    Is there some sort of Massive Error By Boots, that will let you deduct both the pinkie AND the t/s split if you buy an r & m mirror?
    And does it only work with the mirror?
    snipped
    Yes, so long as the mirror is not the cheapest item on the 342 gifts. It also works on the RM Kabuki Brush £8 (so cute) and the red eye case £15
    Why couldn't we get another blooming mirror, a £5 gift set, and a £5 box of chocolates and use the 3 for 2, and the Pinkie Thingy and the t/s? It didn't like this, so we abandoned that idea smartish, and ran away. Well, walked as fast as we could.
    I don't know why it wouldn't work at Westfield, all I can think of is that as the store is new their systems might have been programmed correctly :confused: .
    It definitely works in London Brent Cross SS tills.
    I did RM mirror £6, Gift £5, Gift £7 last week. £3 to pay :j
    At what point did the till get stroppy? I know people have their own fave ways of scanning vouchers, but this worked very well this morning.
    Scan No. 7 superslim anti cellulite £5.25 X2
    Scan No. 7 nail buffer compact (free on No.7 342)
    Scan pinkie, till says "1 item free" says "place item in bagging area" press the on-screen 'skip bagging' button
    Scan ts, till says "1 item free" says "place item in bagging area" press the on-screen 'skip bagging' button
    Press on screen 'finish and pay' £0.50 to pay :j
    If you have any other coupons ie points or manufacturers coupons, press the 'finish and pay' then the on screen vouchers button, scan coupon. 'finish and pay' post coupons in the little slot.
    Sorry for long post, hth

    Self Serve tills, where you scan the items yourself. Mostly in the bigger stores. There is a list of stores with them currently being updated, will prob be posted here soon. hth

    A Pinkie is a voucher you get when you spend £5 or more. It is £5 off No.7 or Ruby and Millie. It is pink....... unless you go to the SS tills (or modern manned tills) when it comes out of the till automatically and looks like a receipt, It has the same offer on it.

    Saw some King Of Shaves items on CLEARANCE at between £1.00 and £1.50, also on 3 4 2. Print out the voucher on Page 1 for £1 off, use this to get super bargains. Item 1: £1. Item 2: £1. Item 3: £1 (free cos 3 4 2). Total: £2. Use £1 voucher, so total is £1.

    Is the KOS voucher NSS?
  • thanks to stmidwife the tillspits arrived today. many thanks


    where do the vouchers for the free hydro razor come from?


  • btw does the Harlequin have SS tills?

    Hiya, harlequin doesn't have SS tills but I tend to find the staff on the tills downstairs (near the escalator) are pretty good bunch when it comes to vouchers/combos.

    Few recent shops

    Shop 1

    2 x RM travel cases @ £25 each
    1 x Sanctuary spa gift (gold make up bag filled with bits) £25

    Total to pay: £50
    Points received: 1750* :D (200 normal + 200 double + 350 mailing + 1000 offer)

    *more points than what I would have got online - if others have similar vouchers might be worth trying instore rather than online?

    Using:
    double points mailing voucher
    350pts WYS £40 mailing voucher

    Tried the £5off RM TS but didn't work! (o well never mind eh?)

    Shop 2

    Oral B 8500 toothbrush £34.99 (was £69.99)
    + other bits

    Total for toothbrush = £19.99 (+ over 1500 points too)

    Used:
    1500pts WYB any oral B t/brush PC voucher
    £5 off elec TS
    £5 off elec voucher
    £5 off elec mailing

    Watford or Harrow

    Anyone know if either have any good no7 clearance bits left? (got a pinkie and 3 TS to use :D)

    SS TILLS LIST

    I offered to do a list from scratch of Self Serve tills as I knew that the small one started before was infact a direct rip off(can see it a mile off) of sandhabibi's list on the 'paid to shop' website. I did not think that copying and pasting her list she had taken time to compile was fair really, unless of course someone asked her first.

    I also offered because if I was to compile from the threads whilst doing my sons feed it meant that there were not thirty SS till updates on the thread, therefore making it harder for those trying to catch up on the thread.

    Also I thought that by having one single post, which could be updated as new ones appeared, meant that crazyposhgal could possibly do a single link to a single post on the first post of hers if she wanted to, meaning that everyone could find the list easily, not an older one etc
