I'm going to Staines tomorrow, I could get one and send it to you, I wouldn't think it would cost that much to send, it's not very heavy x

Thats so kind of you! I'm planning a trip to Boots after work tomorrow so I'll have a quick look in there first! If they're not reduced in there then I'll PM you if that's okay? Obviously if I miss out then it's my own fault!

what's a 92 and a 93???? oh and the 1/3 off?? TIA XX

The "92" and the "93" are vouchers from the Parenting Club which both give you Half Price on Baby Expert products, they look almost identical apart from a slightly different picture and the fact that one barcode ends in 92 and the other ends in 93. And they can be used together, when the 2 for £3 on Baby Expert offer is on this can result in getting the items for free or getting money off the rest of your shopping depending on what you buy.

The 1/3 off voucher is also from the Parenting Club but I believe this only came out after the last time this glitch was on, and so I don't think anybody has worked out how much this would take off or whether they can even be combined yet.

I have a 92, a 93, AND a 1/3 off voucher... Where's Broclo's super duper maths brain when you need her :rotfl:

Not sure I'd dare use all 3!

Here's the post that explained the original glitch http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=12275169&postcount=1472

I think if you bought 2 x £1.99 items and used 3 vouchers, it'd work like this:-

£1.99 x 2 = £3.98
- 1/2 price x 4 = - £3.96 (2 vouchers x 2 items)
- 1/3 of each item = - £1.32
- 2 for £3 = - £0.98

Total is £3.98 - £6.26 ? meaning £2.28 off your shopping for each 2 items you bought - ooooh, too risky imo!

Mrs Bluebear Thank You for the vouchers!:A

Just a quick one whilst I'm here - I haven't been reading for 2 days and it's amazing what I've got done around the house :eek:

Anyway, today I went into Boots and noticed Baby Expert is 2 for £3 - does this mean previous glitch will work again? Sorry if this has already been discussed!!!

Also LOL, yesterday I went into my local at end of day after not having been in for about five days. Security Guard virtually ran up to DS arms outstretched to greet him!!!!!

Does baby expert count towards Boots own brand baby products?
I have a voucher for half price Boots own brand baby products PC, so, if i buy 3 products, for say £2 each
then hand over the half price Boots own voucher
What does the till see?
does it let me have all of it for half price or just 1 product?

In Southampton Above Bar i managed to do 2 x 1p TS glitch this afternoon – got the last two serums; but there are a few tubs of conditioner yet. Also got the bronze RM bag and some Sanctuary wipes. Bought this and a 1.25 acetone free polish (had my acrylics put back on this afternoon). Anyways till came to £1.26 – SA went “hmmmm that can’t be right and made me take everything out my shopping bag and checked it all” Then when the till printed me a spit she screwed it up and slung it. Gah.

<snipped>

OMG, I can't believe she did that :eek: I'd have been raging and demanded she give it to me...... it was yours after all, the till had 'said' you can have it so how dare she do that? Ooooooh, that's made me SO cross for you.

You should call CS about that, I think it's disgusting.

Well after my experience today I thought that I would go to my local to cheer myself up....well what a mistake...

Went in fine found some gorge gold sanctuary bags reduced to half price remembered that sanctuary was on 3 for 2 so went to SA to get them checked they weren't on offer for 3 4 2 as just a store reduction

Anyways went to put them back and went and got my shopping, got some mitchums and 2 x TS glitch. Went to till and SA queried mitchum vouchers , anyways she tried them ( didn't scan but input manually) and put them through.... anyway i am having a conversation with the SA and she say to me not to go to any 'Team Leaders'..one of the team leaders had approached her when I went and put the sanctuary bags back to say if any vouchers don't work then I should be refused !! I felt like an absoloute criminal..

I have queried the Model me with her ( team leader) the other day but was very nice and polite when I was refused ...It made me feel really bad I only ever go for what the till lets me have and don't push my luck , never argue and am always chatty and polite.

So bad day for me today..at least tomorrow is another day...hopefully going in search of the R & M stuff that welshmule found;)

This is the way it worked last time:- One PC half price voucher will take half the original price off all expert items in your basket in one transaction (doesn't work on the wipes, IIR) Also, there are two PC vouchers - one barcode ends 92, one ends 93 - these can be used together, sa willing, but can take money off the rest of your shop so should be disguised with other shopping and should not be abused - ie, by buying 20 items and ending up with a refund, as this will expose the glitch and result in Boots rectifying it and spoiling it for others!

Hopefully someone can find the table of prices from last time to save having to work it all out again!

Thank you

I only have one, the one ending with 93. Will definitely be giving this one a go next week
