Cheap bath and shower stuff in Boots with 25% off Advantage Point coupon

This is my first time posting - so if you know this already or I've done it wrong, please be nice!

Original Source shower gel is currently half price at £1.15 in Boots. But if you go to the Advantage Point you can get a coupon for 25% off, which already makes it a pretty good price. But at the tills it calculates the 25% at the original price, taking off 58p, so you get it for 57p which is a real bargain!

The other beauty (geddit) of this is that you can get the coupon more than once, I got one the other day and tried again today and I got another!

    yep - I get so many of these 25% off vouchers for female deodorant from the Boots acm machine that I never have to buy deo from anywhere else - always choose a half price one and use the coupon, so you get it for 75% off :).

    If you get 25% off coupons for hair shampoo/conditioner or bubble bath, or dental, this works in the same way - pick something thats already half price then use your voucher.
  • I've had them before but never thought to use them! It was only cos hubby loves the Original Source stuff and I'd already noticed the price that I got it. That's a great tip, thank you!

    25% off half price doesn't make it 75% off. ;)

    I used original source shower gel recently after not buying it for a while and was really disappointed. It was really thin and didn't smell of much.

    it doesn't work that way though - the item is already half price, but the 25% off voucher actually takes 25% off the full price, so say the full price of the item is £2, its half price already so £1, use the 25% off voucher and it takes another 50p off the price (25% off the full price). So you pay 50p.
  • great deal, but i have bought so many shower/bath sets in boots 75% sale- i cant stock more bath items!!!
    i must not be tempted!

    Hi, Can you tell me if you can buy more than 1 with each voucher?

    I thought the same when I bought the jubilee strawberry one much too runny
