not sure if its been mentioned but if like me you have kind of stocked yourself up with these, but still have loads extra, they make great things to put in care packages for homeless shelters and womens refuges...... just an idea to think about.

People always comment about giving extras to women's refuges, but has anyone managed it? The addresses are secret (for obvious reasons) so you can't just drop things off, and they usually say they prefer cash donations.

I think people say this to make themselves feel better, I think it's code for car boot sale!!!:cool:

These organisations will often have a 'drop off' address for things like administration and donations.

They were not full size but samples with 10 tablets so probably wouldn't be with the 3 for 2 offers as well . More free vitamins though as if both have signs can't see how you couldn't get the free shots and the free effervescent vitamins with every vitamin purchase.

I'm sure they were 99p when bought with a certain product so not free.

no it isn't code for car boot sales.......

if you want to find out how to donate to these places you need to contact local charities in your area and they can arrange for these to be dropped off i.e take the care packages to a drop off point - it isn't just cash donations they want - donations of any type are always welcome (i used to work in one).

I've not been ina boots yet that has the shots in stock, so off to try tomorrow but had a quick question. If I buy a No 7 product that is, for example, £3, and I have a £5 voucher, will it take the extra £2 off my shopping? Want to be sure I don;t mess this up and end up with a negative amount. TIA :-)

I think that would happen as i had £2.50 off some nappies but with the shots & vits they only came to £2 so the other 50p came off the other stuff i bought. i think you will be lucky to get anything No7 for less than a £5 the cheapest i have found is the summer hair spray for £6 down to £1, the other things are nail varnishes £7 down to £2 with voucher and i think the facial wipes. hth and good luck!!

Yes, the addresses are not known but you could google "Family Aid in ***** (your town/city name) and it will come up with address of an organisation where you could take your donations and they will take them gratefully for women's refuges in your local area.

I found Family Aid organisation in my area during Tesco DTD glorious time (remember those Rich Nivea moisturisers big blue bottles ? ) with no problems.

Thanks for sucha quick response. I didn;t think it was likely either, but I didn't want to mess it up in case I do happen upon something

You just never know! I went to a small-ish store where there were 6 on the shelf. However as I went to the till, there were another 10 in a display there hence how I got 15 yesterday. My hauls have been 3, 3, 3, 6, 12, 15, 18. The store I got 18 in had another 18 the following day of which 6 were trouted from me and the other 12 I'd left sitting on the shelf.

I should also say that the 'credits' you talk about are based on only getting the 79p vitamins. Excluding the cost of the vitamins the credits are £5.97 for 6 and £15.92 for 15.

well I picked up 6 vitamins c and 6 shots plus 3 packs of shampoo and it worked a treat!! :T:beer::j:) total 25p

tried some multi-vitamins and it worked however didn't take off as much and cost total £2.24. Not gonna moan though as I have lots of vitamins free and might pop back in tomorrow:D:o
