Yesterday I bought some baby wipes on BOGOFF (a common thing), three lots of cold remedies each at 99p (reduced from about £2 each) and with each lot of cold treatment you get a pack of vit C tablets worth £1.75 free but the vit tablets are on 3 for 2 so an extra £1.75 off, 3 lots of shaving gel (tree presents for male relatives) and 3 lots of toothpaste both on 3 for 2. Total came to about £9. Will get more cold things before offer runs out, because worked out at £1.22 for three cold treatments and three lots of vit C.

Excellent spot, thank you! :T It's amazing how funny the Boots tills are, taking a 3 for 2 off even though the stuff is free! But hey, I'm not complaining!

(Have a cold at the moment, so actually need the stuff )

Thanks for posting this, I wondered how I ended up spending so little. I had four lots of cold remedy in my basket plus a plug in vapouriser and refill pack. Assistant popped six packs of vit C tabs in my basket, total came to less than the price of the vapouriser!

DH got 100 points on Traditional Skincare (hand cream cost £1.39), 200 points on Alternatives (inhalant oil cost £1.99), 250 points on Toni and Guy (shampoo cost £3.49) and 150 points on "Natural Extracts" shampoo. Asked assistant for help to find that product, they are "no frills" bottles costing £1.29 but 3 for 2. Spend total came to just over £15, and he got 1245 points in total!

Well today I had a little bit of luck went to a boots with advantage machine :j

sad I know.

My husband has a cold so got the cheapest cough syrup for 99p and free vit c tablets. I got a 100 extra points for smile toothpaste out of the machine. So bought one for 89p. Husband got 207 points on my card for a £1.88 spend as the girl got a bit flustered and scanned the the toothpaste 100 points voucher twice and just said "don't tell anyone" :rotfl:

And then I had a voucher for 150 points for everyday indulgence which is on BOGOF so bought two lots for £2.99 and used my 10% off voucher so that brought it down to £2.39 and I got 150 points. Bought them as xmas presents.

So for a total spend of £4.27 got £3.67 in points so in effect got the lot for 60p.

This rarely happens to me as I have no advantage card machines really near me not fair. Will be a long time before that happens to me again.

Yours

I went to Boots at the Fort Manchester today and put my card in for my offers.

One of them was 500 points for a boots first aid kit. The one on the pic was an expensive one. I noticed at the tills they had cheaper ones at 4.99 so asked if I could use the voucher on it. The assistant asked if it was the same as the one on the pic at the machine and I say I didn't know (even though I did and it wasn't) and she said she could try but she doubted it.

So I tried it, got my first aid kit for 4.99 and got 500 points, so all in all I got a free kit and 1p.

Not bad considering I needed one for the car anyway.

Obviously this offer may not be open to everyone as it was a machine issued voucher, but worth a try if your after a first aid kit all the same.

That's great- I'll try that tomorrow, :T as today when I went and got the voucher none of the 'Family first aid kits' had a price on them, so at the till I waited while the lady went on a big hunt and came back with one from 'upstairs' to tell me the price. £19.99!!!! And really it didn't look worth that to me so after all that I left it at the till.

I think I have seen these in the larger Lakeside boots. I will try the small boots in the meadows and let you know too.

Woohoo, did the cold remedy thing yesterday and got 6 items (3 cold remedies and 3 vit Cs) for £1.22 plus points. Thanks again diamond57!

Will have to go and do this again, methinks - always need the stuff anyway...
