Thanks crazyposhgal for all your hard work!

I have not been bootsing all week am trying to save for holiday and maybe go bootsing then lol.

I have been really poorly for 3 day's and with that and lack of sleep i think i have accidently shredded my envelope for the boots tokens from the sun as i cannot find it anywhere and i shredded loads of stuff late last night ...send me to the dunces corner please!!

Hope everyone else is ok.

Sorry to hear about your "accident" with the coupons! I've been terribly sick the past few days too (still peeked in here at times when I was well enough), and finally doing a better but still need to go back to the gp (I'm pretty sure the meds he gave me for an ear infection caused the bad reaction that made me feel like I wanted to be knocked out -- I stopped taking them last night, but head hurt so bad I slept maybe an hour and still can't sleep! Now my head is better, but my ears hurt as I'm not taking the meds! doh!).

Anyhow, I long to go Bootsing! Thank goodness no big sales or glitches are on, as I'd be going mad.

Awww hope you feel better soon, yes i am pleased there is nothing i really need and as i don't get PC or any good ATM vouchers anyway i usually miss all the bargain glitches ........by looking at my dressing table there is no room for the No7 GWP.

:j Thanks for the shiny new thread crazyposhgal :beer:



I think there must be an evil 'ear virus' doing the rounds as I've also been really ill with terrible earache (along with most of my extended family) so I must pop into Boots (gotta stay on topic ) to get some half price pain killers.

I nearly got excited reading about the No 7 GWP going through with no No7 purchases! Imagine how lovely that would be. :daydreamsmilie:

:eek: I spent so long working all this out that the old thread closed while I was doing it!!!!

Noone has reported using combined offers for photos yet but I've done some theoretical calculations as like many of you I am planning cheapest way to get piccies done this month. I must emphasise I haven't tried any of these combos below yet so this is just for illustrative purposes to help you decide whether to try using any of the coupons together and most efficient quantities to get printed in one go. I apologise in advance for any mistakes in these calculations, it's been doing my head in this afternoon but once I start on a mission.....

Vouchers currently available to my knowledge are:

• Tillspit £2 (min order of 15 prints, issued with any non-points purchase instore, valid to 28 Sept)
• Mag coupon £1.50 (no minimum order)
• Mailing coupon: 10 free digital photos wyb 20 or more photos (valid to 12 Aug)
• ACM coupon: Save £2 wyb 20 or more digital photos (valid to 29 July)
• PC coupon: 200pts wyb 20 or more 7x5 prints

24hr service 6x4" prints with just till spits:
15 (minimum order with till spit) x 20p = £3 minus £2 tillspit = £1 to pay = 6.7p each
50 x 10p (rate for 50-99 prints) = £5 minus £2 tillspit = £3 to pay = 6p each
100 x 7p (rate for 100-149 prints) = £7 minus £2 tillspit = £5 to pay = 5p each
150 x 6p (rate for 150+ prints) = £9 minus £2 tillspit = £7 to pay = 4.7p each

24hr service 6x4" prints with just mag coupon worth £1.50
8 x 20p = £1.60 minus mag coupon = 10p to pay = 1.25p each

24hr service 6x4" prints with mag coupon worth £1.50 AND till spit: (if both work together)
25 x 20p = £5 minus mag coupon and tillspit = £1.50 to pay = 6p each
50 x 10p = £5 minus mag coupon and tillspit = £1.50 to pay = 3p each
100 x 7p = £7 minus mag coupon and tillspit = £3.50 to pay = 3.5p each
150 x 6p = £9 minus mag coupon and tillspit = £5.50 to pay = 3.6p each

1hr service 7x5" prints with mag coupon (as outlined on the coupon itself)
5 x 30p = £1.50 minus mag coupon = FREE (hmmm... can this be bettered as how useful are 5 prints at once?!)

24hr service 7x5" prints with PC 200pts wyb 20 or more 7x5 prints AND tillspit (if they work together):
20 x 25p = £5 minus tillspit = £3 with 200pts back - 15p each but nominally 5p each if you bear in mind the points gained.

24hr service 7x5" prints with PC 200pts wyb 20 or more 7x5 prints AND tillspit AND mag coupon (if they work together):
20 x 25p = £5 minus tillspit and mag coupon = £1.50 with 200pts back - 7.5p each but nominally FREE if you bear in mind the points gained.

24hr service 7x5" prints with PC 200pts wyb 20 or more 7x5 prints AND tillspit AND mag coupon AND mailing coupon for 10 free prints (assuming they work together you will need to order 25 prints so till doesn't show up either 0.00 or owing you money!)
25 prints x 25p = £6.25 minus the 10 free prints = £3.75 minus tillspit and mag coupon = 25p plus 200 bonus pts back =
1p each for bigger prints
50 prints x 15p = £7.50 minus the 10 free prints = £6.00 minus tillspit, mag coupon and ACM coupon = 50p to pay plus 200 bonus points back = 1p each for bigger prints and 200pts back!:T

24hr service for 6x4 prints with tillspit, mag coupon and mailing 10 free prints coupon (if they work together):
28 prints x 20p = £5.60 with ten free prints = £3.60 minus tillspit and mag coupon = 10p to pay =
0.35p each

24hr service for 6x4 prints with tillspit, mag coupon, mailing 10 free prints and ACM coupon (if they work together!!):
38 prints x 20p = £7.60 minus ten free prints = £5.60 minus till spit, mag coupon and ACM coupon = 10p to pay =
0.26p each
66 prints x 10p = £6.60 minus ten free prints = £5.60 minus till spit, mag coupon and ACM coupon = 10p to pay =
0.15p each
100 prints x 7p = £7.00 minus ten free prints = £6.30 minus tillspit, mag coupon and ACM coupon = 80p to pay =
0.8p each

I must stop now.... DH has been very patient with DS whilst I was doing this!!

Hi i went to boots and bought the revlon offer with free eyeshadow, the sa didnt realise till i paid she forgot to scan one of the items, the eyeshadow was the first item scanned and it came up as free, i only bought one revlon item on that receipt it went through without a beep and she didnt make me buy the item she forgot to scan.
My max factor gwp one had one voucher in it, omg.
Could anyone explain to me how to do the baby oil thing?

I was in my local Boots yesterday and asked an SA at the photo counter if the 2 vouchers (mag & till spit) worked together and she said yes someone had done it. She couldn't remember the details but she knew the photos had to be on a 1hr service (as specified on the mag voucher)

The Mag voucher doesn't stipulate that it has to be one hour service to use it, it is a voucher for free photos to the value of £1.50 - it just cites 5 photos on one hour service being something that is worth £1.50. Voucher says "for example..."

Is it just me or is anyone else finding that this site isn't displaying properly - have tried in firefox instead of safari and it's even worse in that.

It's working fine for me in Firefox. Some pages will stretch too far over the screen if someone has put a big graphic of some sort on it, but otherwise it's fine.
