Good on you! I would have done the same thing. Hate when they try to pressure you into buying.

15 is ONLY the best combination where you get the cheap vitamins. There are far too many combinations to list but if you buy Evening Primrose Oil at £2.05 then you are better off buying in 6s in different transactions and not 15 in one transaction.

Had an IKEA-bag full of sale stuff and remembered to look for shots in the Trafford Centre. They sadly didn't have 15 (didn't have time to look in other places and bag was heavy!) but I grabbed six. Needed some VitB complex so after a bit of thought (not maths, just remembered how Boots' tills think), got three (who on earth pays £6.65 for a tub?) and three cheap vit C. Also had a ACM £1 off voucher (which the ACM didn't offer me the other day -- I only put the card in for the 'spend over £35' points voucher). So six shots, three cheap VitC and three B complex came to £7.91.

Am grateful for this assurance, Caz, as was coming home rather sorry that I had not looked around for more shots. But as I wanted the Vit Bs anyway, I am happy. Wish I could find a shop with lots of shots!

Well done!!:D

IF you could find 15 shot and 12 Ricola, you could of had the VitB Complex for £3.58

Shots (15) = 29.85
Vits = 17.40 (12*1.45) + 19.85 (3*6.65) = 37.35
Free shot = -29.85
342 vits = -5.80 (4*1.45) & -6.65 = -12.45
342 shots = -9.95
544 shots = -5.97
Ricola 45p disc = -5.40 (12*0.45)

Total = £3.58 happy days!!:T

Could someone with a ss till please try the fizzy tabs from the same range as the shots, instead of the shots?

What size are the tubes? I looked for them yesterday to try them but I only found ones the size of berroca and they did not have any signs up to suggest they were part of the GOF deal. I am gonna try to pop along to Boots tomorrow and will try them and post back. HTH

Not sure what happened with mine today - i got 6 shots, 6 vitamins 3*79 and 3*2.05 plus £43 of 75% off sale stuff. Total to pay was £43, i was expecting it to be less (ie money off) did i get the wrong amount? Just tried one of the re-energise things - broke my arm in 2 places on Monday so not sleeping well - and don't feel like it has done a thing glad i am not paying for them!!

2.05 products were what took the money, i think:(

Went to my second boots of the day...

Not much left in the sale but got: 6 x shots, 3 x 79p vits, 3 x ricola
a couple of shower gels and a nail polish set.

No SS so went to SA on pharmacy. He was happily scanning everything through. Total to pay..... £1.66

Thought I was going to get trouted for sure! He looked through the receipt several times and I just said well I have stocked up on a lot of offers and the sale!

He let it through in the end but said 'you have a good eye for bargains. you could give that Martin Lewis a run for his money!'
