I have just phoned both of my local stores, Bromley and Croydon, but they are not doing the large gift with purchase, just the small one with spf. Does anyone know any stores nearby which have the offer? They are both large stores so the offer must be selective.

My local took all the GWP signs down for Clinique and Estee Lauder this week.

I noticed that not all the stores are doing it. I went to Brent Cross the other week and they didn't have it either.

I got mine from the large boots on Oxford Street. Offer runs until 15th June but Clinique's GWPs have a habit of running out before the end date.

Hiya

Just looking at the vouchers in the back of the Boots mag and noticed that they say only one coupon per person. I have already used one 200 points when you buy any No7 suncare and as this will be linked to my name via Advantage card, will this pose any problems? Or is it simply a case of it shouldn't be done but some choose to? Or will the voucher simply not go through if I try to use a second one?

You can use as many vouchers from the backs of magazines as you want, but only one of each coupon per transaction. If you want to use a second of the same coupon, you just have to do a separate transaction (and a third, fourth, fifth, lol).

OMG thats nuts. you must spend a lot of time in boots :rotfl: and money

are you saving up for something special

No I'm not saving for anything - I'm honestly to scared to say "Can I pay with my points please!" :rotfl::rotfl:

I did shop allot on .com as I couldn't get out very often so gathered them from there but since discovering this thread well what can I say, I might as well live there!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

I have all my Christmas gifts curtsy of the 75% off sale in January and I paid with my points then but that was only £88 worth :eek:

I still have 2 fragrance £5.00 off vouchers would anyone would like them??

I also have LOADS of half price sunglasses if anyone needs some

:D

Can't recommend it enough! That is why I was on the site, so thrilled HC discount now online!

I also use the rubber gloves. I can't wear usually as the flock inside gives me a rash, but these are brill and they will not tear or thin out, brill things!

I agree, their rubber gloves are great! Just a shame they don't do them in small, as the medium are rather large on me.

That has happened twice to me this week but I didn't think I could have done anything about it!

Glad they sorted it for you

Instore yesterday there was a sign for All Mitchum Deodrant (on the deodrant shelf) 2 for £3.50.
I thought this was a bargain especially as the roll on is £2.79. But it didn't go through on the till. I got told by an SA it was only on the sprays. They were so adamant I thought I must have missed the small print. So I left the products but had another look at the sign which did not exclude roll on nor sticks. I pointed this out to the same SA who said their manager said it was deodrant only which means the spray one. I said this is not worded right as the roll on clearly has deodrant on it and is a deodrant. He ended up removing the sign!!!! He did offer to get the manager but I gave up at that point.
Has anyone else seen this offer and tried it with either roll on or the stick?
The spray is cheaper than the roll on but I can't remember the price.

Hiya, this is probably not the answer you are looking for, but both Tesco and Sainsburys have had the same Mitchum offer on recently (2 for £3.50) and it DEFINITELY included the roll on as I bought several. I think the offer is still running but didn't look this week as I didn't need any.

HTH

Right...yesterday's Boots haul

OH on his lunchbreak - bless him

:

Shop 1:

No7 Stay Perfect turquoise eyeliner £3.50 after using No7 £5 voucher

Shop 2:

No7 Stay Perfect electric blue eyeliner £3.50 after using No7 £5 voucher

Cambridge Retail Park last night:

Shop 1:

No7 Glisten lip gloss pencil £4 with No7 £5 voucher

Shop 2:

No7 Stay Perfect nail varnish £1.25 with No7 £5 voucher

Shop 3:

No7 Colour Miracle nail varnish £1.50 with No7 £5 voucher (I amazingly found a CM varnish I hadn't already got

)
Boots Essentials Cucumber eye makeup remover £1.49 (no flipping 100pts voucher in ACM again! Grrrrrrr!)
Photo corners 10p
3x Ted Baker mini EDT £2 each but on 342
Oral B Dual Action toothbrush heads x2 £2

Total to pay: £9.09 and 36 points

Handed over 200pts on photo frames/albums which SA didn't think would work on the corners but did!

New AC total of £31.31...peanuts compared to some of you lot, but well on my way to my coveted 50ml bottle of Midnight Poison

And Buffy's discovery of the day...I tested some of the other Stay Perfect eyeliners on my hand in store last night, and this morning despite my best attempts to remove the stuff I still had Adam Ant like stripes across my hand...So I dug out the Cucumber eye makeup remover and tried that...it didn't work...

So in desperation I started rooting around in the bathroom looking for something that would work...and came across a bottle of Durex lubricant...OH is peering over my shoulder as I type, amazed that I am sharing this story with you, but anyway...decided I had nothing to lose, and squirted a blob on and wiped at it with a tissue...

The result? Instant removal

So there you go ladies, a new moneysaving tip for you - if you've run out of makeup remover, try lubricant :A

Hi All :wave:

Just back from 2 weeks in the sun and took all day yesterday to catch up 25+ pages of Boots news!
(had computer problems ,hence it took me so long!)

I used lots of Boots goodies on holiday:D

No7 Firming sun lotion (from last years 641 glitch)
No7 Incredibly moisturising after sun mouse ( as above) Not very impressed ,its like covering yourself in squirty cream and was not very moisturising.I was glad i got a Marie Claire mag with free body butter at the airport!
No7 Cooling after sun face cream (641 glitch, part of facial suncare set)
No7 Bronzing pallate,very nice (from highlighter/gwp glitch)
Sanctuary mini face wash
Sanctuary mini toner
Botanics citronella oil to scare off the mossies!
Free wisdom toothbrushes
Reduced smile toothpaste.

I saved a fortune on all of that :T

OH took the minis from the No7 GWP i got the day before we left and was well impressed!
He also had reduced mens Soltan spray sun lotion!

Now I am using my S&G body butters to keep my skin moisturised and soft.:D

Can't wait to get to Boots!

Just need a shopping list.........
