Family pack of carex hand gel in stock at boots

60 replies

Fraggle45 · 26/04/2020 10:51

Incase anyone would like to get a few, boots are selling 6 bottles of the 300ml carex hand gel for just over £20

Free delivery if you spend £30 so we've added some suncream to the order

Carex has a high alcohol content in their gels, 70%

No good for your hand bag though as it's a big bottle

I think each bottle is 300ml

CutCopyPastedLikeYou · 26/04/2020 13:57

Ok thanks. Will order then if there's still some left.

manicinsomniac · 26/04/2020 14:07

Brilliant, thanks; just ordered some.

Seems crazy to have to get 6 bottles and spend £20. 2 bottles would have done for me easily, saved a lot of money and left more in stock for others. It's like enforced stockpiling!

SpnBaby1967 · 26/04/2020 14:13

Thanks, I was going to make an order for hair dye and E45 cream (my son keeps getting painful dry skin patches) so added this on.

Kidssendingmenuts · 26/04/2020 14:17

For those not wanting 6 bottles or if they run out online home bargains currently sell it at £3.49 per bottle. It's a max 2 per customer though

sittingonacornflake · 26/04/2020 14:38

Thank you so much. Just ordered. Think these will be so useful to keep in the cars as I expect will be hand gelling like crazy for a good year! Also ordered some vitamins and sun cream.

MrsPerks · 26/04/2020 14:51

Thank you. That's a clunky old site isn't it?

ThatDreamSheep · 26/04/2020 14:53

My mum got me one of those 300ml bottles last week from B&M for £1.. incase it's any help to anyone who can get out.

BruceAndNosh · 26/04/2020 15:21

Darn, I put some in my basket and while I was adding stuff to get it up to £30, it went out of stock!

Watsername · 26/04/2020 15:46

Thank you ! This is out of stock now, but I managed to get hold of an alternative brand, so am very happy!

Just so you know Avon do a hand gel too (limited to 2 per customer).

MsMiaWallace · 26/04/2020 16:15

Thanks I ordered these x

WinniePotato · 26/04/2020 16:17

How? Its been out of stock for a few hours

FiddlefigOnTheRoof · 26/04/2020 16:29

@manicinsomniac That’s why we will keep a couple of bottles and give the rest to family when doing food drops. You could ask if neighbours need any?

HavenDilemma · 26/04/2020 17:59

Who else read 'Durex' instead of Carex?! 😱

MsMiaWallace · 26/04/2020 18:20

Because I ordered it a few hours ago obvs??!!

Ilikefresias · 26/04/2020 18:23

All gone now!

Bearbehind · 26/04/2020 19:40

I wonder why they sold them in 6’s and not individually

WrongKindOfFace · 26/04/2020 19:52

I’ve seen the same bottles in Savers recently, but they’re sold Individually, if anyone needs some.

PumpkinP · 26/04/2020 20:16

I think it’s good that they are selling them elsewhere but not everyone can get to the shops listed so I’m glad I got mine!

manicinsomniac · 26/04/2020 20:18

Fiddlefig Yeah, I will. But I'll give it to them because I'd feel like an awful person selling it to them. Whereas if I could just buy 2 bottles, I wouldn't have spent £20. Which I guess answers the question of why Boots are doing it that way! 😆

TheSquitz · 26/04/2020 21:27

That's a clunky old site isn't it?

It was worse a couple of weeks ago when you had to wait in a virtual queue, only to find that there was no antibac stuff when you finally got on!

superstar84 · 27/04/2020 09:38

It's back in stock

BruceAndNosh · 27/04/2020 11:50

@superstar84 Thank you, I didn't think it would be back in so soon, so have ordered some and will pass on a bottle to each of my neighbours

KaptenKrusty · 27/04/2020 11:52

What do you all need it for? Unless you are still going to work of course I can see why you’d need it for travelling there etc

But surely now that we are in lockdown you can just wash your hands at home and you don’t need hand gel! I have a bottle in my house untouched for weeks - as I’m home all the time so it’s not required

Drogonssmile · 27/04/2020 11:55

My Tesco extra had these in yesterday, single bottles for £3.49.
