    hardly anything in piccadilly. Just gok sets and a load of stuff that's been trashed! would have been brave and got the shots if i'd found something decent in the sale to buy.

    I've also been to these stores today: Brent cross - rubbish sale, but found some shots & ricola. Notting hill - found shots, ricola & S&G tins:T 3 stores on Oxford street - no shots & nothing worth buying in the sale. I don't really need anything. I'm happy enough with all the freebies I've had from boots with the vit glitch:)

    Thanks

    Am thinking of going first thing tomorrow morning for a browse as like you dont really need anything but i cant bear not getting a bargain:)

    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
    Deb got some today, see below....scan at 001p

    she has pictured the type to look for !:)

    Then I went back later and there was just one shot on the shelf, I went to see if i could see any on the pharmacy counter....I couldn't but they did have some of the fizzy tablets, labelled as free with vitamins. These were 10 packs, berry flavoured, picy below.
    Whilst the SA was talking to someone I picked up 2 packs, to put with my 1 shot, and 3 packs of Ricola...... and took them all to another till.

    As you can see from the receipt the result wasn't great, I paid them (Yes really!!) £1.57 for the 3 packs of Ricola, a shot and 2 packs of the 10 re-engergise tablets ....not such a good deal, but still worth having for me.

    I can't work the maths out, but i'm sure someone clever can

    *eta* I've worked it out now.
    The shot was free, the Ricola were £1.45 for 2 of them (the 3 came up as free) = £2.90
    Then they take of 45p x 3 as the Ricola are on offer = £1.55 + 1p for each of the packs of 'free' fizzy tablets. = £1.57

    I got 2 lots of 15 shots both with my old friend Ricola:p (almost all stores stock this it's just a case of hunting it out!)
    Hi
    Are the ricola in hangy bags or little boxes? I still can't find them in my local! :)
    :dance:
  • Did anyone get this to work online, they have the shots back in stock

    Thanks

    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 went to that one yesterday, but i didnt see any ss tills :( what floor are they on? was on ground and 1st, there were no shots anyway that i could see, i'm talking about the one op disney store.

    I was really excited when I found lots of shots at my local, C**d*ff B*y; but (trust me!) I read the back of the label, and They are NOT SUITABLE for VEGETARIANS!

    Thought those of you out there who are like me, need to be aware of this before drinking any!

    I had to put my stash back :-(

    for any other veggies, the fizzy tablet shots which don't give money off but are free as well, are suitable. I have been getting both free, giving my none veggie hubby the shots and I'm taking the fizzy tablet things.

    as mentioned earlier - please don't get the fizzy one's to save money as they scan through at 0.001 so you will not save anythnig and have to pay for your vitamins, however, if you buy your vitamins and get the free drink shots with the money off - you can have these free as well, but no extra money off just more free vitamins.
