i'm a bit confused with the offer.... (dont take much to confuse me!)
I plan on going to the Boots store in Cardiff (out of town) after work today.. plan is to buy 6 or 12 shots and 6 or 12 vitamins (i need em anyway).....
So buying those, and say 4 deo cans at £1.17 each and 5 bodywashes at £1.14 (total: £10.38)

Will my bill be £10.38 at the till, or does the combination of pills actually take off money reducing the bill for my showergels/deos ?

Worked for me today, there were none of the shots in my local Boots but had to go to Belfast today for work and went into the Boots at Bou*cher R*ad.

Got 3 79p vits and 3 shots, pair of earrings, hair products and No 7 for men gift bag for hubby (had to buy it at half price as will not be at this store when 75% on and none of them in my local)

Got the whole lot for £14


Well chuffed

Your bill will he less than £10 as the shots take you into a neg balance as they seem to take 4 lots of £1.99 off your bill instead of 3 for every set of 3 you buy then you pay the price of the vits out of that 1.99 credit and the rest comes off your extra shopping so depending on whAt price vits you buy you shopping spend will vary (the cheaper the vits the better)

I went into the Clapham Junction boots after my success in Clapham Common, they both had lots of shots. I had
3 pregnacare
6 shots
1 berocca
1vitamin b6
1 evening primrose oil

and paid £11.97. total saving is £24.91.

In the clapham common one I bought
3 pregnacare and 6 shots and paid£7.91, total saving is £18.88.

Well chuffed and I have now 6 months of pregnacare supply.

Oh, and none of them were self service, the ladies at the cashier didn't even look at me or the system, just told me the total.

Guys one thing I will say to you all is, stop going too cheap! Anything under a qiuids balance and some of you are suprised tyou are being trouted! Lol come on, all very well on ss, but alot of these staff members dont seem happy to let us have the mega saving. Just saying.

I hear what you're saying but the SA that trouted me only got as far as scanning in the vitamins then started on the shots before getting as far as 3 shots out of 6 and noticing a 'problem'. She then voided, scanned in 3 vits, 3 shots and tried telling me it was 1 shot per 3 vits. The SA can see the total running up on screen so unless you manage to get them to scan the expensive things first to hide the running total, there's a good chance they will notice regardless of what else you buy. Whether the SA does anything about is another matter! I've had 5 transactions now and only trouted on one so a pretty good ratio considering no ss tills near me.

Found one! C*nterbury city centre store has self scans, not that its much use to anyone now (unless they restock the shelves LOL)

Got another 2 lots of 12 this morning, used points on self scan machine so got a massive bag of shopping for £1.32s worth of points! :rotfl:
