    I know there was a reason why I don't use Vaseline hand cream. Whatever version of wee it is, it's still urea. I think I will stick to the Body Shop.

    Thanks Berba for pointing this one out.

    Re Urea - I normally associate it with being used in foot creams - supposed to be excellent for softening skin.

    Ty op finally got mine today...
  • Thank you so much OP for spotting this.

    I got the last 3 green and 3 white handcreams. Then went to the clearance section and saw Aquafresh cavity protection toothpast 100ml reduced to 63p, there were several there so I picked up 6, turns out they were also on a 3 for 2 deal!! :D Treated myself to a meal deal and the whole lot totalled £8.88 (I get the contact lenses discount on own brand - ie the meal deal) and I saved a whopping £19.14, not including whatever the Aquafresh price was to start with!

    At this rate everyone will be getting hampers of Boots bargains for Xmas!!! And I still have £60 of points to use in the sale!:j

    Sadly none in my two smallish Boots stores- there isn't any Vaseline handcream at all- and no space where it used to be either so claerly it isn't normally stocked- which is a pain. The only Vaseline product I could see was the body lotion.
    I was looking forward to another Boots bargain (and stocking fillers too!!)
    Not worth a 30 mile drive and parking costs as well!!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

  • Only two anti bac left in bigger Ipsw*ch store yesterday.. didn't have time to try the smaller one and won't be in town again until next weekend so will probably have missed out on this!

    Was pleased though got 3 Oral B toothpaste on 3for2 and had a till spit for 10% off a dental product but it wouldn't work so the SA took 10% off the whole thing. Every little helps when you buy ridiculously expensive toothpaste!!

    worked for me but store manager came over and refused the sale asking if i had seen it on "the martin lewis website" so maybe an internal email has gone out in boots. So sad times for me, will try in a smaller boots if i can.
