if you have planned to be using 500points coupons mailing/acm just check the barcodes as some are the same and so only one will work per transaction

does anyone know if when you purchase 2 clinique items you get to pick your own gwp or do you get given a specific one?

Generally struggling with sussing everything out after my month away, but this expert glitch has really confused me! Read link off of first post plus subsequent posts on this thread...but still do not understand whether you need 1 or 2 vouchers and how it works with items say £1.99 and £2.99 etc.

Only have 1 chance to shop next tues and do not want final totals to be under £5 of any transactions, so need to plan them with military precision lol.

Can someone do me a complete dummies guide to the expert glitch, with different priced items, including using the 500pts on baby dept etc...including the actual figures as really want to make sure I TOTALLY understand before my trip next week as I'll have about 15 mins to scoop stuff into baskets and put through about 15 or so transactions lol

Sorry to be cheeky and demanding, but my brain is still frazzled and it will save me having a nervous breakdown on the day lmao

TIA

6 expert things @ £2.99 with one voucher works out like this:

£2.99 x6 = £17.94

- £9 (- 1/2 voucher @ 6x £1.50)

- £8.94 (diff between 2for£3 and 2x£2.99 is £1.98 x3 as you're buying 6)

Total to pay = £0

So in theory with only 1 voucher things for E2.99 go through free and the others as follows!

baby expert moist cream 2.49 x 2 (50p with 1/2price PC coupon)

baby expert HTT wash 1.99 x 2 (1.00 with 1/2price PC coupon)

HOPE THIS HAS HELPED!!

Basically, the dearer the product, the cheaper they are, as the till takes off more for the 2 for £3 offer.
The price to pay is the price for the pair of products.

So if you were to get 4 x £2.99 products, and use 1 voucher, they should all be free.
If you do 4 x £2.49 products, you would pay £1
If you do 4 x £1.99 products, then you will pay £2

Only bargains I managed to find were half price imperial leather 500ml bath bubbles and milks at 74p each (I'm sure I saw the smaller 250ml ones for 84p??), got four for christmas hampers and saved £3.00 could of paid with my boots card but i'm saving that for nearer christmas. My mum has given me hers because she never uses it, it has about 400 points on it so far.

Also botantics were buy one get one half price so i got shampoo and leave in con. for under £5 which isn't too bad.


Also got a voucher for some bath creme, or something, 75ml tub for free, i couldn't find any in stock and it was kind of busy so i didn't bother asking if they had others.

Going to the branch in town tomorrow, they normally have a sale section near the door and one further back near the photo point. (My debit card keeps getting turned down there though :rolleyes: )
