    Planned shop for healthcare

    6 x plax 2.86each BOGOF
    2 x impulse 1.86 each BOGOF

    Against this I could use the following

    £1 off for every £4 spent on healthcare H&B X 4
    £1 off plax old quit it X 6
    £2.50 off £10 H&B X 2
    £2 off £8 active X2
    £2 off £8 old quit it X2

    Spend will be £10.44 but after voucher you will be in credit by £12.56, to spend on other shopping.

    Will this work ?

    Just got back from 3rd h&b shop;

    2 x dove haircare £3.82
    2 x sure apd £3.96
    1 x tesco soap 24p

    used 1.25 beauty, 1.25 toiletry (old quit) £2 off 8.00 h&b
    total to pay 46p.

    I'm guessing that this means the sure apd and dove are classed as both h&b, perhaps mr.leadhead can confirm?
    Has anyone tried natrel or macleans yet?
    Dawn.

    It won't work with the Healthcare coupons, but you can still have your free toiletries using the H&B ones above and get £11 off your £10.44 spend ;) .

    The Healthcare ones can be used against the Xtra bars on bogof at the mo for £1.49. They also work on pain relief which gets triple points at the mo, and against plasters and the like and condoms etc.

    Hope this helps, good luck & let us know how you get on!

    Hi
    Just back from my most successful HandB shop yet. Also healthcare.

    As my healthcare I bought 6 packs of Something Extra vitamin bars and when I've checked the dates it says 21/04/07!!
    Who should I complain to as I don't want to return them as I never really paid due to vouchers etc??? Is there an e-mail or is it better to phone?

    Thanks
    ;) Newbie Comper ;)

    Too true. i once used one from asda mag in tesco, not at self scan but accidently gave to cashire, and he scanned it and took it. it was £5 and they would have lost £5 because of this.

    I didn't say anything though, but wish i had, as even now i feel guilty about it when i see that SA!

    Its like stealing or theft by deception at least IMO

    My goodness sassi..............I'll not mention how many hundreds of those went through extremely easy.........

    Its abuse of a policy at the most...its not up to the customer to know which coupon every supermarket takes..........and long as its a genuine coupon, it becomes legal tender once it is accepted.

    Any other suggestions for healthcare-I have quite a few left!!
    Any bars of healthy stuff!!??

    Theres a huge range of healthcare on the shelves, the amount of coupons available at the moment means you can buy in mutiples of £8 and if youve got the coupons......and get it all free.
