    Maybe it took off the 3 for 2 offer first before taking off the lip balm?

    Total cost £59.20
    3 for 2 on the shower gel - £21.60 - £7.20 = £14.40

    Total after 3 for 2 = £44.80

    Discount balm = £44.80 - 30.60 = £14.20

    Number 7 = -5

    Total - £9.20

    I give up! :rotfl:

    Are the lip balms the freebies and also the most expensive item for the 3/2s?
    No thats still £9.20

    Beachie you have 3x 3/2s should be 4x 3/2s
  • Ive worked out how it came to £6.20:beer:!!!

    6 lipbalm @ £5.10
    3 bodywash @ £3.60
    3 bodyspray @ £3.60
    1 No7 hair & bodywash @ £7
    Total of all products £59.20

    Boots does 342 in lots of 3 similar priced or same priced items not cheapest free. So you would have 342 grouped in this way.

    3 lipbalm £15.30 (takeaway 342) = £10.20
    3 lipbalm £15.30 (takeaway 342) = £10.20
    3 bodywash £10.80 (takeaway 342) = £7.20
    3 bodyspray £10.80 (takeaway 342) = £7.20
    1 No7 hair & bodywash £7 (takeaway £5 No7 voucher) = £2.00

    Then the till has taken off the price of 6 lipbalms even though 2 of them were free anyway in the 342 so (takeaway £30.60)

    So total of products £59.20
    Total of discounts £53.00
    Total to pay £6.20:beer::beer:

    Amazing!!!!!!!!!
    Bet they have no lipbalms left in my little Boots by the time I get there:(:(:(

    So if we dont buy the No7 item, we should pay £4.20 for 12 fcuk items. Is that right?

    I thought it would be £3.60 for fcuk items - depends whether I feel brave enough to try it as the store I can go to tomorrow has some SA trouts - lol!

    I have just looked online and to clarify delivery to store (as mentioned in an earlier post) free when order is over £20 or £1.95 under £20. It is £2.95 for home delivery under £45, free over £45.
    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

    Nursing is a work of heart by angels in comfortable shoes!!! :)

    Do you think smaller stores will sell this range?

    It should be £4.20 for the 12 FCUK items without the No7 item.
    I would love to go get this tomorrow, as that would be most of the males I need to buy for xmas sorted, but I just dont think its worth the 30min train ride with 2 kids and the train fare to get there and find the shelves bare:(
