    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 :D

    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 :o

    I hope this all makes sense and is useful to someone x

    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. ;)

    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

    Here is my working out.

    Total cost £59.20
    3 FOR 2 = £3.60 X 3 = -10.80
    Free Lip Balm = 5.10 x 6 = -30.60
    Number 7 = -5

    Total cost = £12.80

    I couldn't get it any cheaper. :mad:
