    TS - 2 Products for £7 - For example say they are both individually priced at £4.49 so you pick 2 of them up, 1 of them is Long range so you can use your coupon, the till does : £7- £4.49 (as you have a coupon for a free ts product) so in this case you pay £2.51.

    Pantene - Should work on any of the range but not on 75ml bottles.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Strange one, BUT

    In my local Ipswich store, Model.me is on offer at 2 for £5. I assume it means the whole range as the label just says model.me. Add the voucher from the mag and you can get 2 for £2.50 in theory.

    Boots have helpfully put out labels as well highlighting what you can use the £5 skincare tillspit on. Most of the Time Delay range can be had for free! I feel another Christmas hamper coming along!!

    PS. Whoever the other Ipswich Bootser is, can you please SHARE the products, rather than clearing the shelves each time! As my partner or I will pop in and have a look each day, we know somebody must be taking job lots at a time as offers only put out that day have gone within hours.

    My local has also put these labels out .............................but the price on the ticket is AFTER the £5 off.Very confusing . I thought I could get stuff for free but not so ! The only things that are free are the wipes and the cleanser and toner I think.

    I posted this earlier but I don't think anyone noticed it.

    A No7 SA was saying to the SA serving me 'This Boots is the only one in the region who are going to be doing the mega weekend...'

    What is a mega weekend? Sounds exciting?!

    Hi Gemma

    Think is the 75% of sale that Boots have, they had one last year. Broclo will let us know when it is on. She mentioned something about end august.

    mega weekends: these are normally the triple or double points events, aren't they?
  • Boots have reduced their toys!!!!!!

    I was there for 9am and there was hardly anything left. 75 % off the majority of the toys at craigleith Edinburgh. :eek: About to head out to another boots. Also managed to get some heffalump stuff (plates etc) and humphrys corner cups!

    Spent £30, got back 6 of each till spits and got two lots of the TS LH blue shampoo and conditioner. £1.98 back for each pair using mag and pc coupons bought on ebay.

    Couldnt believe that they had reduced teletubby teletummies to £6.25!!! Sold out though so my wee Abigail will just have to wait lol!

    Also used two till spits to get olay hand cream. With one i got 600 pts and free wipes the other only 600 points. :T

    Managed to get one of the digital keyrings for £6.99 that holds 180 photos for DH birthday.

    Good shop for me, well pleased!:j
    Tesco Points : 19288 :j :j
    Boots Points : 6044 :D
    Pigsback Points : 99 :o (£40 boots vouchers received!)
    Quidco : £16.89 (£184.90 paid) :T
  • Huggies voucher (distrubuted from mse)

    Please please please can anyone planning on using the vouchers try to remove my name from the top, either before printing or tippex etc as this one appears to now beep when scanned and I had a problem at boots yesterday, I really dont want any comeback on me for sharing my vouchers and Im away to spend my points today incase my accounts been flagged or something.

    Right so we were wrong the till doesn't see the normal full price but the already offer price. So you can't include the -£1 in your adding up. so here goes is this right. if i buy

    2 x £1.65
    1 x £2.79
    = £6.09 till thinks spent over £5 so i get the till split. had over 3 x 50 %
    if allowed
    - £1.50
    - £1.50
    - £1.50
    = £1.59 to pay
    It's silly my tummy is turning just thinking about doing it. i'm sure i go bright red when i am at the tills .

    I don't understand why for some it isn't seeing the £1 off offer price as a brand coupon, when that's what it says on my receipt and buying one Mitchum with two different vouchers, I only paid £1.73 for all my stuff and still got two till spits. I wonder if it's store specific based on how they programed the tills to handle the offer price of the Mitchum? Like some stores put it in as a brand coupon, but others don't have it that way?

    For anyone that the Mitchum glitch didn't work for using two different vouchers, does your receipt look like this at the bottom:

    BRAND COUPON 1.00
    BRAND COUPON 1.00
    BRAND COUPON 1.50

    That is what my receipt looks like. One of those £1 is the offer, the other is the printable coupon, and the £1.50 is for the 50% off. I'm trying to determine if I can still spend just £1.50 to get this deal, or if I only got it due to what the other items were in my basket -- I had gotten 2 dove handwashes that were half price, but perhaps the till counted them as full-price? I want to get things besides dove today and don't know if I need to hit 1.50 or 2.50 to make it work with the mitchum glitch.
