"Free" Deep Freeze Cold Patch in Superdrug.....

.......when you purchase any pain relieving product.

So I bought paracetemol (the cheapie kind) for 16p.

Til charged me 1p for a Well Patch Deep Freeze cold patch! These retail at £4.99 for 4 (see http://www.mypharmacy-secure.co.uk/acatalog/Deep_Freeze_Cold_Patch.html)

They are also offering these online at Boots on selected pain relief products, but Superdrug offered this on ANY pain relief products!

HTH someone.

    These are meant to be free with any purchase of a pain relief product but they are going through the till at 1p each unless the checkout operator overrides it.

    As a little experiment today, I took a number of the cool packs to the till and purchased them for 1p each without any pain relief products. So you can fill your boots and stock up to use them as personal air conditioning when the weather warms up!!!

    I also had a trip to my local Superdrug this morning (felt like I was cheating on Boots, kept looking over my shoulder all the time ;)) and they had the packs on the shelf at £1.99 or whatever, but there was no signs indicating any sort of promotion linked to pain relief so I didn't buy :(
    :love: I :heart2: Boots :love:
