  • I'm off to Speke today. Am looking to use up 2 facial skincare vouchers, 1 white and 1 pink NO7. Have got my list of almost free things to look for out for and will also be looking out for some perfume for DD1 for Christmas and any toys for my neice. Will report back later...

    Swansea Fforestfach Boots last night:
    - very few reduced ladies' perfumes

    - better for men(eg YSL for DH £7.99, Givenchy £5.50)

    - S&G shoppers 67P (when everywhere else was free they were £2.50 here!)

    Sadly, no other S&G bargains, no reduced toilet bags etc etc
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    so some perfumes in most stores check sel, and clearance which has ususally been near front of the store.hardly any toys in any of the stores, no time delay as i have loads of vouchers but finding it hard to use them.(will try a local small store 1st thing).
    Still would like a skip hop bag if any1 sees one please get 1 & pm me.
    still looking for a maclaren or quinny zapp please let me know if any1 sees any in a north east store.
    I'm also in need of a bouncing chair.

    Was there yesterday. Not a great selection left in the perfume section. Did manage to pick up a bargain though. A Chico Polly highchair that was reduced from £110 to £20 cos it had no tray. Came home and ordered a tray from Chicco CS... well pleased! Few sale items left in the baby section.

    BTW....there was plenty of TD wipes, toner and exfoliator! No TS serum, but hopefully they have restocked since then!

    Also quite a bit of Sanctuary stuff on the reduced section, which is at the back near the photo counter. There was also socks reduced to 31p and theres a 100pt voucher in the ACM :D

    This is only worth taking up if the three items you want are over £10.

    Example of items under £10:

    Start with 1 pinky and do three transactions:

    4 x mitchum
    1 x no7 gloves
    -pinky
    £60p plus vchr(sk finished)

    repeat two more times

    =3 sets gloves, 12 mitchum and 1 more voucher for spend of £1.80

    Or go for 3 for 2 offer:

    3 x no7 gloves
    -pinky
    £5.00 plus vchr

    =3 sets gloves and 1 more voucher for spend of £5.00

    Example of items over £10:

    Again starting with 1 pinky...

    1 x Foundation £10.50
    -pinky
    £5.50 plus vchr

    repeat two more times

    = 3 x foundation and 1 more voucher for £16.50

    Or go for 3 for 2 offer:

    3 x Foundation (£10.50) £21.00
    -pinky
    £16.00

    = 3 x foundation and 1 more voucher for £16.00

    So think it is safe to say, unless items are over £10 each split your shops and ignore 3 for 2


    I certainly don't disagree with your maths, Doc Broc, but would add the reminder that not all stores are still issuing pinkies - they are now subject to availability:eek: :eek:

    I was in Oxford City Centre last night and the Pharmacy Counter had run out, so had the No7 lady and I finally got my voucher :D after joining a massive queue at the main desk and asking!! It was meant to be though, as by the time I walked out of the store, and past the R&M counter for the umpteenth time, they had FINALLY restocked the cream colour make up purses, and I got the 2 I had been coveting for daughters' Christmas hampers (actually that's a very posh description for a gift bag full of Boots stuff :rotfl: )

    Morning all.
    I've been sharing with you how my addiction is taking hold :rolleyes: Well, I think it's gone to a deeper level!

    We were thinking of taking a last minute break away for OH's birthday - somewhere nice and hot for a week. :cool: I'd been looking at dates at the end of next week and then thought why not go earlier (and get out of this ****ing rain!) But then I started thinking about the No7 342 and got really concerned that I'd not be here for the dates when both the pinkies and offer are on together. :o

    This has developed into a serious addiction :eek:
    What have you all done to me :rotfl:

    Pants... thought it was very few stores that had run out, you'd think they would atleast recycle the one you redeem eh!:rolleyes:

    If anyone is out hunting for perfume today near Southampton. Call in at the Swan Centre Eastleigh, I was there yesterday I bought a few good bargains but it wasn't until I got home when I checked my receipts and discovered that the HUgo Boss aftershave 50ml also gave me 500 points on my boots card :j The bottle cost me £8 but only paid 3 squid . So look out for Hugo boss it has to be 50ml also Gucci give 500 points on a 50ml bottle but haven't seen any. They had lots of the Hugo Boss there.

    Warning if doing the TD 200 points there in Eastleigh don't go on the pharmacy counter cos a dragon lives there lol
