    thanks. I get easily confused. Thought people said you could have an appx 50p to £1 spend and get the till spits so is this not the case then :confused:

    so with the above lmcg123cat did you get both till spits and pay £2.56 is that right

    sorry if I sound really dumb but my head is spinning :D

    yes i got both till spits...there might be a cheaper way of doing it but i wanted the wipes anyway

    i nearly didn't get anything in Boots today!! went to the metro centre and Boots was closed!!!!!! the glass lift had shattered and health and safety had closed the shop as there was glass everywhere...had to go to team valley instead. When i came back..about 2pm..it was just reopening with bits cordened off...of course the nail file section was closed off!! There was glass all over the display....the SA wouldn't let me have any JK nail files despite me saying I didn't mind a bit of broken glass in my packaging...she was having none of it..LOL...so near and yet so far...I could see loads of them as well!!

    lol whats the chances of something like that happening eh

    cant get by us bootsers though there is no stopping us :rotfl: always have a backup plan lol

    I think I understand why I didnt get a till spit with this but i also done this one and only got one till spit the face one

    2 mitchum 6.56 now 4.56
    other item 88p

    total £5.44
    used 2 x 1.50 vouchers brining the total to £2.44

    so why didnt I get a no7 voucher with this??

    I asked the boy and he said it didnt come up on the screen

    don't know why this didn't work?? are you sure the mitchum was 3.28 each originally and not the cheaper one?

    yeah think so cause the receipt says 6.56 now 4.56 so half of the 6.56 is 3.28 right

    thanks for all your help its very much appreciated. off to boots hopefully wont muck it up again
  • Well I had an ok Boots shop today:

    Shop 1:
    Mitchum 200ml from £2.65 down to £1.65 x2 =£3.30
    Revlon skinlights £9.95 down to £4

    used 50% off mitchum and 2 mitchum £1 vouchers

    Total=£3.80 and 2 till spits

    Shop 2=
    Got the Bogof on No7 suncare £10.50 each and GWP,handed over £5 voucher and was told I wasn't allowed the GWP as I haven't spent over £20!! Told her to forget the transaction.
    Instead picked up time delay wipes,handed over till spit and 200 points voucher

    Shop 3: No7 lip and eye screen Bogof at £2.88 now!!!!!???????? Handed over till spit didn't realise till I left the shop otherwise I would have got something else.
    Can't the sa's give me the GWP with the above transaction,so sad :(

    Evening, i am a total newbie at the Boots shopping phenomenon, i have appled for a boots card online, do they take long to arrive, as i went to boots yesterday and was given a receipt and told to come back when i have my card to put my points earned on, it was only 40 points but its a start.
    I have been trawling thro' posts for last two days to get upto speed with you wonderful people on here....
    Thank you for posting and showing others x
  • Hiya ladies :j Everyone calm now after their exhausting scrambles around Boots? :rotfl:

    I managed to pick up some Trevor Sorbie (which I was almost as happy about as the tilspits and No 7 vouchers ironically! :rolleyes: ). I got 2 lots of the Curl Cream as it is great, they are £4.99 each, these ones
    hero.jpg

    If you use the mag voucher the two curl creams cost £2.01 due to the instore two for £7 deal kicking in too.

    I also found a Time Delay peel set (3 bottles in box) reduced to £3.75. This was £7.50 last week on clearance so I scooped it up and used the mag voucher for 200 points too.

    Picked up a Time Delay Facial Exfoilater for free with my til spit and got a Mink No 7 Eyeshadow for only £2. Obviously should have built up this transaction to gain another tilspit and voucher but didn't and I forgot to use the mag voucher so lost out on 200 points! :rolleyes:

    Needed more hair dye so picked up my current fav, L'Oreal Casting in Chocolate which is reduced to £4.99 and got another Mitchum to get the total over a fiver. So I now have a No 7 voucher and a tilspit for next time I visit.

    Could I please ask if anyone has managed to get multiple amounts of Trevor Sorbie in one transaction?

    Think I will get some more TS next time I go and also get the Marie Claire mag for a £1 but til showing full price, plus chuck some Tunes/Soothers in the basket to get to £5.
    Has anyone removed the 250 points inside the No 7 GWP to use there and then to actually get the GWP, or is that frowned upon? Don't really want more Tan Maintainer! LOL Or anti dark spotty face stuff! :rolleyes: What other combos are you all doing?

    Also just to be a complete pain has anyone got a pic of this mascara that is apparently reduced to a fiver so free with the No 7 voucher? Am sure it wasn't at my local. :confused:
  • I tried to use my 1500 Oral B points voucher yesterday on two of the £14.99 brushes, but it didn't work :0( And no Boots vouchers for me yet this month. :0(
    :grin: Save me from spending...
    Sealed Pot Challenge 2008 - £1004:T 2009 - £1139 2010 - £1260 :j 2011 - £1557 2012 - £740 :beer: No 195 Target £1k
