Price Glitch - Boots FCUK mens toiletries
Comments
-
I tried the following on the basis that it should be Bogof for the lip balm and also 3 for 2 on mens' toiletries
3 anti perspirant deodorants (£3.60 each)
3 body washes (£3.60 each)
6 fcuk lip balms (£5.10 each)
also added a No7 men's hair & body wash (£7) for which I was using a No7 £5 off voucher.
I got the lot for £6.20 :j
It could potentially have been cheaper as a) I forgot to use the shower gel voucher and b) I should have added another lip balm and another fcuk item cos the no7 is part of 3 for 2 as well I think? may have ended up paying a little more though but I wouldn't have minded that at all for the items I had
Another thought just now, would No7 3 for 2 and mens' toiletries 3 for 2 work together on 3 no7 mens' items??? making one item free, the second item also free and £5 voucher taken off the price of the third item - leaving xx to pay depending on the cost of the third item!
I was going to have "left my bank card at home" if the price had come to too much when i was ready to pay
I hope this all makes sense and is useful to someone x0 -
yeah works only 2 lips left in mine tho, would be better with multiples of three...

Thanks Toffeeapple! :T Went in this evening and got the body wash, deoderant and lip balm for £2.70 (I also used my card to get the 25% off shower-gel print out).
And BOBBIs MUMMY the lip balm is in a plastic packet, inside you can see a cylindrical chapstick type red balm and a red lanyard to go with it.

thanks for this...i'm going to try it tomorrow...although i might be being stupid but for the life of me I cant work out how you got that lot for £6.20
hoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!0 -
No i cant work it out neither:cool:0

Me neither!! The cheapest I got it was £9.20!! And the question about No 7 mens = how would you get 2 free items?
Edit - just worked out the No 7 one!!! Buy a No 7 item as the expensive one, lip balm and an fcuk item, then get the cheap item free, the lip balm free and the No 7 with £5 off which could make it about £2 for 3 items (If I am correct?). But I still am puzzled about the whole lot for £6.20!No buying toiletries challenge - possibly for most of 2011,2012,2013,2014,2015!
£1 in sealed pot for each UU (2011 135/500:D) 2012 have UU 130/400 (never realised I had a mini chemist under my bed!!!) :rotfl:2013 UU 156/350. 2014 UU 197/250 2015 UU 16/100
