I went to Boots yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) and the offer was still on for me.

It definitely wasn't there for me. There were also two others - 100 points when I buy any Hackett grooming product (I had bought a shaving gel on Saturday at £1.95) and also 50 points with any "Everyday indulgence" range, and I had bought a lavender handwash so I couldn't understand why these offers were still open for me, yet the Smile one wasn't.

What's ridiculous - haven't you ever been over to the Old Style board? Or the Debt Free Wannabe Board? Or the I-wanna-lose weight thread?

Just what I thought..i actually looked through the list to see if there was an obvious error like ..food budget £2 per month etc..but no...
so what is so funny!?

Why is it ridiculous? This is a moneysaving site.

Not only that, but it's not even a particularly 'frugal' budget..
seems like a reasonable amount to keep a family, with good food and transport, plus paying off a good amount on a c.card (wish we could budget even further to pay of that much!)

Boots Spa Calming and Relaxing Bath Crystals

original price 50p, bogof 25p each, might make a good stocking filler if you are placing an order with boots. :j
