Just went to do this at Colliers Wood, and the lady on the Pharmacy wouldn't let me have the deal:(.

Same thing happened to me this mornig in Camden (Pharmacy again). Would only let me have 1 free shot per 3 vitamins. As wanted the vitamins / minerals anyway (1 wasn't 79p unfortunately), told her to keep the other shots ...

You should have grabbed some more shots and said "OK I'll buy six.." and got them free anyway

I really like the shots, what happens if you just buy 6 or 12 shots? I really don't need any more cod liver oil!

Does anyone know what negative balance you have against your shopping, if you get 6 shots and 6 packs of Ricola sweets please?

6 or 12 shots will be free...

6 shots and 6 Ricolas will be similar to the -2.81GBP something just under 3 quid

sillymeeee

I havent bought 6 Ricola. But when I bought 3 they went through as £1.45 each. Then 45p came off 3 times to make them £1 each and then £1.45 off for the 3 for 2. So the cost for 3 is £1.55. If it double up for 6 then the cost would be £3.10. I think the credit for 6 shots is around £5.97/ Less £3.10 - so I think the credit balance may be £2.87. I dont know if that helps at all.

I reckon those shots will be good for a hangover, will report back Sunday morning/afternoon with my findings.....

Thanks to everyone for the tips on this.
Thanks also to the person who suggested opening the vits and pouring them into the one container - a brilliant space-saving tip.
....
Happy hunting everyone.

Those of you with little ones - don't throw the empty containers away. If you put some dried peas/lentils/beans/rice in them, they make excellent shakers

I tried to do this today but as no self scan went to a till sa could not belive my balance 6 shots 3 vits 3 ricola and 3 radox bubble bath total came to 90 somthing pence, oh she said that cant be right so she put them all through again and total was same. She asked one of the other sa who said get manager to check manager was busy so sa said hold on when ive done ill put them all through as seperate transaction when i have done, i paniced abit then and said i was in a rush so id leave it oh how i wish we had a self scan i really wanted this deal.

Thats the problem when you try anbd get it through without spending. Surely there was something on offer you needed that would have made the balance stand out less?
