Boots instore have a glitch - the 75ml bottles of Soltan go through the till at buy 1 get five free Shock

I bought 12 bottles tonight for £11. It includes the kids high factor stuff and also the once a day. Factors 15, 30 and 50.

The lady on the till said its a glitch which combines the current BOGOF on sunscreen, with the 3for2 on travel mini bottles. She said it had been flagged to head office but that they weren't bothered!

Just thought I'd share Smile

I think the date on them is 18months so yes, we'll definitely use it all (and more!).

I might go back for some more Wink can't believe it's still working!

Haha! Same here Tequila! I don't like having to cart around 3 different full sized bottles whenever we go out so the smaller sizes are ideal.

DP likes to take a bottle to footie and now I won't feel quite so Angry when he loses them!

Just worked for me, the once didn't though

Still working this afternoon! Thanks Grin

Tried to use it yesterday in a big store. They had taken them all off the shelves and when I asked about it, was told they had been taken off because of a pricing error.

Tried my local smaller store today and not only were they happy to sell me them, when I asked about the once and children's ones she told me she "would make it work if she had to, as the signs clearly stated the 2 offers" all went through fine though.

Thanks OP we how have handy suncream hidden everywhere, we will never be without. Smile

Does anyone know if this still works?

pickofthepops · 23/08/2012 11:45

absolutely does - I bought a selection this morning. The cashier said this is such a good deal buy one get two free. I said, no, buy one get five free. She almost fell over. Two other members of staff heard and said 'go for it'... I suspect they were off to put some by for themselves. Didn't seem to know about the deal but happy to sell it. A decent selection left on shelves (a fairly small Surrey/Middlesex branch)

pickofthepops · 23/08/2012 11:45

meant to say, thanks OP, great tip.

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 25/08/2012 18:27

Umm didnt work for me on Friday it was buy 1 get 2 free

So I paid around £6 for 3 or abound £11 for 6

That seems to tally with the amounts most people on here are paying for buy1 get 5 free doesn't it?
Maybe I'm not reading it correctly?

Southwest · 27/08/2012 01:09

Agh I see not panettone
Maybe I'll email boots and see if they will give me some credit?

scottishmummy · 27/08/2012 01:11

yes still working staff looked bemused

Southwest · 27/08/2012 01:12

I see read it again and you did all get 6 for £6 ish

Maybe I choose the wrong bottles?

I've got 2 once kids water 50 and a once 30 hmmm

5madthings · 27/08/2012 01:13
