    Afternoon mad squad, advice please, the boots 200 points coupon thing, what shampoo is it? I thought it was the 75p ones but on boots website it says advantage card points can't be collected with this product??

    TIA

    I have used them on own brand anti dandruff on offer £1 each instead of £2.49.
    Plus have used them on the 400ml Batiiste Dry shampoo that is reduced from 4.99 to £1.25.
    Mega bargains in my opinion. :money:

    Afternoon peeps what a dreadful day.

    My £5 TCB already in transactions & the £20 Kitty Bingo :j:j

    Didn't win a penny from £10 deposited but I will be £15 up :D

    Thanks Snap, I went for this too. I wagered the £10 on slots, got up to £16 and now back at £10 so will quit there ;) Just need to wait for it to track now :)
