    Thanks, I'll give it a try later, if I can find the lip balms
    Did for me!
  • No lipbalms in my local. Did notice the Toni & Guy Hair range was on 3 for £10 so tried to use the 25% Shampoo Voucher that I printed from the machine & was bluntly told that the voucher could not be used on a 3 for 2 or 3 for £10 offer!

    Did you pay just over £2.00 for the whole lot? I'm assuming that the lip blam goes through for free, as does the bath soak, as the cheapest item on 3 for 2, and after giving over the £5 voucher you pay the difference on the No 7 product.
    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/£4,000

    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:(:(:(

    Thank you so very much, printed this off and took it to boots so that I would not forget, did it without the n7 as did not have one and it all came to £5.10 which is perfect for me as now I did get a N7 voucher to use a nother time, very happy, thank you so much for taking the time to work it all out and would have done it again, only there was just 1 lipbalm on the shelves so it was not just me.

    Oh also the bodywash and body spray were £3.75 which threw me for a bit but decided to try it anyway as you had said £3.60 but still worked, the SA was absolutely speechless:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    This worked for me today, 6 items for £1.20. SA was, as above poster said, virtually speechless and floundering, studying the receipt and occasional 'but, how, what?' utterances. I saw her later directing her friend to the FCUK red range. Hope she figured it out.
  • Still working!
