been deliberately removed rather than run out. Plus the store this am was empty at 0830 am and the SA'S have all the time in the world to serve you and think about what they're putting through the till. I had to tell the sa the lip balms were free. I think if it'd gone through at £3.60 or whatever, she would have gone nuts
Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)

Thanks OP. Got this tonight at Boots Silverlink, North Shields. 3 lipbalms, a deodorant, body spray and shower wash for £2.10. There were only 4 lip balms on the shelf. Am giddy because it is my first glitch and they will make good stocking fillers for dh. Lip balms defo not worth £5.10 but even if you got them and gave them away it would save you an extra £5.10.0

I don't think they have been recalled no, what i reckon is that because like me people are doing it in groups of 6, the lipbalms are going down very quickly and so they do not restock as fast as with the FCUK deoderants etc because they usually not such a demand to re-order:D0 -
Couldnt find any today
Could one of you brilliant peeps post a pic up pleaseeeeeee

Like wise, non in my local either. In fact she said they had never had the lip balm in & couldn't understand why the sign was up.
Now thanks to Tommix & Queen Bear, now Lady Westy of Woodpecker

Not sure what happened with the pricing but yesterday in MT store in south wales i got 3 lip balms, 3 bs and 3 deos it came to £7.20 not complaining its still 80p per item but thought it would be less, i think its best to put them through in the individual groups as that would increase the discounts0
