    Today I tried to use a pinky to get the old gwp, the cardboard bag with miniatures, and mens washbag with miniatures, they are on sale at my local for £6.50 each but couldnt get either with pinky as they are classed as gift set!

    a quick question. if you use points to pay for something do you still get till spits:confused: ?
    today spent £6 paid in cash and only got skincare one. i queried what you have to do to get no7 one sa didnt know but gave me one anyway:j

    No, you don't get nada when you pay with points.

    Today my SA didn't give me a pink voucher, and I innocently said, "Oh, don't I get a pink voucher?" and she said yes, I forgot, and gave me one. So if you are only getting the skincare voucher, it doesn't hurt to politely ask if you get a pink voucher, too, as they may have forgotten, or they may give you one even if the till didn't prompt it. :)

    Another note, how is everyone liking the Mitchum? I've been using it a week, and I've got a slight rash under my arms and wonder if it's related to mitchum? I haven't tried any other new soap, lotion, etc.

    Had a fab day shopping today - like so many others on here! :j

    Bought:

    TS Long hair serum 1p (after mag voucher)
    TS Shampoo
    2 x Mitchum @ £1.65 (15p each with 1/2 price vouchers)
    Time delay Wipes (free with till spit)

    Paid 31p
    Saved £17.46
    Got 200 points with TD mag voucher
    and got new till spit and £5 No7 Voucher!!!:rotfl:

    Repeated that combo "a few" times!!


    I am struggling to understand how you managed to get this lot for 31p!!
    The TS ........ 1p with voucher
    TD Wipes ........... free with voucher
    2 x Mitchum ........... 31p????

    If the original price is £2.65.... then the voucher takes off 50% 1.32
    then the instore saving takes off 1.00
    So......... £2.65 - £1.32 - £1.00 = 33p each
    2x 33p plus the 1p from the TS Product should be 67p left to pay yeah?????

    I know its only a couple of coppers, but how does this work?

    Any takers ........... Broclo to the rescue.... LOL
    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.

    For some strange reason the 50% off voucher doesn't take 50% off, it takes off £1.50 no matter what the original price of the deodorant!:confused:

    Ignore me, i have got it now........... Duh!!!!

    The 50% voucher takes off £1.50 yeah, so £2.65 - instore £1.00 - voucher £1.50 gives a grand total of 15p to pay............
    Hooray!!!

    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.
