    You could do 2x Tresemme Shap. @3.99 = £7.98
    2x Dove bodywash @£2.28= £4.56
    4x Lynx shower gel @£1.88=£7.52 = £20.06
    Less Boggofs = £10.03
    to Pay =£10.03

    Use 2x £2.50 HB
    4x £1 HB To Pay £1.03

    But the plax and colegate coupons will go to waste .
    I prefer the cashier ( young guys with fancy hair work best)
    Never pay more than you have too

    I was wondering if any of you lovely people could help me get the best out of my coupons? I have
    4 x £2.50 hb
    4 x £1.00 off plax
    4 x £1.00 HB
    2 40p off colgate
    also some £2 of healthcare and £1 off healthcare.
    Im after getting as much for free as poss as its going to be sold/raffled in hampers for Christies cancer hospital.
    after reading this thread it seems I need to get some SB and QK coupons as well, will have to look out for some.
    any help with the best combinations would be very much appreciated.


    8 x Facial Wipes @ £1.49 = £11.92 (BOGOF takes off £1.90)
    4 x Lynx SGel @ £1.88 = £7.52
    4 x Dove @ £2.28 = £9.12
    4 x Plax @ £2.86 = £11.44
    2 x 21p value tpaste = £0.42

    Total = £40.42
    Bogofs = £21.64
    Total to pay = £18.78

    Use... All your coupons & receive 2p off your shopping....

    Of course I've only added the value toothpastes to get the sums right.. but you could add a couple of better quality 65p aquafresh toothpastes instead & use a moc from the Tesco countdown mag that scan on anything to make up the shortfall of around 0.90p.

    Hope the raffle goes well.....

    I made a balls-up in Tescos today, which ended up with a strange result and I wonder if anyone smart on here can figure out what happened?

    I bought:

    2 x Treseme Shampoo
    2 x Aquafresh Toothpaste
    1 x 36p soap

    Total before BOGOFF = £12.16.

    I was going to use 2 x £1.25 & 2 x 40p from QK and 3 x £1 (toiletry) & 5 x 50 extra points from H&B, but I used coupons from the wrong pocket and.....

    3 healthcare coupons were returned (I hadn't bought any!), but the SA/till accepted 1 x £2.50 and 3 x £1 - all from h&b?????!!!! (I also used 1 x 50 extra points and 2 x 40p toothpaste).

    Why????....and how can I do it again????!!!!

    (I wish I had've figured out what was happening at the time. I would've tried to give her some more!)

    Any ideas?
  • You had spent over £12 before BOGOF on H&B, therefore 1 x £2.50 and 2 x £1 H&B will go through. The 40p toothpaste coupons work on any toothpaste, so basically, thats right. If you had some So Beautiful you could have used the £2.50 coupon from that, plus 2 x £1.25 Quit. You'd have also been able to use another 4 points coupons.

    I think you'd have also been able to use 2 x toothpaste coupons from the Bright & Balanced booklet too.

    Are you sure??? Surely you can't combine the two H&B toiletry vouchers on the same spend like you can when combining from different packs (QK or SB)?

    If you can, I've missed a trick!


    edit: I missed a trick lmao!!!! Back to page 1 for me!

    Good stuff. If you have enough, you could use 2 x £1.25 QK also (they do run out quick though!)
