This is continuation of Boots Grabbit Part 28 found HERE

Updated 6th July 2008

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.

  • re the 'Parenting club 'free' changing bag'

    **Can you actually BUY these bags instore?? - i.e PAY £29.99 for it (or is it like a 'free gwp' ie not intended to be sold on its own???).

    I've had a look at my PC coupon and it's out of date!!(31/05/08) - wanted to get it for my SIL - does anyone know if I can buy it instore??

    Would be grateful fo any help!!XX
  • Wow I'm one of the first on the new thread!

    I recently ditched lancome facial tanner for No17 Lasting Glow Wear Off Self Tan Face Bronzer that I'd picked up on clearance for £1.**. It's great stuff but this morning it had gone all watery and separated. It's a mystery, I used it 2 days ago and it was fine. It's not been in damp or wet place. Cannot understand it.

    I dont know if you can buy it but even if you could i wouldnt advise it! Its awful quality!

    Acutally is it the Pampers one now? Its the Hugggies one i had and it lasted 10 months and then fell to bits, had a spare so using that now. Also got the Pampers one too but its really quite small and i couldnt get all i wanted in it when DS2 was newborn.

    If you were getting it free and giving it to her letting her know it was a freebie then fine but it is NO WAY worth £30! You would get a much better bag for that price elsewhere!

    Thanks you GG, and thanks to everyone else. Its not too bad trying to keep up with you all lol.

    I tend to fall behind when i work. When i first started doing the first post i didnt work so use to be on all the time but now i do 3/4 nights a week so tend to disappear about 2.30pm to do the school run and get ready for work and then i can work upto 12am so tend to not get back to read it until the next day. As for the housework well this cup i bought says it all My Cup lol.
