    can some one help me please? So far i have done this glitch 2 times, bought 6x79p vits and 6 shots (got £2.41 of my other shopping).

    I love the ricola sweets and dont 'need' anymore vitamins, what is the best way to do this? Sorry for being a thicket, i've read everypage but its still not clicking.

    Should i:

    buy 15 shots (or 6 if no available)
    and 15 ricola sweets (6 in no available)

    would this give me £8 odd of my shopping?

    I'll buy vits if i have to but i'd prefer the ricola as i'll actually use them.

    I did the 15 shots and 15 Ricola this morning and it gave me £8.17 off my shopping.

    Buy in multiples of 3 or 5 but for maximum discount 15 is the magic number!!:D

  • Hi everyone,
    firstly thanks so much for this! I got some vitamins the other day that I actualyl really needed!
    Just wondering what is the best way for me to do this? As im popping into boots later. Ive seen on here that if i get 15 shots and 15 ricola sweets I get £8 odd off my shopping.. is this right? and what do the sweets look like please?
    If i cant find the sweets and just get the vitamins that are say £2.00, is it still worth my while to get 15? or shall i stick with 6?

    thanks and sorry to be a pain x
  • i went last night to boots on oxford street, where the shots are displayed on three diff areas, and there was none and where the price is written 1.99 a message was written by the manager '' Do not re-stock this item on shelf 16/1/12''
    i think they've rummbled the error
