Gawd, my 'net connection is so SLOOOOOOOW today!

Mr Buffy Bat has just been to Boots in Cambridge City Centre...

Bought the Natural Collection case using 999 pts and got the wash bag free :j

Then he bought the new No7 eyeshadow for me - I was being brave and waiting till pay day (for one of us ) till I get enough to get the GWP...not realising at this point that there is a No7 voucher too

So now I have two new spits/coupons (so far ) Had asked him to get some Time Delay stuff but silly Mr BB left the 200pts mag vouchers on his desk at work :eek:

You win some you lose some I guess!

He's got some more photos to collect from Boots after work tonight so will make sure that the total to pay comes to £5 (Original Source is on offer at 99p so might get him to get some of that) so I get another couple of spits. He can get some Time Delay stuff then too

On the subject of Boots vs Photobox - I use both. Photobox have been brilliant for lots of really good 6x4 prints, photo stickers, collages and Photo Books - but I had some 7x5 prints done with them which were printed really badly - the colours were all way off, and had them redone at Boots no problem. I was doubly disappointed with the 7x5 prints from Photobox as I needed those ones for a special album and for our holiday scrapbook

I love these stories of Mr Buffy going bootsing!! My DH is tolerant of my Boots antics but would never manage to do any of it himself.

Can you point me in direction of picture of the NC case? I might like one of these....

I keep trying to get him to join MSE but he says he's shy :rotfl:

The thing with Mr Buffy Bat is that his Mum is a pretty savvy shopper too, and always has been, so bargain hunting is something that has been drilled into him from an early age.

Plus, for Christmas this year, as we always seem to spend loads on presents for other people and end up with little to spend on each other (we always get the Doctor Who boxset though David T for me, Billie and Freema for him :rotfl:) we've agreed a nice set amount each to spend on each other - Plus we can make use of any vouchers we get through Pigsback + AC pts etc, so I think with my Dior perfume habit he's planning on boosting his points quite a lot!!! We've agreed on 10 categories of presents e.g. book, DVD, something naughty , item of clothing, perfume/aftershave etc, so it should be good fun on Christmas Day

Tried to use 500 points when you buy any two products from the Protect and Perfect range - didnt work. Im now wondering if I had picked up 4 products from the BOGOF protect and perfect sun range it would have worked because maybe as they are BOGOF the till only sees one IYSWIM.

Sorry to ramble but there ya go. Fantastic till spits - cant wait to go back. Want to get all the GWP's but thinking I might use points:eek: - checked this out and girl on counter said NP.

I've still got my PC Olay coupons too so keen to make best use of them. However I doubt you could hand both of them over with this and get money off other shopping. I've noticed a few times that I've handed coupons over and they don't beep and you assume they've gone through but when you look at receipt afterwards the money hasn't been deducted - seems to happen when the item in question is already "free", i.e. already had voucher used against it or is BOGOF. Two examples where I have noticed this have been failure of £3 off Mens No7 where the Men's No7 item was BOGOF and failure of PC save £1.65 on Baby Soltan which was already on BOGOF where I'd handed over 2 different PC baby soltan coupons - the PC save 2.50 on baby soltan did work because that one wasn't free.

Having said that, there are always exceptions and as this isn't a BOGOF it might work!!

I don't think it will work IMHO,
As when you do the glitch £5 off & 600 points & free wipes,
It only deducts £4.97, not actually £5. IYNWIM!

iieee

Just back from Boots and noticed that trevor sorbie stuff is on 2 for £7!

I *think* this means that if you buy 2 items and use the H&B mag voucher, the till will knock off the whole price of one, so for example:

TS long hair shampoo @ £4.49
TS long hair conditioner @ £4.49
Till does 2 for £7 = £7 total
Mag voucher takes off £4.49 = £2.51 final total

Also possibly could take off more if you got the intensive conditioner @ £5.99, and possibly leave you in credit if you use the PC voucher as well?

I couldn't try it though because I was only in Cowley Centre and they don't have any long hair stuff. :mad:

Assuming she said NO Do you mean get the usual items to get GWP but pay with pts instead of money? If so, as you can see above, my OH had no problem getting the NC washbag free with the NC case and he used pts to pay. Am sure others have used pts to get No7 stuff and got GWP with it in the past?
