I usually end up spending a fortune, but today spent hardly anything and came home laden! I feel an addiction coming on!!! Did feel a little bit like a shop lifter with all my coupons and multiple shops.

Hmm yes I restrained myself not to get more Elle gwps today!!!!

How did you do it? I just couldn't :rotfl: If I lived nearer boots I would clear them out :rotfl: Dont even know what to do with them.

For peeps getting Ted Baker bags reduced today, was the SEL price reduced or did you take a chance and had a pleasant surprise at the till? It's just in my store today all the goldy TB bags were still full price (when looking at the SEL). I wish Boots had in-store price checkers like T***o. Just noticed the bags reduced on boots.com but even that doesn't guarantee the price instore, does it?

Actually, thinking out loud here, the Huggies starter box I posted about earlier, SEL said £5 but till said £2.50. Must try TB bag tomorrow!!

Why don't you just ask an SA to check price as they're reduced in loads of branches but not all i.e. still full price at very expensive Brent X though I didn't bother getting scanned as I have 3 cosmetic purses already :eek:

Reduced SELs here for the Ted Baker bags, quite prominent too. Must want rid of them! Also seem to have a different size than they had when they were all full price too. I bought the vanity case a little while ago reduced to £10 and there was a purse and a smaller one at that time. Now though there are no vanity cases but 3 diff sizes.

Sorry to repeat but has anyone managed to use the 400 and 100 points wyb No 7 Liplicious on a reduced item?

I was buying loads of expert and a JF serum on SS till and didn't want to draw attention to a low total with bulging bag as it was!! Mind you I had to have help from the staff twice as till kept doing weird stuff like say my bags weighed more than what I'd put in them (????!) and they didn't query anything. Does anyone else feel weird when the SS tills boom out the price of each item and then shout out a low total?!

Is there a limit to how many coupons you can use in one transaction on the SS tills? I was buying my UG stuff today which uses 2 different coupons and this button appeared onscreen saying "no more coupons". At the time I took this to mean that I was being told I couldn't use anymore coupons in that transaction but actually now I'm wondering whether it was for me to press to tell till I had finished redeeming coupons?

I thought it was just me.But I have realised that the younger s/a hate standing around to help with ss tills, and will put through anything for me.I thought I was rumbled today with a UG mask, but she just said ..ohh I hate these machines, and scanned my second voucher for me.I was sweating buckets.

A little off topic. I finally managed to get my free Meal deal today got the magic 6 in one month.Im sick of them now lol.

Can someone tell me which Garnier stuff is scanning at less than the SEL and sometimes even for free? Pics would be even better.
