    I have a very confusing shopping list.
    1, I bought my lunch in boots, £3.49. Got new TS. THAT BIT WAS EASY!:j

    After work I thought I might just pop down to Oxford St to get some more sun protection as I have just booked a holiday. I bought

    No7 Firm your Body SPF 15 (12.50)
    No7 Facial Sun Protection SPF 25 (£10.00) but free as 241
    No7 GWP

    T&G Model me Erin Dry Shampoo (£2.74) showed £5.49 on shelf:eek:

    Botanics 3 minute mask x 2 (£5.00) £4.99 each or 2 for £5.00

    17 Ultimate Lip Gloss (£3.79)
    17 Nail Polish (£2.69)
    17 GWP

    Loreal Excell 10 Hair Dye (£5.99)was £7.99 so saved £2.00
    Shaper Sparkling Cream Soda £0.99

    I was at the self service till and I used,
    250pts WYS £30
    500pts WYS £10 on facial suncare
    100pts WYB any 17 product
    250pts WYB Botanics 3 minute mask
    £5 off summer till spit*
    £1 off WYB 17 ultimate Lip Gloss

    I also scanned the 250pts WYB any model me product which didn't work and the supervisor had to come over to check as the till locks.

    The supervisor had a look through the receipt, and said that the £5 off summer till spit hadn't worked either so gave me it back.

    I paid £27.70
    saved £25.73
    and got 1046 pts.

    It looks like the till had taken off the £5 wys £20 on summer stuff afterall.

    Need some more sun lotion so will have to go back again tomorrow, but don't think I will go through self service till again as I get far too confused:confused:

    Hope this doesn't confuse you all as it has confused me.:rotfl:

    Just wanted to say thanks to whoever spotted the Huggies Newborn boxes were going through at £2.50 (really sorry can't remember who it was)! Picked up 2 today SEL said £5 but had them price checked at the pharmacy and they were indeed £2.50. Great buy for when my 2 pregnant friends "drop", lol. My good deed for today was pointing out this little bargain to a very pregnant lady who was looking at the Huggies stuff nearby. Think she thought I was mad at first though, she did buy one and said "wow that is good", lol. Edit: Was it pounds_in_bucks? Thanks!

    Hiya sam84uk -

    Thanks for the mention :D . I'm glad peeps have been able to take advantage of this offer. It's only down to this thread I am brave enough to get some stuff price checked just in case the price through the till is better than the SEL ;) . My store stopped restocking the shelves with these boxes after a few days, I guess they sold out. Must try the glitch with the new tillspit this w/e, Boots, here I come...

    Poundsinbucks x
    🥳🥳 SW -6st 3.5lbs 🥳🥳

    To keep it really Boots related ;) Is it normal for new AC holders not to get many offers in the ACM for a bit? Mr Buffy Bat has had his card for a while now and gets *** all out of the machine :(
    It took months before I started to get the ACM offers when I first got my own card.

    You should be able to combine the new till spit with the 500 points on suncare on 2 x No7 dark spot protector £10.50 and get gwp (till sees £21 you pay £5.50 and get 500 points so essentially free)


    Where's Broclo she's better at this?

    500 points when you spend £10 on no7 sun protection
    You only need to spend £10 on facial suncare and £20 in total on suncare so you could replace 1 x No7 dark spot protector £10.50 with one of these, if you will use them better:

    No7 Protect & Perfect Tan Enhancing Sun Protection 12.00
    No7 Protect & Perfect Tan Enhancing Sun Protection 12.00
    No7 Firm-Your-Body Toning Sun Protection SPF 15 12.00
    No7 Firm-Your-Body Tan Maintainer 10.00
    2 x No7 Protect & Perfect Anti-Ageing Lip & Eye Screen (£5.75)£11.50
    So these would be between £5 and £7, with 1 x No7 dark spot protector, gwp and 500pts also.

    100 points on botanic bath, body, accessory range
    Cheapest you can get is the Botanics Waffle Body Buffer £1.50

    500 points when you spend £10 on no7 skincare
    No point trying to combine with suncare offers at the moment.

    However if you get a No7 liplicious(use 100 points wyb from magazine) for £9.25, you could combine with say a No7 Uplifting Firming Mask 11.00, which would be £20.25, gwp and 600 points. Hardly the bargain of the year, but is if you will use them :)

    Other No7 skincare bits under £12 are No7 Line Lift 20ml 12.00 and No7 Essential Moisture Day Cream 125ml 11.50




    Where am I? Had bad evening! Little man took his first steps:D ...but straight into a metal handle on my sideboard:mad: , chipped front teeth(badly...smashed really!) and blood everywhere, so he has been feeding on and off for last 3 hrs!

    Amazing thing is...I can not get(last of my worries admittedly)a piece of his tooth out of the pewter handle :eek: , but he did hit it hard...one of those sounds that can only be described as 'sickening' :rolleyes:



    Better? :rotfl: No just more anal :rotfl:
