My friend had used 3 vouchers for mitchum 50% at Lakeside without problem at 7pm.

I said to her that the hand cream was marked on the shelf as included in the offer, but she was adamant it just meant the Total Effects facial skincare range was included. :rolleyes: She started to get really quite flustered and cross, so there was no point trying to stand my corner, as it wasn't worth making (even more of an) enemy of her!

To be honest I'm in two minds whether or not to complain. The SA in question has been there for a long time and I see her most days there. I suspect she would work out it was me who complained, and this may just make it worse if I have to be served by her/ any of her friends again

From now on I'm only going to pay upstairs in that store, as downstairs you don't know which SA you will get until you're at the front of the queue- even if I have to buy a mountain of paracetamol over the year to feel justified paying at the pharmacy counter!!!

Thanks for all the kind messages guys, made me feel much better. And as Mrs Bluebear says, for every rude SA there is a helpful one

Oh you poor thing!

You should report her because that kind of rudeness is unforgiveable - the Total Effects Hand Cream is included in the offer, I've seen it marked up on the shelf as included in at least three different shops - and it scans perfectly well.

Please don't give up because of her!

I have a question today i brought No7 sun stuff (can't remember what its called) it a serum gradual tan for face anyway £8 each bogof put through a GWP and a packet of No7 wipes...on the receipt the Gwp was scanned after the sun stuff but before the wipes iyswim so did i get the GWP with only the sun stuff. Does the receipt show in the order it was scanned?

There's one called Rock n Rose and one called Rock n Rose Couture, which is the nice one?

Also, you get free body lotion with this one. free body lotion and make up bag with Stella... and free nothing with marc jacobs, but it is cheap...£50 for 100ml :eek:

Not as I have a lot of perfumes or anything but I have the Rock n Rose Couture and after comparing them for ages I decided this one has the edge on the normal one.

Do you normally like floral scents? Because Stella is my all time fave! But I also lurrrrve Paul Smith Roses. I also am quite keen on Kate Moss perfume, which is surprising because I don't like her :rotfl: But when I'm in less of a really flowery mood (or for evenings) I totally love both Pure Poison and Midnight poison.

I have to say after hearing people raving about Marc Jacobs Daisy I wasn't really that impressed with it (well I didn't have to buy it that second like I normally would :rotfl: )

Does anyone else like the Gwen Steffani perfume? I never see anyone mention it but I really like for a change.

And I am still waiting for a good offer on the Chloe perfume, I neeeed it


To keep it on topic, I have bought virtually all my perfumes from Boots :T

Ooooooooooooooooooh regarding the possible half price offer on electricals. I was thinking of getting the No.7 mirror with the lights at the side £39.99 with points. It would so make my weekend if that went down to half price!! Does anyone have it? Any good? Also asked about the heated No.7 eye lash curlers I bought today - wondered if anyone owned them and what they thought?

One more question. Im off to Suffolk this weekend and will be bootsing. Mum and Auntie will be there again too, lol. Apparently the nearest large towns are Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds. Any Bootsers from these locations who can give me the low down, lol.

Ta very much.

Evening all - had a pretty good shop today...

Shop One
TS Long Hair Masque thingy – 5.99
TS Brunette Shampoo – 4.99
Botanics face scrub 2.65 (1/3 of)
Sensitive Washing Liquid – 1.89 (1/2 with HC)
2 x Mitchum Sprays

Used TS voucher and one of each Mitchum.

End price was about 6.50 ish – with two vouchers.

Shop Two
Nail varnish NO7 - 06.25
TD Cleanser – 4.50
Cotton Buds – 55p
Therapy Bubbly bath – 2.49
Lacy sock things 88p (were 3.50)

Used No7 pinkie; till spit; 200 point TD voucher; 100 points when you buy boots hosiery; and 50 points when you buy Therapy bubbly bath.

End price just over a fiver so two more vouchers.

Shop Three
2 x glasses - £125 each

Glasses are BOGOF atm; and i used my £50 Vision Plan discount so two pairs of funky glasses for £75



I also got a £15 refund due to a debit showing twice on my bank statement (plus the SA refunded my £3.00 bus fare)

And i got an £84 refund on my contact lenses due to problems with Boots not delivering them and still taking the direct debit.

I know both were my money to begin with but; i am actually about a tenner better off after all my shopping today... that never happens :T

There are still a few of these in my local Boots, at £3.25 each. If you want me to pick some up, please pm me how many you want. I'll need you to cover cost and postage, though!

I don't think that Boots would be able to do anything about the Mitchum vouchers (e.g. comeback for those that have used them).

The vouchers' terms and conditions should have been clearer if they don't want people to 'take advantage' for want of better words. IMO 'one per item' is opening the floodgates ! The company who issued the vouchers are the ones who will have to honour all the coupons that Boots send back for 'reimbursement'. There is nothing (that I can see) in law that Boots would be able to do to people who have already used the coupons as the 'transaction' has already been completed at the point of sale. I suppose they could withdraw advantage cards but that would be a bit harsh, considering that items have already been purchased and in the legal 'offer and acceptance' terms of a contract, the contract was made at the point of sale and there should be no comeback afterwards.

Only my opinion (did do a bit of legal a few years ago) but really can't see Boots penalising anyone for use of these vouchers. Plus they do get reimbursed for the full amount of the voucher (and sometimes, dependent on the companies involved, get a few extra pence on top too).

Have also checked on the Mitchum website and cannot see anywhere it says 'only print one' !! I might be missing something though so please feel free to tell me if i'm wrong !

Tiara sorry to hear of your experience, perhaps now you have got wheels you might be able to try in another store? I checked before and the store I went to had the little red tag on the handcream ~ it might be worthwhile contacting CS, I know you don't want to make an enemy of the SA but to put it in perspective you were right and she made you feel awful.

Wow, that's worrying! The thing is, the Mitchum coupons didn't say you could only print or use just one. Any idea what they are going to do regarding people who used several Mitchum vouchers?

'

What is the worse they could do, only take away our points and as you say the mitchum voucher did not say one per customer. also they (mitchum) have got us using their products. I have used the same brand of deodorant for the last 7 years now I'm using mitchum.
