Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 33 - Post your finds here

mrs_T

Twice in the last week I have bought mitchums and used both 50% off coupons and £1 off coupons on the same item, today buying mitchums at £1.65 and getting £2.50 off my total shop for each. From what I've read are a lot of you are only using the 50% off coupons?

If anyone has trouble with the TS glitch, please PM me as I'm happy to point you in the right direction.

I know Broclo does lots of hard work on the glitches for us all but I often feel bad that she gets loads of PMs to answer so maybe I can lighten the load a bit (who knows when there will next be a glitch I actually understand lol!)

It took me a while to get it but there is a lot of examples here so just read and reread until I got it rather than ask the same thing again. Very kind offer of you.

Then we usually go and have a coffee somewhere, pop back in about 1/2 hour later and hey presto ..... lunchtime cover/shift change has come on and you've got a different SA :rotfl: !

That is a good point, and brings up something I meant to ask about. When do shifts change at Boots? Like if the daytime SAs have seen you in there waaaay too often, when do they go home and different staff come on duty? If a store were open 9 in the morning until 8 at night, for instance? And what about stores with shorter hours -- if it's 9 until 6, would the same staff work all day? I do know that different staff seems to be on at weekends, so if you feel you're getting too known, you can wait until the weekend, lol.

I only used the one in my shop today but that's because I didn't realise they both worked! Thanks mrs T.

Hi Thrifty Ruby,
What was the problem with the black mascara? Was it scanning at full price or was the voucher beeping? Hoping to try this tomorrow and don't want any beeps :eek:

Hi Tiara,

It kept on bleeping but the SA was a real :A & agreed that it should go through so she put it through as £0.00 so the voucher would work! The Blk/Bwn went through no problem.
I hope this helps

I'm a newbie to this board so please be kind to me !LOL

I'm after some No7 Time resisting Day and Night Eye Care (a gel & cream pump duo) that I did a trial on recently -but have just seen that it costs £17.75 !!

Does anyone know how to get it any cheaper??

any help will be much ppreciated by my baggy eyes!!!

assuming you have a £5 off No7 voucher, (If not i would be happy to send you one)
you could get
No 7 Time resisting Day and Night Eye Care
2x Mitchum deodorants
1x Trevor Sorbie Long hair serum
1x Trevor Sorbie any product

Your total to pay would be £13.06 so, not as much as the actual product that you originally wanted plus you get another 4 product as well and another 2 till splits...

Or If you have the £5 No7 voucher, you could purchase that product alone and save £5.

sec79

Are you still supposed to get the £5 till spit and £5 off number 7, if the actual value of your items is over £5, but once you use vouchers then it costs you less than this.

So if you buy 3 mitchums which cost £1.78 each, and use 50% off vouchers, do you still get a till spit and £5 off no7 voucher? Or you you only get the till spit and voucher if your spend is £5 or over after all deductions? Thanks

Thanks Thrifty Ruby.
V strange that the black beeped but the brown one went through no probs
Has everyone found that the black one beeps but the brown one doesn't? I've got no chance of getting the till over ridden, so not sure if I should try the black one (which is my preference) or play it safe and go for the brown!

Freecyclebilly - thank you hunni I had a really good shop today, and OH popped in while I was completing my shops with my lovely No7 SA - she got him talking and even told him he should be proud of how much money I save!!! So he's been ever so pleasant since

Please note: I did NOT say use them yourself to do the deal again (if you've done it once, be grateful - that's more than a lot of us get a chance to do!), just leave them somewhere in Boots so there is the chance that they will help keep the deal going. If Boots' staff want to put them back on the TS shelf, that's up to them. There're some great deals on at the mo' for anyone with access to a half decent Boots, no need for abuse - I'm salivating.... I WILL get a No7 gwp.....somehow.... somewhere...... :xmassign:

Now loverlee, if only you could explain that to the bootsers in my local who keep raiding the shop of anything TD and JK!! :rotfl:
