Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 33 - Post your finds here

Hi ya

Thanks to everyone posting here - dipped my toe in yesterday by topping phone up to get vouchers, using the skincare one on a sanctuary cleanser, and also picked up the mag and got the TS deal.

My question is, having now got the mag free with my advantage card, if I take another to the til with the same adv. card, will it (a) give me another free, (b) charge me £1 or (c) refuse to let me have it at all?

Cos I am happy to pay £1 in order to get another 'go round' with the TS voucher, but that would of course affect what else I took to the till to make up a £5 spend. And I HATE to be refused entirely, and would rather go without the good deals than risk that! (Sad, I know!)

Sorry if this has already been asked.

Sam.

Yes I got 500 points pc, till spit and pinkie on £2.98 spend for 3 packs of huggies

That's a bargain, I couldn't get that yesterday. The proxy voucher beeped, and the SA starts reading the voucher saying that only one voucher per transaction. Anybody else have this problem? So I have to pay £8.96.

But will return it today.

Also got 2x No 7 nail files (£4 each), and give her the 2x pinky ones. She did in one transaction and said I have to pay £3. I asked her politely to void it and do it in a separate transaction, and she looked cross and asked why I haven't told her earlier.:mad:

Then the till spit survey came out and suddenly she became very nice and commenting how much points I got on my cards. She even wrote her name down, hoping that I will say something nice about her lol!!!!:eek:

It's one mag per transaction so you will get another free each time you visit the tills. I find that sometimes they don't even bother to scan them every time, not sure why.
Hope this helps and well done on tipping your toe LOL you're hooked now! :rotfl:

Thanks everyone :T for the lovely comments

and eyeshadow advice, seriously very much appreciated! I'm going to boots now (just when it's started raining, of course :rolleyes:) and I'll check out Barry M, 17, Ruby and Millie (my friend actually has that pallette and I tried that green once, the colour is a good match!) L'Oreal and Bourjois, thanks again!!

Just a quickie re Mrs-T's question

When somethig is reduced the till sees only the reduced price.

To take advantage of the till seeing a higher price you need to use a multibuy - like bogof or 3for2 etc.

The till then uses the combined total regardless of multibuy reductions to decide whether you can have the gwp
