    It currently working at New O$cott boots I brought 12, however as there is no self serve I took one to the till near the photo section (younger staff tend not to be bother about been jobsworths) and asked if she could scan it 3 times and then 6 times to tell me what the price would she was happy to do this and just said yeah there is two offers 3 4 2 and bogoff. The shelves were full so I had my pick of the different factors. :)

    Just been down to Boots in Trowbridge and the deal is still working there. Bought 6 mini Soltan Once Sprays for £6.99...

    Now I'm wondering why I bought them because I don't really use suncream nor am I planning on holidaying a lot in the next year.

    This is a brilliant deal. Son has just done it in Doncaster. He bought 6 of the kids factor 50s for £3.99. These are perfect for the kids going away on their summer youth club hols next week. :)

    Congrats and best wishes indeed to those who have enjoyed the 6 for 1 deal, but I don't get the maths. Two offers combined - 2 for 1 AND 3 for 2 is 6 for 1, we are told. I just can't make that add up. 2 for 1 AND 3 for 1 I could understand, but this? You pick up 2, that's £6.99 cos they're BOGOF. Now you can pick up one more and still only pay £6.99 cos of 3 for 2. Or, you pick up 2 and that's £13.98 at £6.99 each, but they're both BOGOF, so you can pick up 2 more and still expect to pay £13.98, and then pick up 2 more because each pair is on 3 for 2, and still pay £13.98. Either way the combination is 3 for 1, not 6 or 1. Having said all that, I don't deny the reports of those who have said 6 for 1 has worked, and I'm sure it's a glitch. It's just not obvious that it arises from the combination of the two deals.
    And incidentally, it's not the first time they've done it. Years ago I enjoyed a similar sun cream bargain in Boots, although the maths was comprehensible in my case. So even if this deal is pulled, it may only be a matter of time until the next one.


    1 Pay for this one
    2 Free (BOGOF with number 2)
    3 Free (342 with number 1 and 2)
    4 Free (BOGOF with number 3)
    5 Free (BOGOF with number 6)
    6 Free (342 with number 4 and 5)

    Little confusing with number 5 but the till will put them through at price first then take all offers off :) HTH
    :cool:

    Thanks OP! Was hoping for some half price suncream for our winter sun holiday!! This will do, just hope it's good stuff now :)
    Have to say I think the full price for 75mls is outrageous!!

    just been to my village boots and there were only signs for bogof, so i waited till there was no queue and asked sa to check the price for 6. the look on her face was bemusement!

    i could see she wasnt sure about it and i didnt want her to query it so i started chatting, saying i saw it on 'daybreak' and it was genuine, not a glitch ;)

    she put it through and said she did think it an expensive way to buy suncream.

    went and got something from the pharmacy and was passing her till on the way out and there was someone else with 6 bottles :rotfl:
  • Tried and worked in Edinburgh Princes Street store. 3x SPF 15 plus 3x Once SPF 30. Lady at the till was baffled, deleted all and started over again. When it still came up at £6.99 the second time, she said it was crazy and let it through. Plenty of stock as at 2pm today.

    Nice one :)
