And it isn't the only way you can save in Boots.
A finance expert has shared that there is an easy hack many people can do next time they are in store.
She shared how women should not be tempted to 'pay more for pink packaging.'
In a clip on her @thefinancegurl account, she shared how she wanted to stock up on her favourite Hyaluronic Acid Moisturiser from Boots.
She explained: 'It costs £5.40 for the 30ml bottle but if you head over to the men's skincare section you can get exactly the same product for way cheaper.

'This one costs £2.50 for 50ml of product so you're actually getting more product for half the price.
'When you compare the ingredients side by side they are identical.
'Nothing is different apart from the fact that one is in green packaging and one is in pink packaging.'
She advised when you are shopping for toiletries that it is worth checking if the men's section has a cheaper alternative as 'pink tax' is 'very real.'

Aldi to open new Deeside store tomorrow
The supermarket giant currently has more than 1,050 stores across the UK, and is working towards a long-term target of 1,500. Aldi is opening an average of one new store a week between now and the end of the year, bringing its award-winning value to even more communities across the UK. Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, Jonathan Neale, said: 'At Aldi, our goal is to make sure people across the UK have access to affordable, high-quality food, and opening new stores is key to making that happen. 'We're now opening an average of one new store a week for the rest of 2025, showing just how ambitious our plans are to build a store network that will help us reach millions of new customers. But it's not just about openings - it's also about making sure we have the best-paid teams in place to run them.' One of the new Aldi stores opening before the end of 2025 is located in Deeside. The 21,000 sq ft supermarket is located at Airfields, on Welsh Road, Deeside, and will open its doors to the public for the first time at 8am on Thursday (August 14). The new Aldi store is located near the A492 in the new Airfields development. (Image: Cavendish Consulting) The new store will be run by Store Manager Spencer Kearney, along with 27 staff from the local community. There are still jobs available at the new Deeside store, a list of which can be found on the Aldi website. The new store will offer customers access to Aldi's "high quality, low-price" products, while Specialbuys will be available in the middle aisle every Thursday and Sunday. There will also be a 'Food to Go' section at the front of the store. Olympic bronze medalist, Lois Toulson, will be on hand to help open the new Aldi in Deeside on Thursday. The Team GB diver will cut the ribbon and help give away complimentary bags of fresh fruit and vegetables from Aldi's famous Super 6 range to the first 30 customers in the queue.

"It's set to be a special day and having Olympic hero Lois Toulson join us will make it a morning to remember.' Toulson added: 'I'm so excited to be opening Aldi's new store; it will be great to chat to customers and a lovely way for me to thank Aldi for its support of Team GB.'

HMRC using AI to snoop on people's social media accounts
HMRC is using AI to scan for signs of a lifestyle that could indicate tax fraud Tax inspectors are using artificial intelligence to snoop on Brits' Facebook, Instagram and other social media posts in the hunt for evidence of tax fraud, it has emerged. The technology, capable of scanning for signs of lavish lifestyles such as luxury holidays or expensive purchases, is already being used in criminal investigations. Officials insist it is used only in serious cases and with 'robust safeguards'. But campaigners and MPs have warned it risks becoming a mass-surveillance tool that could wrongly accuse innocent taxpayers. The admission comes amid growing concern over the creeping use of AI in government decision-making – and fresh memories of the Post Office Horizon scandal, where blind faith in computer systems wrecked lives. Bob Blackman MP branded the tactic 'draconian', warning: 'If they start taking legal action against individuals based on that, you can see there's going to be a problem.' Sir John Hayes, former security minister and chair of the Tory Common Sense Group, said: 'The idea that a machine must always be right is what led to the Post Office scandal. I am a huge AI sceptic.' The AI tools work alongside HMRC's powerful 'Connect' system – a data-crunching network that has for years scanned billions of records from banks, property deeds and other databases to spot potential cheats. Chancellor Rachel Reeves has ordered officials to claw back £7billion of the UK's £47billion 'tax gap', and HMRC is trialling AI-powered assistants to flag suspicious returns – even issuing warnings that could later be used in court. Critics warn the technology is edging towards making automated decisions, despite HMRC's insistence that 'a human is always in the loop' and has the final say. The fears intensified after a tribunal ordered HMRC to reveal whether AI was already being used to assess claims for research and development tax credits – a move prompted by a Freedom of Information request from tax expert Tom Elsbury. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is also trialling AI, with 20,000 staff using it to draft documents and summarise meetings. HMRC has approached around a dozen tech firms about using AI to help recover billions in unpaid tax – much of it linked to offshore accounts. An HMRC spokesman said: 'Use of AI for social media monitoring is restricted to criminal investigations and subject to legal oversight. It supports our processes but does not replace human decision-making.'
