Price Glitch - Boots FCUK mens toiletries

1568101126

Comments

  • 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:(:(:(

    Well how surprised was I to get to my little boots today and find they had 6 lipbalms on the shelf!!!! I really thought they wouldve sold out by today! There was only 1 bodywash though so I got that 3 bodysprays and 2 bath soaks. Did it in 2 seperate transactions using the 25% off vouchers (wasnt sure if voucher would work on the bath soak but it did!) and paid £1.20 for each set of 6! Soooo happy!!!!:j

    Also noticed SELs for reduced S&G mens items but the shelves were bare and cant remember what they were or prices sorry. If anyone finds these they will prob be in the 342!
    Also bought a few Imperial Leather shower gels reduced to 40p so just 30p with the 25% off coupon!! There were a few diff ones, mens and womens.
    HTH
  • paid £1.20 for each set of 6! Soooo happy!!!!:j

    Yay! That's amazing :j Does that work out cheaper buying 6 at a time instead of 3 because of the 6 free lip balms? Just trying to get my head round that :)
    So so SO tired of being ripped off, and mislead
    Hope sharing saves some pain.
  • No lip balms left at 0xf0rd retail park today :mad:

    Thank for this OP. Nice xmas pressies for the men. Each set of three body washes and three lip balms with 25% voucher came to £1.20.

    only 3 lip balms in my local, got 2 body washes and one bodyspray total £1.75,

    how come you guys paid £1.20 is it because you got 3 bodywashes, does the coupon take the 25% off all three of them?

  • Thanks OP for this, ive pretty much got bits for ALL the men in my family for xmas pressies! SO chuffed.

    Also, not sure if anyone has mentioned this but in K3tt3ring store, its free lipbalm with ANY FCUK product, not just the red ones which i initially thought.

    HTH :)

    Only 1 lip balm on shelf and none out back at Worthing Town branch. Was told lots avaiable on boots.com and could order in. As you pay at time in branch expected to put an order in with selected washes and sprays to get deal, but does not discount with .com items and nearly fell over at sight of high bill, which I had to cancel.
    Still 1 x lip balm and 2 x body wash for 2.70p inc disc coupon, was not too bad.

    Has anyone in NI had any luck. I tried my local today and they confirmed through their tills that the offer is on over here (free lipbalm an dthe 3 for 2) but they don't stock the lipbalm. Don't want a wild goose chase but would really appreciate a heads up if anyone can let me know a store in or around Belfast please.

    I did this 3 times today (thanks OP!) but now reading everyone's comments for today, I wish that I'd just put it through in one transaction because I'd have paid even less than the £9.80 I did pay!
    Couldn't get the ACM to work at all and didn't have a No7 voucher so no deals there. Also couldn't remember the No7 part of the glitch :o.
    Part of the boys Christmas presents sorted though :).
    I would go to my local one (I tried this in the B*th one) but we don't have self scanners :(

    Yesterday I got a deo, body spray and a shower gel and 3 lip balms and it came to £2.10 (would have been £1.20 with the 25% off (takes this off one item - hence 90p)).

    It seems to be that depending on the variations of the fcuk range you buy it depends on the price you pay i.e some have paid £2.10, £1.72, £1.75.

    Although whichever of the above prices you end up paying it is excellent as it less than the cost of one original item:rotfl:

    In my local today there was a sign up saying free lipbalm but in the one I went into yesterday there were no signs. Neither SA queried it and just told me the amount to pay.
    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
