I reckon that would give you £4.07 credit!

15 x 0.79 = 11.85 - 15.92 = £4.07....

you need at least 5 x .99p shampoos to bring you in to positive balance but I would go for a few more else the SA may query such a low total!!:D

6 shots and 6 x 79p vitamins gives £2.80 credit (or maybe £2.81)

So if 15 only gives £4.07 credit, then it seems the best way to do it is in blocks of 6

If I get 15 shots + 15 vitamins @79p each, how much credit do I have?

I want to stock up on my shampoo@99p each. So how many shampoos can I buy to use up the credit?

with 79p vits i think you get 41p per 3 + £1.99 per 5 so
41p x 5 = £2.05
£1.99 x 3 = £5.97
£8.02 off your shopping so get 9 shampoos at 99p
i know i've stuck my neck out differing from locarr:o
but i do agree with locarr that its 15s that are best

Oh my goodness, I'm sitting here trying to work out the maths and having no joy whatsoever! Totally confused with the x 15 quantity!!

Its because the vit shots are on a multi buy 5 for 4, 3 for 2 and free with a vitamin :j

That is why 15 is the best quantity.

For any new Bootsers, by the time you have worked the formula out successfully (so that you can confidently explain it to yourself, in the mirror;)), and followed that up with a few more glitches, you'll find your maths ability will be on a par with Carole Voorderman!

Oh no I'm a little slow but I understood that bit!! I wanted to understand how the deductions would work to know how much I would have in credit towards my other purchases.

Zippy from my calculations you're correct, I agree with you. £8.02 off if you buy 15 x 79p vitamins and 15 shots! :T:T AMAZING!

I worked it out as £8 with 15, but My God you would need to be brave to try it, let's see, a basket with 15 vitamins, 15 shots, lets say 8 x £1 shower gels and even then the balance is zero....I know the SA's haven't noticed the low prices and I could have got 15 of each today but i think the £8 off your shopping would be a huge problem unless you spent £40 or £50 to cover it.

I would be super impressed though if anyone's done 15 through a manned till...come on tell us!!!:T

If you are buying in 15 at a time you will have £8.02 overspend if you get the 79p vits or £8.17 extra on the ricola sweets as you get 8 x 1.99 off your shop then deduct either 10x 79p or 5 x 1.55 HTH . Just wish I could find another local branch with self Serve would love to get some more "cheap" baby food and the lemon ricola are actually quite nice
