This is continuation of Boots Grabbit Part 52
Updated - 2 May 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:

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.

    Just popping the no swapping/gifting/selling rule in this shiny new thread...

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=3477024&postcount=21

    Please do not ask for swaps, vouchers etc as refusal may offend, this includes asking for charity donations.

    Enjoy your Bank Holiday weekend shopping and I hope you get lots of Boots bargains :D
