    Was that the usual price for the toothpaste?

    I tried to use that coupon last week against Boots Sensitive Toothpaste which is £1 but it did not work.

    The SA said it must be because it was already on offer.

    I used to love these little 'glitches' - sadly they removed the machines from my local store :(
    Blessed are the vegetarians.
  • I had the same voucher from the machine and they wouldn't scan against the 59p toothpaste - the SA said there needs to be a minimum spend of £1. I argued that it doesn't say that on the voucher and that I would complain to customer services as I often get vouchers out of the machine which don't work when you get to the till. What's the point of that? Boots gave me it - I didn't make it myself. It's not my fault they don't work. Rang the customer services number and gave up as I was in a queue and didn't have time to wait.


    Mind I saved enough on the No7 glitch so that I'm not that bothered about the 50p but it's the principle.

    I tried to use with a tube of colgate (red box) and it wouldn't scan - the cashier said it was only for Boots own brand but again the coupon didn't say this!

    sounds odd if it won't scan for Colgate or boots own! mine scanned straight through the till 3 times in a row!!!

    the lippie was £1.99 and the ca put it through manually as it doesn't say minimum spend on it

    the toothpaste is fine as boots own brand stuff usually is

    fill your boots!! if they let you
