I wonder if this glitch is over? Only 3 shots left but I was charged 1.99 for 3. I seem to remember this being posted as free earlier. Gotta go back to work but Will check later.

You have to buy vitamins as well as the shots are only free with vitamins.

I just bought 6x shots, 4x multi vit, 1x cod liver oil and 1x fish oil, along with

2x swim nappies at £3.95 a pack
2x baby stock cubes at £1.55 a pack

and the total was £8.59.

The nappies and stock cubes should have been £11 exactly on their own, so the glitch on the shots saved me £2.41 off them, whilst also getting the shots and vitamins free!!!

Think I'll be giving this a go tomorrow lunch time. Need a bit of a vitamin boost.

Really hope they have these in my local tomorrow as I've been reading this thread all week praying it's still working each day as Friday is earliest I can get to town.

Just got trouted in my Boots - probably my own fault as my total was a bit low - it was 50p!

That was my 6 vits and 6 shots plus a couple of other items. She wouldn't let me have it at that price and said it would need to be sorted and I must have got the wrong ones. Showed her the big advert showing the shots - i.e. not the wrong ones and she said I can put them through as free but not with your other stuff. I said I'd leave it as run out of time today!

In my experienc Boots rarely fix these sort of glitches - they tend to run as long as the promo does. Anyone been around on here long enough to remember the free handwash from about 3 years ago? That was bogof plus a voucher in the ACM which gave you money off your shopping and lasted for weeks!

Another lot of nine shots and vits this morning at hempstead valley made up shopping with huggies wipes (scanning at £1 instead of £2.55 bogof) and some toothbrushes to get the extra 250 points.

Darted to Boots in my lunchbreak.

6 x 79p vitamins (only had vitamin C variety - 30 tablets per tub)
6 x £1.99 shots (3 of each flavour)
meal deal for £3.29 containing:
chicken wrap (£2.60 if bought alone)
500ml diet coke
Rumblers cereal and yoghurt pot (£1.25 if bought alone)
3 x 250ml mouthwash (2 x £1.09 + 1 x £1.27) - used ACM spit of buy 3 mouthwash get 250 points
ACM till spit of £1 off £5 spent on healthcare (it must use original prices before offers)
and I had a coupon (sent to my home a couple of weeks ago probably through signing up via facebook) to get a pot free of Rumblers - so they keyed in the £1.25 price of the individual pot even though I had it as part of meal deal.

Final money handed over was £1.68 and would have got 250 points (Is that £2.50 worth?) and a very tasty BBQ wrap which i've never tried before (7 Weightwatcher Pro Points!) but will definetly buy again on a meal deal.

When bill came to £3.29 (before i presented The Rumblers voucher and £1 off a £5 healthcare coupons) the SA (trout age group) did look quizically and comment whether that was right. I said there were offers on things kicking in, which she seemed to accept.

Thanks to whomever on this thread (who I thanked when I read their post) that mentioned about the mouthwash ACM coupon and someone else who mentioned the £1 off with the £5 healthcare ACM coupon (When I checked for coupons last weekend I'd seen both these offers for me but had ignored them as didn't learn about this glitch until yesterday evening)
