Boots cut price of MAP to £10

[UltraVividLament]

Just seen that Boots are cutting the price of the morning after pill to £10, from £15.99 which now makes it the cheapest of the big three high street pharmacies.

What I didn't realise is that women with a BMI over 26 or weigh more than 11st need a double pack, so would have had to pay £32 previously, rather than £20 now at Boots.

Wasn't there a big row about this a year or two ago? Not last Black Friday but a while ago - something the boss of Boots said, maybe they raised the price then?

Ahh this was it

Originally it refused to lower the price

"Boots, however, said it would not lower the price as it did not want to be accused of “incentivising inappropriate use”. Campaigners said its statement was insulting and sexist. "

Can't believe that was 5 years ago!
