Overcharged at Boots

Hello!
This is my first thread so I hope I've got it in the right place.
I normally check my receipts as I leave the shop but for some reason I didn't do that this time. I was charged at Boots for the same magazine three times. This means I was overcharged £4. I know this isn't a lot of money but it still isn't right. Is there anything I could do about this or is it too late now I'm home?

    All you can do is go back tomorrow and ask.

    Why not pop back to Boots and see?

  • I was going to do that tomorrow but I was worried that they wouldn't believe that I only bought one. Silly, I know. Can you tell I'm a worrier?
  • I doubt many people would buy three copies of the same magazine, so chances are they'll be fine with it. If it was something else, maybe not.

    If you don't have a history of frequently getting refunds or generally "cheating" them, then I think they'll just believe you and refund you the money - it's not a massive sum, so it's unlikely that they'll think you're scamming them.

    Good luck!

    Just take the other two copies back with you and it will be fine!
