    I can confirm that superdrug are selling these for 1p. i grabbed a load of them with a couple of 16p asprins, and was told i couldent buy any more pain killers incase i do something silly! :eek:

    The nice lady at the till put them through for me, and said they were 1p, and told me to grab some more if i wanted them :T :T :D

    I tried this yesterday at my local Superdrug and it went through at £4.99, even though I was taking the paracetamol tablets as well :confused:

    Needless to say I didn't take it...

    There were no signs at all in-store so I couldn't query it...

    I took a £4.99 box from the shelves and cheapo 16p parecetamol's, nothing to promote the offer, so i handed both at chemist section and asked (said friend got them another superdrug) woman not a clue what i was on about, she went to ask and came back saying it was for just 1 sample, not the box, so told her i'd have that then, the box of promotional one's were under the counter, says they are a free sample on the pack. So ASK folkes if nothing up to promote it, often find that thanks to this great site, i know more than the staff do!!!!!
    Kat :money:
  • didn't work for me either in my local superdrug!!
    but thanks for the tip about asking at the pharmacy for a free sample. will give it a go 2mw!

    Saw these in Superdrug yesterday (didnt try getting them free as our store is small and the SA's moany)... they're NOT the ones on the shelf sold as normal! They were on a display on their own, each SILVER FOIL pack is for a single patch, and has printed on them "not for resale" so are not the regular ones you can buy that just happen to go through free. They are specific promo ones. Very hard to find though, that was the 3rd Superdug I'd checked (plus local Boots didn't have them either and have a smilar offer but only on selected products)

    Been in 2 my local superdrug 2day and they had the promotional silver-foil pack in, they were on a cardboard promo-stand at the end of an aisle and not on the shelves.
    Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to
    use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.:D

    It is just one single one - small, foil-wrapped one-use thing. No signs up in mine - bought the 16p paracetamols and then asked. They only had one envelope with a few in, no signs up about it. I asked how much to buy a single one, so she tried to scan it and said they weren't on the till system. May be worth asking even if they are not actively promoting the freebie.
