Still trying hard to catch you Caz, now up to 66 shots + 66 vitamins/Ricolas. Got another 15 of each this morning plus 8 shower gels for 43p. Happy days indeed!!

My stash is nothing compared to others but keep up the good work.

There was only 2 shots on the shelf at my store :eek: and lots of vitamins all been restocked. Had a long look round for more shots as there were in three different areas, all empty.

So I asked a SA saw lots of managers but thought, no chance in hell of me asking them as they probably have inside knowledge :rotfl:SA found 1 shot :T

will be back tomorrow :rotfl::o might even hit another boots store today:o

Still working today, and store was so packed i was brave enough to go to the main till, instead of hiding at the pharmacy.

Went to till 3 times with sale stuff, and just stuck 6 vits and 6 shots in on each visit.

Used up £30 of points on sale items and 6 x £5 no7 vouchers - so a good mornings was had by all.

I've read through this thread and keep seeing shower gels mentioned, but I can't see an explaination of what the deal is with these?

This morning I got an original source gel with my 6 shots + 6 vits, and I used a 25% off shower gels coupon, thinking that was the deal. And the coupon was rejected (I didn't want to call staff to the SS till to help, lol).

When you combine the cheap vits or Ricola with your shots, depending on how many you buy you can end with a negative balance!:D

Some peeps are stocking up on other essentials to hide the glitch....I got shaving gels....about 18 so far!!;)

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

Was this in sedley place? Ive had quite a few shots from there. not been today though went to brent cross for the sale. it was rubbish. The staff bought all the good stuff. i could see them buying it all while i was waiting outside for the store to open! Only 8 shots on shelf. i got 6 with the ricola and a front cover set for just over a quid:D

If I was you I would have been tempted to pull the note out and throw it in the bin:p

Just back from Boots at WWX in Thanet - they had restocked the vit shots so picked up 15 (still loads left and they are on stands all over the shop as well) together with 5 cheap vitamin tubs and 10 Ricolas and the till took approx £7 off my bill - I combined it all with some of the 75% sale stuff and ended up paying £28 and the receipt said I'd saved £162.90!!!!!! Wow!!! Still trying to figure out all the deductions on the receipt! I think I must have about 50 shots by now!

finally plucked up courage to try this as i had gone to the sale this morning.got there at 2 mins past 9 an as traffic a nightmare,,shelves had already been cleared of best goodies so just brought couple of things,then remembered glitch got 15 shots an mix of 79p vits and ricola threw in my fav serum and couple of other bits went off to till as even though large store no ss tills.sales assistant scanned all vits and make up but when she scanned shots she noticed they were coming up free,went off to ask someone came back and said i could only have one shot per transaction!!!i said i dont think thats the offer but she refused to do anything else,didnt want to cause a scene so said no thanks i`ll leave it all!!sorrry rant over.
