Altho only had 6 of the 0.79 vits and 9 @ £2.55!!

I thought I had seen it somewhere!Well done!:T:T:T

I had to queue for mine and there were 2 SA's there, one looked young and innocent, the other looked the very definition of trout. Thought it was best to stick with 9 and some other bits just in case..;)

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

Zippydooda is spot on. The answer is in fact £8.02.

Shots = 29.85
Vits = 11.85
Free shot = -29.85
3for2 vits = -3.95
3for2 shots = -9.95
5for4 shots = -5.97
Total = -£8.02

I managed 15 today (highest was 18). Bear in mind I get extra points & discounts because I'm in various Boots schemes but I paid £5.72, got 15 shots, 15 vitamins ranging from 79p up to - shock horror - £2.05, 2 multi-packs of baby wipes and saved £58.03.

As I said yesterday, the sweet spot is 15 as proven today. So far I have £270 worth of stuff for around 1/10th the value (taking into account Adv Card points).

Edit: one of my multi-quotes was missing:

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

Aided and abetted by the lovely Emma today. Only 2 items above and beyond the 15 shots & 15 vits. Didn't bat an eyelid and congratulated me on a fab saving.

Been to westfield one a couple of times and they always had shots, was gonna go there today aswell

Haven't been across to the old one as they don't have any ss tills lol

thought I'd give this a shot yesterday but every boots I went into they either had the shots or the cheap vits but never both and I'd printed out vouchers to down play how cheap it was but was not to be

Hi chattmum could you please explain how the 5 x £1.55 saving on the Ricolas works? Many thanks

Hi the £1.55 is what you are left to pay when you buy 3 packs of ricola you get 1.45x3 minus one of the 1.45 then the til takes of 3 x 0.45 as they are reduced to £1 leaving you to pay £1.55 on each batch of 3 so take 5 x that off your over spend as you are buying 15 HTH.

Good morning everyone - Still havn't managed a boots trip yet so am on a mission today - I am wanting to buy some vitamins for the kids if poss - I don't mind having to pay for them and know its not getting the best out of the deal but I'd like to get some cheapo vits cod liver oil for me and DH but can anyone recommend anything that we can get for a 3yr old and 4yr old?
