Boots Recycle Programme

Has anybody used this? Please can you help me with how it works? I’ve uploaded items to the app and they’ve been approved. I understand I then take them to a shop to deposit them, but how does the credit work? Do I have to spend £10 in store before I qualify for the £5 credit. Can I not leave my £5’s to build up and then use them for other purchases? I think I heard somebody say the ‘credits’ are only valid for 24 hours? Can I only deposit 5 items a day. Sorry for all the questions 😂 struggling to find the details online!

You can deposit as many as you like at a time, but it will only count towards 1 lot of £5 credit, or when you choose to deposit through the app, you can choose which items you're depositing, I've never done it but I'm assuming you could do multiple lots of 5's but then youd have to spend £10 x however many depsoits. When you deposit in store, it'll give you a voucher on the app, once you open it you've got half hour to spend £10, and I think it maybe they last 3 days before you have to spend the £10 to get the credit? Not 100%, I normally just do a deposit when I've got £10 worth of stuff to buy.. I've probably got about £40 in £5 credits at this point 😅 hope that makes sense lol x

Yes you have to spend £10 to get the £5 back in points then the points will stay on your card as normal. The voucher is only valid for 30 mins once you reveal the code not sure how long for if you don’t reveal the code. You can deposit more then 5 items but then you will only get one voucher to best to save them and do it on separate occasions x

What do you recycle here?

I recycle nappy packets, baby wipe packets and baby food pouches mostly. They take lots of male up etc too. There is a massive list. You upload a picture and categorise it then you get a message generally within the day to confirm if it's been accepted or not. Hope that helps!!

Hi everyone, deposited 5 items this morning and tried to buy an Aptamil 1st milk formula tub for £13 in order to claim my £5 voucher. It wouldn’t accept so I asked the assistant and they said baby formula doesn’t count towards the voucher, even though it was over £10! Has anybody else had this? Sorry for all the questions, amateur over here 😂

Yeah unfortunately baby milk doesn't qualify because it isn't allowed to be on sale/ any benefit schemes 🙄 We use it for baby food jars, nappies, wipes etc (or my own makeup when needed lol)

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers
