Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 46 - Post your finds here

crazyposhgal · 28 December 2008 at 12:48AM

This is continuation of Boots Grabbit Part 45
Updated - 7 January 2009

This post contains all the updated glitches, offers etc and post 2 contains Q&A so please read the first and second posts of this thread for any answers you need. This will save a lot of duplicate questions on this thread.

All Boots seems to have different policies. What happens in one does not necessarily happen in another. :mad:

BOOTS CS - 0115 918 2000
Boots Replacement AC - 0800 9150004

Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

Thanks CPG for the new thread. I was adding to the list of vouchers started by **Patty**, but never got chance to post it before the new thread opened, so will do what I can with it here. I don't know if the links will work though

**Patty** wrote: »

OH has returned with everything on the list :j

OK, are we having a list again of sets that contain vouchers?

Here's my contribution:

Sanctuary Spa Weekender Bag : £3 coupon for any sanc. spa purchase
No 7 hand & foot set: NO Coupon!
No 7 P & P white bag set : 250 points on any No 7 purchase
Soap & Glory Glam Slam: £2 coupon for S & G

*note for *newbies* : such a list is usually compiled ready for the 75% off sale instore

Thanks for starting the list Patty. BTW there is a coupon in the No7 Hand & foot set. It is hidden under the Hand saviour. I have added my contribution and and the minimoneyme & others that I can see. Hopefully there will be more to add from other people. I have posted the list in another post.

Clairog · 28 December 2008 at 1:16AM

Thanks for the new thread. I've lost touch with Boots for a while when I've been feeding my tesco addiction

so I'll need to get back into gear as I've been spending all my points in the sale
I just tried to join the facebook group but I didn't see where to add my MSE name??? Easily confused so will wait for 24hrs before I bother Broclo

crazyposhgal · 28 December 2008 at 1:23AM

Thanks Polls,

I have taken mine off now and will just link your one to the first post. EDITED - Might be easier if we have the list of vouchers without quotes though. Ta.

Edinburgh Bootsers - Princess St store accidentally put the UD stuff HP on boxing day, not sure if they have sorted it now or not but worth a look if your about. The smaller stores seem to have better stock of anything else though.

Lucky you! (sorry, not about missing the stuff you wanted, but actually getting an order in!)
I deleted my old account, made a new one, now that one seems to have the same problems, just can't get into the basket, and from the total it looks like it's stopped giving me the 50% sale prices

I give up! I will have to take my chances in store.
