don't go with 15 of each first of all. maybe 6 of each and some shower gel or whatever you fancy for £3. Use SS, if it works then repeat and repeat.

Plus I wouldn't recommend scanning the vitamins and shots all after one another mix it up with shower gel then shots then more shower gel as you don't want the negative figure on the screen. HTH

I think I'm lucky as there's no one ever looking over the SS at my local and if there is I just try to cover the screen as much as possible:o

I only really want 3 or 6...mind you, I have a feeling that's where it all starts!

i used to cover screen, but no point. as cs has a screen of their own showing all ss. they get confused enough when studying receipt, no chance of them working it out while you are scanning. as said best to mix items up a bit though

To those worried about being trouted when buying lots, I have done this a few times, trouted on my first one so now I buy something high value like nappies to take the total up to ~£30, and at the till sound all dippy and say "Sorry, I'm not sure if this is the right type as I'm buying them for a friend, can I return them if not".

Pay, go out, put bags in car, come back and say, "Sorry, not the right type". SA is already half expecting the refund and already knows they're on the receipt so doesn't check that they're refunding you all the money back.

You could probably even make a profit this way but I always make sure I'm spending something, albeit normally 70p or something .

... and thanks for the advice

so have we established that the fizzy type DON'T work in the glitch?
i was going to try this evening but saw about 6 different fizzy types, didn't know which one might work, all were different prices, so left it

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.

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

Thanks, Locarr. It would have been a very happy day! But that's the first time I have seen the shots in the Trafford Centre. Please, does anyone know any store around Salford which stocks them? (Pretty please....)
