Anyways sorry for putting s&s before, I am new on here and with all the s&s and s&g and bzywfb is me thingy me gigs....

I get confused soooooo much, so unless I am the last person up I am gonna go bed as well.

But I sure would like to know how you girls ( an guy), navigate around the boots website cause It really does me head in...

an with that she was gone like a puff off butter balmmm. c ya mara:silenced:

Was thinking....

I like Boots offers as much as the next woman but I'm also reluctant to spend actual ££££ folding cash on things that I don't really need or want. That's not to say I don't do it, but I do my best not to just buy an offer because it's a bargain! For instance, I've got a good handful of the S&G 200 points vouchers in my purse and know that 400 points back on a £5 item is a very good deal, but...I don't want to spend the £5 to get it. Especially as I'm not that fond of S&G, TBH.

Whereas yesterdays deal of spend £10 on a reduced Sanctuary set, get £20+ worth of products + GWP + £6 of Sanctuary vouchers had me digging in my purse for £20 for two sets, because I love Sanctuary.

Anyway, my question is: What's more important to you when looking out for bargains? The points or the £££s? For instance, do you prefer a £5 item with 400 free points, or a £5 item reduced to £1, whether with actual cash off or a voucher? Because it seems to me that there's currently less talk of the very good BOGOFs running (which is 50% off, after all, with usually a good choice of products) and more of buys like "Buy Item X for £Y, get Z-00 points back", where the points value is often less than 50% anyway.

Points or ££££s, when all else is equal? Spend your cash now and save points up on your card in lieu? Or buy less, have less points but more £££s in your pocket?

Hi Bootsters,

I prefer pounds in my pocket, but if there is an offer on a product I like, I will stock up to collect points or freebies. I couldn't resist the Illum offer and the GWP offer where you ended up with an Illum powder, GWP, a product from the No7 range minus the £5 pink voucher getting everything for aprox £7 plus bonus points. I would't pay full price for No7 but when it is on offer I will stock up and collect any bonus points.

I am guilty of adding things to my basket to get free bonus points but I try to put things like soap, hand wash, toothpaste, sanitary towels etc on bogof offer so it is still a bargain. I try not to buy things I won't use just because it comes with a free gift, but of course I cannot resist the odd treat for myself. I recently bought 2 x Juicy tunes lip glosses and got the free bag which contained another lip gloss with other goodies, plus another gift bag containing eyeshadow and brushes, so I consider that a luxury treat for myself.

Lemony x
