EXPIRED Boots Vitamins Discount Error

Angelina-M

Well i've done two Notts stores, Coalville and Ashby and not managed to get any at all. Ashby looked at me in disgust and said they weren't going to stock them and the others were just empty shelves. I've been a couple of times now with no success, is it worth keep trying or are they really not re-stocking anymore?

I would try Leicester but its 45 mins drive and i'm getting fed up of getting all excited for nothing lol. Has anyone already tried Leics town centre?

So how long will this glitch continue?


I can't keep going off to boots every morning forever :rotfl:

I saw this on here when it was first mentioned but I didn't understand the deal. It's taken me until yesterday to figure it out. I visited a boots today they had 6 shots, loads of the cheap vits and loads of those other ones that are mentioned... I bottled it. I was too scared. :eek:

If your store has shots in stock but no cheapy vitamins, then the Ricola sweets work on this and the orange and lemon ones are actually quite nice (for some reason did not get the Swiss Herb flavour ones!)

6 shots and 6 packs of sweets gives you £2.8x (think it is £2.87 but the receipt is confusing to say the least) off the rest of your shopping.

In my store, the sweets were on a huge stand with other items saying "reduced to £1" (they were reduced from £1.45, so when you buy three, Boots in their logic give you the .45p discount off the free one in the 3 for 2, so you "pay" £1.55 for 3 packs).

To continue the trend of backslapping :rotfl::rotfl:

If it weren't for RootedNomad, a lot of people would be missing out on a bargain if this post wasn't here. I think it only fair to credit the OP as is the norm on these boards yet alas, there are more thanks for my calculations that there are for the person who found the best glitch. Come on folks, credit where credit really is due :beer:

I think if there's no SS it's super difficult and you just have to sweet talk the SA and distract them. Say hello, talk about the 75% off sale, weather, Cameron anything! just keep them busy :rotfl:

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

The sign is still there. It was stuck on with cellotape:eek: that was my favorite store for this glitch. Had many, many ricola, shots & very cheap toiletries from there:) I wonder if someone went to a manned till and gave the glitch away!

I've had to do this three times. It does work:D Most of the time I use SS tills. I try to pick a friendly looking SA if only manned tills are available:)

Must be a North Down thing but out of 10 transactions, only one was trouted and not a single one was an SS till.
