Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 15 - Post your finds here

Updated 30th January 2008

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

BOOTS CS 0800 9150004 or 0115 918 2000

Boots Codes - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=566433&highlight=boots+code

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.

1) CURRENT BOOT OFFER AND GLITCHES

GLITCHES/OFFERS
The baby experts baby wipes are bogoff at 2.55, i used a half price baby expert voucher from the mailing, so they are 1.27.
the till then minused 0.51 for each packof wipes. so got 2 packs of wipes for 21p. Does not work in all shops

The Johnson's stuff is on 2 for £2.50 and the cotton wool is on 2 for £2. The Johnson's individual prices are £2.47,so the "till" online sees the original price @ £2.49......
So if you buy 4 of the Johnsons, you pay £4.96 but the till see's it as £9.96ish (sorry if the figures aren't quite right). Add something cheap like the cotton buds for 55p, and this takes you over the £10 spend..........but you only pay £5ish...
Baby Shampoo x 2 = £4.98
Baby Shampoo x 2 = £4.98
Cotton Buds x 1 = 0.55 (to take total spend to over £10)
= £10.51
200 points awarded
**the 2 for £2.50 then kicks in**
Total to pay = £5.51.
Thanks Jamtart
This offer also works with BOGOHP Selected Aussie Haircare, Selected Boots Haircare, Selceted Pantene Haircare, Selected Head & Shoulders and selected Herbal Essence

buy botanics men gift sets, take the 25% voucher and get another gift set on 75% off and the till takes 75+25 off, ie free.

Slimfast is currently on 342. Slimfast soups are 3x £1.20 (or £1.30) on 342 = £2.40 (or £2.60).
1/2 Price for HC = £1.20 (£1.30) to pay for 3 soups, which makes it £0.40 (or £0.43) each.:D
Get 15 soups for £6.00 plus 100 AC points from the leaflet, makes them effectively £0.33 (if they are £1.30, get 12 for £5.85 plus 100 AC points = £0.40).Thanks GeCon

Ipods are now being discontinued from Boots stores so if you want one grab it quick.

If you live far away it would be worth giving CS a call to check if the store you are heading to has any stock in.
Nintendo DS Lites will no longer be stocked in any Boots stores.

    Next Saurday my OH has to go to Manchester for a business meeting and wants me to go with him. "We" decided it would be a good idea to drop me off to go shopping with my 14yr old daughter who also has a boots card.
    Trouble is I have never been there before so where is the best place to be dropped off and where are the best Boots stores i.e. the best bargains.

    /Cheers.

    Sorry for soooo many questions..
    ____________________________________________________________________

    Yes its the Protect & Perfect. the 200ml is £99.99, but I dont think many people will pay that. So I think it will always go 'on offer 'to half price

    I used to use the Olay daily regenerating serum, which is brilliant, and left my skin looking and feeling so smooth. I switched to P&P when it first came out. On a personal preference I prefer the Olay, but the price of the P & P on a 3 for 2 is well worth getting.

    I did not start moisturising my skin until I was about 50 (Not so well educated as todays young women) I am now 61, but I receive comments frequently about my skin. I have hardly any wrinkles at all.

    I have even been stopped by strangers and asked about my skin, e.g what do I use. Both on Holiday and in shops. I am not saying, I look dead young, cos I dont. I just have exceptionally good skin for my age. I put it all down to good moistrising, but especially the serum. Plus I drink loads of water. HTH

    Hi Crazyposhgal

    Great to have a nice new thread. In post 1 (latest info) the first 2 links - where it says "here" in the 75% section don't work.

    Thanks very much for taking the time to do all of this - it is so helpful.

    I thought you would want to know.
    :)I used to have a life............................... before MSE!!
  • Ohhh shiny, sparkly new thread.:T

    Just placed my order on boots.com and used a code.......I'm learning slowly but surely:j :D
