    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

    Am dying to try this and just hope that there isn't a circular around from HO to stop it. Does it work if you have three of the green ones and three of the white ones then? How much did you pay for these?

    I chicken'd out!!!!:( I had 6 green tubes in the basket and was standing in the queue with only two check out assistants and I turned back round and left without them. I'm going to ask DP to try a store in Edinbur* and maybe they're self service tills.
    you need to toughen up if you're going to be a Bootser ;).

    I have perfected the gormless look. I try to look as middle aged as possible and if the till comes up with more than I want, I go all confused and say that my daughter/niece/sister/neighbour said it would be less than that so I must have picked up the wrong thing and I am very sorry but could she void the sale please.:rotfl:
  • hahaha, love the confused middle aged look
  • If there had been a circular about this glitch then there would have been a circular about the Soltan glitch as well?! But both are still working (yay!).

    I reckon the grumpy store manager mentioned earlier had found out about this thread from friend/relative and was being a Jobsworth.

    My MIL had even heard about the suntan lotion glitch from somewhere completely different online so news does spread (she doesn't read MSE). You'd have thought that with so many people knowing, they would have ended that glitch instead of even parking the stuff at the till displays like they did with me on Saturday... which meant it would have been really rude of me not to buy six really :D hehe

    Thank you - I got six green ones today. There wasn't much in the handcream section but plenty left in the travel bit. The sales assistant was very smiley and commented whilst scanning "is this one of those offers where you buy six and only pay for one?"..."I don't know where people find out about all these things!" She was lovely, even told me to go and get an extra drink as the bogof was working as well as being part of a meal deal!

    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.

    if an email had gone round surely they could have fixed the glitch just as easily.

  • Still working at 5pm, i purchased 3 green and 3 anti bac for £3.29 in the travel section, then went to the main area and found more of the anti bacs so purchased 6 of them. I have a newborn now and am constantly washing my hands (before feeds, changing nappies etc) so this is really great value for money!

    i always tend to approach the male SA, they're clueless and never notice a thing :)
