    You could see if the sign is still there saying one shot free with each vitamin/herbal product and then return them saying the offer is not as stated but you didn't realise until you had left the shop and checked your receipt later - worth a try?

    :D

    Just popped in to Boots earlier today and picked up 1 RE-ENERGISE shot (Free with any vitamin or herbal product) and 2 of the Ricola Swiss drops

    The Ricolas are on offer at £1 from £1.45 but the 3 for 2 kicks in on the full price so you save an extra 45p per 3 items

    till gives you -1.99 for the shot, -1.45 for the ricola (3 for 2) and - the extra 45p

    2 ricola and one shot went thru at 55p!!:D

    Thanks OP, this has been mentioned for the last few days on the Boots Vit Glitch thread, but worth another heads up.


    I stood in awe as my sis bought:

    x15 shots
    x12 Ricolas
    x 2 primsose oil
    x2 facial wipes (x2 for £3!)
    £2.50 xmas gift
    for grand total of : 49p !!!!

    The SA 's face was a picture, my sister told her it was a 'special offer!' and she just put it through with a 'good on ya' attitude.
    Amazing deal.
    How much ?????????!!!

    The shots offer is now limited to one per transaction - thee was a sign in my local today. Looks like Boots have caught onto the glitch.
    No buying toiletries challenge - possibly for most of 2011,2012,2013,2014,2015!
    £1 in sealed pot for each UU (2011 135/500:D) 2012 have UU 130/400 (never realised I had a mini chemist under my bed!!!) :rotfl:2013 UU 156/350. 2014 UU 197/250 2015 UU 16/100

    I went into my small local. There was a sign saying only 1 shot per transaction. I got the vitamins @79p, vitamin b @ £2.** and the shot £1.99. It took off the shot and 79p vitamins. Thanks OP. XX
