EXPIRED Boots Vitamins Discount Error
Comments
-
got one lot of 6 this morning no problem...
went to another Boots this afternoon and tried 12 shots + 12 Ricolas?(1gbp each as it's also on 'herbal' products
) but got trouted!
the young male(!!) SA questioned the amount(my fault really as I miscalculated) and started asking lots of SAs/managers etc. and one manager came over and said I can only have one free shot for each 3 Ricolas! And she insisted it's what the offer says! LOL left them to it and will try a different one tomorrow
however any suggestions what to do with looaaads of spare vitamins will be very welcome

Got another dozen in Ashford store this afternoon, took a chance as there were no signs showing the shot offer but it worked as expected, also huggies wipes are scanning at £1 but have sel of £2.55 bogofMissing Tesco R&R since Feb '07 :A & now a "Tesco veteran" apparently!

checked tott h. no cheap vitamins so went to ed g found 79p and 99p so got 9 and 9 shots plus 4 deoderants and 1 no7 bodywash , used 5 pound voucher cost 2.94. Always chat nicely to SA's, distracts them
but always look bored so they just think you're nice:rotfl: grocery challenge 9.86/600 -
The free gift icon (free shot) has returned to the boots website, but is out of stock - no indication of when it will end (hopefully not soon
).
I managed to get 3+3+6+6 in 4 different stores, but also spent £20-odd.. mainly because I was initially hesitant and bought 3 lots at each store instead of 6, so the discount was less. Happy with my purchases though
Thanks a million OP!
Also, the vitamin bottles are only 1/4 full, so I've placed 3 bottles of multivitamins into one bottle, the bottles are too ugly to bear the vision of so many of them!0 -
Offer ends 14 February 2012.
Subject to availibility.

Hello all, thank you once again OP, managed to get myself a few more lots today, that's all for me now
Please can someone give me some advice though please? I'm very concerned as I have used my advantage card with all (I think) of the transactions I have completed. Has everyone else been using their card. Is there anything Boots could do?? TIA 'There are people who have money and people who are rich' :heart2: Coco Chanel0 -

No way it will last that long - either they will fix the glitch &/or remove all the stock0 -

I have used mine too, I wouldn't worry you are not doing anything wrong, you are paying what they ask you to pay for your items

Are these shots the 'boost' ones or 'revitalise', or do any make the glitch work?I Hate Jobsworths!!!0
