Boots Vitamin D (10 µg 90 tablets) is currently £2.30 and 3 for 2. It is also £1 if bought with Boots colds and flu, which start at 99 pence but are also 50% the second item. However, it seems to take the discount off more then once, so three Vitamin D packs (£2.30 each) and three Boots throat pastilles (99pence each) plus one Halls soother (54pence) total £10.41 but reduces to £3.45.

I also found that increasing the 99p items and adding in some cheaper cough sweets (also 50% off second item) didn't make much difference to the overall price.

    Anyone tried this in-store?    Was about to place order online and then found out £1.50 delivery charge even to store.
  • Could ask the store to put through as internet order. May need to give the store the reference numbers of each product. There is one reference on the Boots website and a different reference when added to the basket

    Yeah, this is instore too.  Someone posted it on HUKD a month ago and everyone went crazy buying them.  Be sure to look at your offers on your app as I had a voucher for 15% off all their own branded vitamins and minerals.
