This is a good way to stock up on cough medicine. Boots points are worth 1p, so by spending 99p you get another £1 to spend in boots. In other words this is free cash. Though of course be careful to only consume the cough medicine as directed.
Also, taken from a post elsewhere on the forum by bluep "Boots are offering 100 points on each child healthcare purchase - great for boots paracetamol sachets at £1.49 a pack, teething gel at £2 a tube, cough linctus at £1 a bottle...etc...."

Excellent find! What else is there in the range that is nearly as cheap? I have 3 so someone is always suffering with some ailment or other LOL
My baby is also suffering with a cough, he is 15 and nearly 6 foot!

Probably nothing wrong with him. Teenager- just needs a damned good boot up the ar*e.Just because you used to be you think everybody else is, don't you?0 -
Or hit him over the head with the 99p bottle of cough mixture
There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't
In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice0 -
The next cheapest in the range is boots pain releif paracetamol suspension 3 months plus sugar free strawberry flavour @ £1.49 plus the 100 points. By the way the cough mixture does not expire until 2008 so you can stock up for the next 4 winters.0

Might have to. He is a juvenile version of Victor Meldrew, nothing and nobody he does not moan and whine about from the time he gets up.
He says he has had this cough for weeks, which he hasn't but if I buy him cough medicine it wont work but at least he will moan about something different, how useless cough medicine is and how hopeless his mother is for getting one that wont work LOL“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

I thought that retailers were not allowed to incentivise the sale of medicines?
Something to do with the nanny state protecting us from ourselves.
Me...I'm going to buy a gallon and water down my meths.0
