Just mocked up a quick table showing the figures. The graphic shows 2 tables, with the vitamin price in the top left cell, the number of shots & vitamins you buy in one transaction along the top and the bottom row then shows how much it will cost.

Ah the good ol' spreadsheet....reminds me of the Tesco Price Check days....

No shots available in Oracle today - who's 'ad 'em? lol!

Just did 6x shots and 6x vits (3 @ 79p and 3 @ 99p) and around other £20 of shopping (which was all either 3for2 or half price) and the total was £17.87.

To distract the SA, I asked if she knew when the 1/2 price sale was going to 75% off and she said "im not supposed to tell you... but tomorrow"!! I cant guarantee that but its what she said!

Thanks,

Free shots and vits, cheap shopping and info on the 75% off sale !:T:T:T

Shots back in stock at my Boots today so got 6, 6 packs of Ricola (£1 each), and a No7 Hand Savior (£11). Used a £5 off No7 voucher, and my total was £3.12!

Manned till, and the woman did comment on the bargain, I said lots were 342. she just put it through

worked for me today, however one item I got scanned cheaper than the price label so ended up with a total of -8p ...just turned round to grab something to bring total up but till just stated to take my card and gave me 8p back.

Ok one last set of tables if you'll indulge me.



The first 2 are as per my previous post but the last table shows how much a batch of 3 same priced vitamins costs. All you need to do is add up the total for each batch of 3 you buy and then deduct an extra £1.99 for every 5 shots you buy.

Example:

If I were to buy 3 Vitamin C at 79p and 3 Evening Primrose Oil at £2.05, I add -£0.41 and £2.11 which is £1.70. Because I have 6 shots I can also take off £1.99 for the 5for4 discount so I now have credit of 29p towards my shopping. Hope that makes sense!

Can anyone confirm the price of the multivits? I didnt get any earlier as there were enough 79p vit c but the sel for the multivits said £1.05 anyone thats got these today may want to check receipts..

I'm one of those numpties that boots are probably making a killing on because I keep messing up my sums lol
I got 12 shots
9 ricola
3 vitamins 2.39 each
3 listerine mouthwash £1.09 each
No 7 eye pencil £7.75
-£5 no 7 voucher
Total to pay £3.51
Paid at SS and to call someone as kept saying I hadn't put voucher in slot which I had, then same as last time wouldn't accept my 200 points dental voucher, SA decided the small listerine are travel size that's why won't accept, I was too embarrassed to argue

I was expecting a bigger discount despite the slightly more expensive vitamins where did I go wrong

celebrate, are you well? to make the most of this glitch you need to buy the 79p or 99p vitamins.

Shots (12) = 23.88
Vits = 13.05 (9*1.45) + 7.17 (3*2.39) = 20.22
Free shot = -23.88
342 vits = -4.35 (3*1.45) & -2.39 = -6.74
342 shots = -7.96
544 shots = -3.98
Ricola 45p disc = -4.05 (9*0.45)

Total = -£2.51

Add on 3 * £1.09 + No 7 eye pencil £7.75 -£5 no 7 voucher

Grand total is £3.51
