A BOOTS shopper has revealed how they got a packet of Pampers worth £5 for free.
The savvy shopper could not believe their luck after picking up the baby essential for nothing.
Writing on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook group, they said: "Check your Boots Advantage card if you're in the parent and toddler group.
"You can get a pack of size 2 or 3 pampers nappies."
But many fellow shoppers were confused about how to find the offer or why it was not available to them.
Boots has a free parent club for Boots Advantage Card holders who are expecting a baby or have children under 5.
The scheme offers benefits like extra points on baby products and free gifts.
You also get eight Advantage Card points for every £1 spent on baby products.
But customers can also get personalised offers such as freebies and discounts on products they buy frequently.
To find the exclusive offers that are available, you need to log into the Boots Advantage Card app.
You should be able to see personalised offers in the "My offers" section of the app.
These deals can then be redeemed in a Boots store.

And it is not just nappies that shoppers can get discounts or freebies on.
One shopper picked up free breast pads, a dummy and a milk bottle by using the scheme.
In the past customers have also managed to pick up a 250ml bottle of Aveeno baby hair and body wash.
The programme also gives free gifts at key stages of your baby's development and parenting advice.
OTHER FREEBIES FOR PARENTS
The Pampers Rewards app lets parents earn points for every nappy product they purchase.
Every packet of nappies or wipes comes with a QR code which parents can scan to earn points.
These points can then be converted into money -off vouchers that you can use in major supermarkets such as Tesco or Sainsbury's.
For every five stamps you collect, you get a £2 off voucher to spend on a Pampers Jumbo+ Pack.
Parents also earn more points as their child goes up in size, with larger nappies earning more points.
Ella's Kitchen gives parents vouchers for its food pouches when they sign up for its "Ella's Friends" loyalty scheme.
The package also comes with a free baby weaning chart to map your child's progress.

Meanwhile, M&S customers who join its parenthood group can get access to two initial offers.
One of them is a year-long 10% discount on baby grows - for example, a five-pack of pure cotton sleepsuits, usually costing £15.50, will be £13.95.
They can also enjoy a free slice of cake, pastry or a fruit pot, every week when you buy a hot drink at a M&S cafe.
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.
