    Hello! :D

    Not sure if this is nationwide yet but I'm pretty sure it will be going that way over the next few days....

    All the No7 suncreams,aftersun,tan maintainers,all the P&P sun stuff is all half price in my local store & it's still currently on BOGOF! :T

    So the P&P Anti-Ageing Pre Holiday Serum is now £4 but you are actually getting two for that price! :money:

    The most you will be paying across the range with a voucher is £1! That will be for the reduced suncream that is now £6. Everything else will be free!! :T

    Just remember to pick up two!

    Also...Whilst there I noticed the following now reduced to half price:

    Sarah Jessica Parker Covert (Green bottle) Reduced from £23.00 to £11.50
    Calvin Klein Euphoria Eau de Parfum 100ml Reduced from £59.00 to £30.00
    Valentino Rock N Rose Was £40.00 now £20.00
    Also...Gucci Rush...J'Adore & some other Dior ones,Kylie Minogue,Stella.

    I can't remember them all but there were a good few and the helpful SA said there were more going into the sale on Sat! So it might be worth holding out until then.

    Yay! I love it when this happens...I'm just hoping it goes as cheap as it did last year!!:eek:

    Please let these be on offer in my store when I go on friday, I want to go tomorrow before work but promised to meet a friend, I could get up extra early I suppose :rotfl:

    Fed up with my local boots the staff in there are so unfriendly and sourface, there is only a couple of nice staff, and they are the weekend staff. I feel really uncomfortable shopping there so am going to avoid going there for a while and go to a different boots when my oh can take me.

    Went today and tried to use the michium vouchers, they wouldn't let me as they was on offer, fair enough, i said i would ring head office to check, then the supervior asked for my details so she could ring them instead, there was no way i was giving my details after last time. Then they didn't have the expert gel in they have stopped doing it in that store. When i tried to use the sun voucher the girl dissappared with it for ages she came back and said sorry but she had been told that if any one came in and tried to use the sun voucher then they had to get team leader so then had to wait for team leader, i left it in the end. I don't get why they need it checked when it was a boots/sun promotion. I think they don't like me in this store. Also wouldn't let me use the 200 points and the 5.00 voucher.

    My oh my, you seem to get constant issues in your local! I'd be inclined to call CS and ask to speak to a Team Leader asking if the could kindly speak to the Store Manager and get them to pass on to all SA's the voucher policies(or there is actually a voucher department)etc. I'd tell them how this is making you feel and that it is making you consider no longer shopping at boots due to the constant hassles you face. I'd also say that it is not just the lack of training and communication regarding the vouchers, but also the attitude of the SA's which is really making it difficult for you.

    Hello all! I've been around this site for a while but never really ventured into the Boots thread - had a quick look last night - motivated by someone on DFW who had made her mum a lovel Cristmas hamper with Boots stuff! Full of excitement and a couple of N7 vouchers and a skin care voucher in hand i went to my local boots - £92 later I ended up with £270 worth or stuff and another 5 N7 vouchers and 6 skincare vouchers - and almost all my Christmas shopping done!!!

    Many of the fragrances were half price or less- eg J'adore 100mls - was £54 now £24!

    Didn't even use magazine points or extra points vouchers i've since seen on here!

    Luckily I know many of the staff as my daughter worked there last Christmas so they were very patient with me and let me pay seperately for everything so I could get vouchers!!!

    Very productive trip!

    But I still have 11 vouchers! so may have to go again!

    Hi peeps am reading backwards again so sorry if it has been mentioned but could someone pretty please (broclo or pash or hotpot or palice or Mrs T, or Mrs BTVB or MRs BB you get the idea!!!) post 2 seperate lists of what their favourite things are to buy with the 2 tillspits. Was in boots ages today got a fab shop which I will post later, but did not want to rush into buying things willy nilly so saved my ts.

    I trust all your judgements on here and would like some plain and simple pointers in the right direction, I know im a pain but I do love you guys, and all the work you put in. Maybe one day I might become a worthy bootser and remember everytghing like broclo. Maybe not! forgot where id put my glasses today spent ages looking for them, and where were they .................thats right on my B****Y head.

    Maybe this could be the new challenge... oh yeah and those of you who are super clever might even show some pics of what you suggest. Im still pretty new to this so I am spending half my time looking for products and I dont have a clue what some of them look like tyia you lovely lot x

    Have been reading a lot of problems using the 250 points voucher from the N7 GWP. Has anyone managed to use it without beeping??

    I have only tried with reduced stuff, but when it doesn't got through I get the dreaded "it says here it cannot be used with any other offer or discount". But we all know Boots tills are not that clever :rolleyes:, so my guess is the tills have not been programmed for this yet. And if I tried with a full price item, using the pinky (£5 off), the SA could still argue, I can not use it because I am already using a coupon.

    Is this a case of the tills not being programme yet (like with the model.me H&B 250 points coupon that did not go through in the begining when we were trying to use it with the acm voucher)? Or are the till that smart??

    I tried to use it with a nail varnish and pinky yesterday... but used time delay also...
    TD 200 pts worked and No7 wasnt so I just said oh its odd that one works and not the other and SA put pts on manually for me which was cool:p

    I fell foul of the No7 going half price without knowing. I tried to get a GWP buying a £12 and and £9 item but they went through half price and the spend wasn't enough...........now I know they are half price and BOGOF I will go back tomorrow.

    Did have a good rest of shop though:

    2 x TS long hair serum
    1 x TD facial wipes
    2 x JK Nail files

    Total cost £4.01 and 712 points back...........Yay.......... and another pinkie and facial skincare till spit!

    SA did look a bit confused at the total but there was a huge queue behind me and didn't say anything. Will be back tomorrow to do exactly the same but will get the No7 GWP.
  • Hi all,

    hmm, I've got a prescription to get tomorrow. Which pharmacy should I go to??:rolleyes:

    Has anyone tried any sanctuary stuff with the skincare voucher other than the face masks? I want to try the face sponge
    prod_thum.jpg px_trans.gifThe Sanctuary Facial Sponge
    £4.00

    or the face cloth,
    prod_thum.jpg px_trans.gifThe Sanctuary Soft Facial Flannel
    £3.00
    they should each be free with a tillspit but I'm not quite brave enough to try! Although, thinking logically, if they aren't facial skincare then what are they??!:confused:
