what are pinkies?

Aesop

Pinkies are pink vouchers issued by the staff at the tills or self service tills. It is usually completely random when they are issued, but the current pinkies are £5 off No 7 or Ruby&Millie makeup.

Just had a quick look at my favourites, and some of the sensitive products are back in stock.

Rather more interesting, I noticed that the no7 palm massagers (quick code 10068686) are back on 3-4-1 - doesn't apply to the mirrors or the manicure sets, but may apply to others. I really don't have time to look, but if anyone comes across anything fab and electrical, I'd really appreciate a PM!

(I've already got the mirrors, manicure sets, massagers, trimmers and pedicure sets - all lined up for presents!! Some bought online and some bought with points in store)

small glitch online -

mens no7 free washbag when you spend 15, goes in when you add 3 items at 6.00, then -6.00 as 342 so washbag with 12 pound spend, its a start lol

Well after today’s depressing experience with boots, was going to take a break (probably a long term one) from boots and not reading this board for a few days (as a change), but just want to say a huge thank you to you guys for your support, especially Skibster.


I just realised my obsession with boots has reached an extreme level, well, thanks to my stubbornness to get things work as well . During past couple of months, I just feel missing something if I don’t check this thread every five minutes (hope my boss is not reading this :rolleyes: ) or if I don’t try out every glitch. Was thinking about what you guys would be doing while I was abroad on holiday:eek: … My bf even said “well, boots is enough for you, you don’t even need a boyfriend” :rotfl:

Well, after this “chat” with Skibster, I just realised a good booster is not really the one had most/biggest glitch, but someone knows when to go for it and when to let it go. Guess you true boosters had learned to live with the up and downs with boots and to balance your dignity and getting a bargain.

Learned one lesson if I ever open a business myself :rolleyes: - cherish every loyal customer and not taking them for granted just because they’re loyal. I know we all had our moments when we were trying some glitches – 1p, free, 341… but how many of us have bought things that we never needed, how much £5 we’d spent just to get a voucher which drives us back to spend more, how many of us have loyally gone to boots even though we knew their products are so overpriced. The point for boots is – it’s not easy to get a DEDICATED customer while it’s easy to lose one, guess love and hatred is just one thin line :rotfl:


For what is worth, I’m so happy that boots had brought me so many lovely “friends”:A, this must to be most friendly and supportive board EVER, you guys are always there for each other, giving advice, support, ideas even actual products from boots:D . Remembered last time I couldn’t find even one lisa eldridge palette (you know you are always desperate for something you can’t have), Sonee2405 just selflessly sent me one without even letting me pay for postage! Compared with this, 3 weeks back a lady from Manchester insisted to buy a brand new dress I was selling on gumtree (in Cardiff), saying she loves it and needs to take it on holiday in a week's time, I just posted her immediately before I received any payment or postage but so far I haven’t got a penny or an email from her :eek: . How silly was I! Guess I just got into the habit of trusting people too much!


Ok, sorry for the chat guys, I’ll let you guys get back to the excitement of pinkies. Thansk Ess-six, patwinning and geordie_lass for your kind support! I really appreciate it! Hope everybody’s getting some good deals, but more importantly as Skibster said “slow down when Bootsing becomes upsetting rather than fun”

Very well said Jessie_yi - it's very easy to get into the 'can't see the woods for the trees' trap where Bootsing is concerned and keep buying things because they're a bargain without stopping to ask 'Do I really need this?' - and that's not very money-saving is it - I think I'm heading in that direction myself, so your post has really made me think.

It seems if you buy the EDT it sees the £20 before the half pricedness so you only have to spend £12.49 ...

Liverbird

Just noticed that the small No7 compact mirror is now also £12.49 online.
