Boots shoppers are only just realising they can get £100s off with freebies including Aveeno
BOOTS shoppers are only now realising they can make major savings with freebies which include Aveeno.
A fan of the high street chemist showed off her haul to a Facebook group saying they didn’t pay a penny.
The mum got the goods through the Boots Parenting Club.
Taking to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, the woman wrote: “Boots. With parents club it’s all FREE.
“Go to till and ask it. Find it in your app.”
She also posted pictures of the items which included breast pads, a baby’s bottle, folic acid and a 250ml bottle of Aveeno baby hair and body wash.
The breast pads are currently at the discounted price of £1.24 for a pack of 40 but usually sell for £1.65.
Shoppers would usually pay £18.00 for the MAM Easy Start Anti Colic Bottle and Soother bottle.
The folic acid tablets retail at £8.99.
While the Aveeno body wash sells for £6.50.
Normally, the cost of all the goods would have come to £35.14, without the discounts.
Another member of the group tagged in her pal and wrote: “You should fetch this.”
Someone else also tagged their friend and added: “Have you joined this one?”
While a third posted: “Might be worth signing up,” and also included their mate.

What help is available for parents?
CHILDCARE can be a costly business. Here is how you can get help.
- 30 hours free childcare – Parents of three and four-year-olds can apply for 30 hours free childcare a week.
To qualify you must usually work at least 16 hours a week at the national living or minimum wage and earn less than £100,000 a year. - Tax credits – For children under 20, some families can get help with childcare costs.
- Childcare vouchers – If your employer offers childcare vouchers you can get up to £55 a week in tax and national insurance savings.
You pay for your childcare before your tax contributions are taken out.
This scheme is open to new joiners until October 4, 2018, when it is planned that tax-free childcare will replace the vouchers. - Tax-free childcare – Available to working families and the self-employed, for every £8 you put in the government will add an extra £2.
