Loads of magazines (with the highlighter voucher) in the Trafford Centre today, as previously reported here (thank you!).

I did two transactions:

1. Highlighter powder + No7 radiance revealed exfoliator (£7) + eye mousse (£8.50) + GWP

Used highlighter voucher then £5 off voucher. No problems at till. Paid just over £10 and got new £5 No7 voucher

2. Second transaction: Initially tried to make up £20 with a reduced/clearance item - till didn't accept as part of £20 spend and SA wouldn't override.

Then, got instead No7 stay perfect eyegloss £9.75 plus another highlighter and that made £20 so got another GWP! SA then said you can't use highlighter voucher and No7 £5 voucher together. She wouldn't put it through the till and claimed it was on her manager's instructions. I said I'd go and look for another item so kept my basket of stuff, went to the tills near the sandwiches and hey presto, no problem at all!

Treated myself to a Soap and Glory set for £3.33 so ended up paying £8ish. Suppose I should have found an essential item to take it over a tenner and therefore get another £5 voucher but I would have been going round all day and dh getting testy!!!

Thanks for all the tips and advice. The GWP is lovely and I'm delighted with today's goodies.

For anyone with the GWP the heavenly hands hand saviour is GORGEOUS!! I love it, and went to two shops today (quite big ones) and neither of them stock it, they said it was only certain branches. I need to grab me at least one full size of this with the £5 vouchers, they are that good. My hands are my downfall.

It looks like boots own Essentials range could be going through a revamp.

I bought the essentials shower gel for 30p on clearance stickers. Underneath was the same stuff at 59p each but the bottles where a slightly different shape.

So keep your eyes peeled.

Yours

I bought essentials handwash a couple of weekends ago at 29p - bargain!

I went into my local store (Luton) this afternoon and spotted the P&P collection:j it's the first time I've seen them in this store. Got chatting to No7 lady and she said I could have a GWP if I bought P&P set. She also said I could use the 5.00 No7 voucher - I was clutching in my hand (how observent!:rotfl: )I thought I'd throw a few more vouchers in for good measure, but the 5.00 PC would not scan again:mad: SA said she couldn't override till, but she did override the 250points voucher (from previous GWP) because that wouldn't scan. So I was pleased about that! AC machine wasn't so generous today and only offered me a 50points total spend coupon:p

In clearance section I found a EA pulse point gel for 30p:D nothing else worth buying though.

So today I spent 15.30 and earned 360 points + GWP + new 5.00 No7 voucher:D

I was just about to ask the same thing

Protect and Perfect £20 boxes available at crown point in leeds.
they lady serving me was well narky about me wanting to use vouchers for number seven and ended up calling customer services, even though i said if she couldn't use the vouchers i would still be takin the stuff, i think she was just a jobs worth.
she said People like me shouldn't get all this stuff cheapwhen other people have to pay full price for it and that i must have known this combination of vouchers would work and to split my shopping into 2. Ggrrrr. Case of the green eyed monster me thinks.
I knew to split my shopping into 2 because the £5 vouchers only work one at a time.
I knew the vouchers definately were fine because i asked the lady in meadowhall which ones i could use together and she was very happy to save me my £5 off and give me a highlighter and free gift.
I met another lady at the till who had a highlights voucher and £5 voucher but when i told her about the trouble i was having she decided not to bother.

naughty sales assistants If theyre not going to take your vouchers, then fine, but why do they create a scene about it ??
