Cough medicine points didnt work for me - never mind needed medicine anyway for asthmatic daughter. However, got some Boots multivitamins & minerals - 3 for the price of 2. 30 tablets are reduced to 99p (£2.3? for 60). When paying there were special deals and I only paid 99p for 3 lots of tablets! BARGAIN.

Hello ! I just thought that although boring I would say that there is no evidence that any cough mixtures work! Sorry ,but certainly worth stocking up on Calpol type preparations!http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/newreply.html?do=newreply&p=934755#

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...."

it hasn't expired at my boots, i got 100 points for buying the paracetamol sachets just yesterday

you did have to get the voucher from the machine though

I hotfooted it to my local boots and bought up some cough linctus and paracetamol sachets - shelf price at my store £1.25. Lo and behold at the till no extra points and charged £1.49 for paracetamol. Rather more bizarrely I was given less than my normal 4 points per £1. After checking the information on the shelf staff added 507 points to my card and refunded 24p.

I understand the reasons why the first two anomalies occurred (i.e. offers and price had changed but the shelf hadn't been) but can anyone explain why I was short seven points? Does this happen often? I don't usually check my points in quite that detail and only noticed because of sorting out the other 500 points.
