Hello

Today I went to Boots and used my card at the machine to see what vouchers were available. One of them is buy any 3 dental items (excluding trave size or electrical) and get 250 points.

At the moment there are lots of 3 for 2s and also the cheapest toothpaste is 70p so you can get 3 tubes of toouthpaste for £2.10 and get 258 points! I printed the coupon out a few times and stocked up!

  • I got 3 listerine mouthwash reduced from £2.14 each to £1.07. I also got a 10 per cent off which came off original price. So paid £2.90 ish for 3 and got 250 points.

    Have to say my oh got offer but i who use boot a lot didn't. Annoys we that boots have better offers every time for those who don't spend much.

    Our machine has been changed to stop you printing multiple coupons- very annoying.

    I had 2 cruddy offers on Wednesday- hopefully this one will appear as I need to top-up mu points! And funny enough someone just recommended Boots toothpaste to me.

    So I take it this points coupon and 3 for 2 dental works together, or do you need to buy 4 dental items so you pay for 3? Sorry I can't work out how 70p and £2.40 work together!

    I didn't try the 3 for 2 as I went for the cheaper toothpastes. So don't know if they worked together,sorry.

    Thanks OP, just worked for me.

    Also don't forget the other almost freebie - a favourite of mine. Boots own brand shaving foam is £1.05 and you can print off a 100 points with any shaving product coupon so it only costs you 5p once you take points into consideration.

    All in all a great way to boost up those points for xmas while getting stuff you need anyway.

    Have you got a huge Boots points total? I am working on a theory that you only get good offers like this if your toal is over £100. I have about £5 so I only get the 15% shower gel and 10% x type of offers :D

    I would love to get the 100 points shave gel - always running low on this

    I've never had a big boots total, i've only got £9 odd now and I got the 'good' offers, so don't know what the 'criteria' is HTH
