Boots shopper reveals how she got Pampers nappies for free instead of £5
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. Beauty fans say Boots' new dupe is 'much better' than £21 lip mask Kate Moss & Kendall Jenner love & it's £16.50 cheaper 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. You can find out more by visiting 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.

Little-known site sees Marc Jacobs' 'perfect summer perfume' slashed to £33
If you've been looking for a new signature scent, Marc Jacobs' Dot, which shoppers say is perfect for summer, is now £33 instead of £99 thanks to this hidden gem savings site Purchasing a new fragrance requires a lot of thought and can be a real investment, especially if you're looking at designer fashion house perfumes that come with near-£100 price tags, if not even more. Luckily, if you are on the lookout for a signature scent, little-known savings site, Boop Beauty, has just slashed Marc Jacobs' Dot Eau de Parfum from £99 to £32.99 - that's a huge 67% discount! Dot is an iconic feel-good fragrance featuring notes of red berries, dragonfruit, and honeysuckle, which add a sweet, refreshing, summer touch. The soft floral notes of jasmine and orange blossom, with a hint of coconut water, give it a light, tropical feel that makes it perfect for summertime. Inspired by Marc Jacobs' iconic polka dots, the bottle features a gorgeous red-and-black spotted design with oversized butterfly wings for a playful touch. Not to mention, right on trend for this season. The gold coil around the neck adds a touch of luxe, making it a standout on any dressing table or shelf. Whether you're gifting someone special or treating yourself, Dot is the kind of perfume that feels like summer in both scent and style. Boop is not the only place where this summery scent is discounted. Currently, Boots is offering a huge 50% off, too, bringing the price down from £99 to £49. And if you're looking for further wallet-friendly fragrances, . Jimmy Choo's popular Flash Eau de Parfum, praised by shoppers for its long-lasting wear and feminine smell, is currently available for less than £25 in a limited-time flash sale on LookFantastic. Hundreds of shopper reviews praise Marc Jacobs Dot for its fruity and fresh scent. One happy shopper wrote, "It's a lovely, fresh summery fragrance that makes me feel warm and relaxed." A second added: "I have liked other Marc Jacob's so decided to give this one a try and I am certainly not disappointed I love the top on the bottle and the perfume is not like anything I've bought before, really like it." The only criticisms came from a few shoppers who claimed Dot does not last quite as long on the skin as some of Marc Jacobs' other fragrances, like his cult-favourite Daisy perfumes.

Best and worst bag fees from shops revealed as we name retailers charging YOU more
SHOPPERS are paying up to 566% extra for carrier bags based on where they shop. Research by The Sun has found differences are huge. 1 While Home Bargains charges 15p for a reusable bag, some retailers including Iceland and Waitrose charge £1 - an 85p difference. Health retailers Superdrug and Boots also charge £1 for longer life carriers. Retailers sell two types of bags - single use and reusable. Some shops have ditched selling single-use bags entirely, while others do have cheaper options for shoppers. We found the cheapest long-life bags on offer from Sainsbury's, Lidl, Tesco and Aldi cost 30p - and 70p less than some of its rivals. Since 2021, by law retailers have had to charge 10p per single-use carrier bag in a bid to reduce waste and help the environment - known as the plastic bag charge. The government estimated that in 2013 supermarkets gave out over eight billion single-use carrier bags to shoppers across the UK. But by 2023/24, the reduction in these bags dropped by 98% compared to 2014. The drop off in single-use bags has seen take up of long life carriers surge. However, consumer expert Martyn James has said customers being charged more for longer-life bags hints at profiteering by retailers. Shopping discounts - How to make savings and find the best bargains He said: "When the plastic bag charge was introduced, some grumbled, but at 5p a pop, it didn't break the bank. "A decade or so on and plastic bags come in at 30p a pop or more and many people I speak to feel there is blatant profiteering going on." We looked at the major supermarkets and retailers to see how much they charge for single-use and long life bags. Here's what we found. How supermarket bag costs compare All the major supermarkets don't sell single-use carrier bags apart from Co-op and Aldi which sell 10p compostable carrier bags. Co-op's bag, once used, doubles-up as a waste food bin liner, which can then be thrown away. Prices for these same supermarkets' longer-life bag options can vary significantly. Asda 's Bag For Life will set you back 40p while Morrisons ' paper Bag For Life is also 40p. Morrisons also sells plastic Bags For Life for 60p, and replaces any which are damaged for free. Lidl, Sainsbury's and Tesco 's Bags For Life cost 30p. Aldi sells an Eco-Loop carrier reusable bag for 30p while its Bag For Life is 65p. Waitrose doesn't offer shoppers Bags For Life, however they can get thicker reusable bags from £1. Frozen food specialist Iceland's woven reusable bags cost £1. How other major retailer prices compare Boots sells a variety of different size single-use paper bags. Small bags cost 10p, medium bags 12p and larger carriers 20p. Shoppers can also buy a medium Boots Bag For Life for £1 or large size for £1.20. Discounter Home Bargains only sells reusable carrier bags, which cost 15p in Great Britain and 20p in Northern Ireland. Fashion retailer New Look charges customers 30p for its Bag For Life. Poundland 's reusable bags start at 50p while it also has Bags for Life which start priced at £1. Meanwhile, Primark's single-use paper bags, which were previously free of charge, cost 15p and its reusable sacks cost from 80p. Ikea 's most popular "FRAKTA" reusable bag starts from 50p while shoppers can buy a larger size for 75p. Health and beauty retailer Superdrug charges 15p for its single-use paper bags. It also sells a foldable reusable tote bag for £1. A Primark spokesperson said: 'Like most retailers, we now have a small charge for our paper bags. "Reducing single-use paper is one small step we and our customers can make to reduce waste. "We hope this encourages more shoppers to switch to re-usable bags." A Boots spokesperson said: "A Boots bag for life costs £1 for a medium size and £1.20 for a large size. "The bags are reusable and are made from 100% recycled bottles." A Waitrose spokesperson said its longer life bags are a different design to traditional longer life bags. They added: "They are a durable long term option which our customers have bags of love for - and we want them to last years." We asked Iceland and Superdrug to comment. .
