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:(

hi guys i'm totally boggled by the maths

wheres the 25% off come into this calculation though, shouldn't it work out cheaper with that as well??

If you have an ACM voucher for 25% off bodywash then you will only be able to use 1 of them in this transaction so you should save an extra 90p making the total £3.30 HTH

Total price3 of goods before any deduction is £59.20

Looks like it takes off the £5.10 for the lip balm 8 times in total because of the 3 for 2 and bogof. Then it takes off 2x £3.60 and the £5 for the no7 voucher.

£59.20 minus £40.80 minus £7.20 minus £5 = £6.20 to pay!

Dont forget I could have used 25% off shower gel voucher but forgot !! so anyone trying this will get it for less.

Sorry to ask but can you do this online?

I was in Boots today and was going to do this then just thought - is it really worth it? The FCUK stuff is all overpriced in the first place. The lipbalms are £5, honestly who pays that for a lipbalm? You can get 2 Chapsticks for £1 in Poundland!
The AP and deodorants were £3.50 each for 150ml from what I remember. Yet boots have Sure 250ml on offer 2 for £4.

I'm not in anyway attacking the OP or raining on anyones parade or anything like that but just trying to encourage anyone with little money (like me!!) to have a think before they buy as when you consider the RRP of the products it's not as big a bargain as it looks.


In saying that however...

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:(:(:(

...I can't dispute this is an almighty bargain haul :rotfl:. Although again the RRP of £59 is a joke.

Do you think smaller stores will sell this range?

The small store near my work yesterday had the shower gel and body spray but no space on the shelf for lipbalms

Did you put them through the till in the order of dearest first? Why doesnt the till take off the cheapest items? Seems an odd way of doing it? Not that im complaining!
