Thankyou, to who told us about the free Elizabeth Arden coupon in Prima, got it today and it's beautiful.
I got some Benefit Erase Paste today with my points, just had enough to cover it.
Also used a pinkie and got a no. 7 eyeshadow.
thanks for all the tips.

you're welcome:) glad you got the pallette hun. I stood for 1/2 hour in the kensington store waiting for the EA lady to reappear (she dashed off somewhere ) and gave up in the end:( will try my local store tomorrow. I hope they have some left.

Not a good bootsing day for me. After waiting around for so long for the EA lady. I had no time to go to oxford street (was my plan:rolleyes: ) and get some of the gift sets (not managed to get any yet) with tillspits and pinkies. Not brave enough to try this on normal tills:o

forgot to say, the small store on high st kensington has the new boots mag:)the larger store still has the old one

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

I didn't mean to offend anyone by copying an old list.
I had contributed to it myself before when it was doing the rounds and all I had done was added in ones people had mentioned (which is why I put their IDs next to them too). I only did it as someone had asked if there was a list of Boots with SS Tills (self service tills) so thought I would try to help out. I didn't know the original list came from another forum either. I hope some people have found it useful though. Broclo, do you know how to add it to the top of the forum so it can be updated by anyone from there?
Sorry guys!

Hi what the best deal to get the half price FCUK half price set. I believe it is 3 for 2 with toiletries. Would this work say FCUK £7 (half price) then 2 mens no. 7, to get it for around £3.50 with ts and pinky, half price voucher??

sorry to be a pain but what is an ss split?

Can just confirm that the aerobronze from st tropez (in the half price gift sets a few weeks back) is amazing. no streaks, colour in 3 hours, well worth it!!

Thankyou to everyone who found these glitches I have had an amazing shop today
I think thats all of them anyway total came down to 38. odd so I thought oh I wont get my points. I was wrong, when I got home and checked my receipt it says overall saving 66.00 and earned 3000 odd points I cant beleive it,

You lucky thing! I wonder if that means that I would have got the bonus points yesterday without having to c*ck-up my shopping by adding the thing that I wanted to buy with points later. The assistant just said "You've spent £40 -if you spend another ten you'll get 1000 bonus points" Oh well, I guess I'll never know....

While we're on the subject of SS tills I can confirm that there's no SS tills to be seen in Newcastle upon Tyne, but Metrocentre in Gateshead has them.

It is a receipt- style voucher for £5 off No.7 /Ruby Millie, issued automatically by the self serve tills or more modern tills when you spend £5 or more. It is the same as the paper pinkie voucher. hth

S&G Pay by points save 1/3rd offer

I managed to take a photo of the S&G stand that has the pay by points offer on. I know op have had trouble finding this offer, so maybe seeing the display will help (Especially the SA's that doubt that this offer even exists )

It's not a brilliant photo, took it on my moby and held up the queue much to the annoyance of everyone else. :cool: Also bought a gaggle of S&G, it seemed a shame to waste such a good offer. :rolleyes: Will post details later.

Edit....Poo.. forgot to ask when it finishes

I hope you manage to spend your pinkies!

Sadly, no....and now I've got another one. I went into my very small local Boots today because they're a law unto themselves when it comes to Clearance...often quite astoundingly good buys. I found three 30 tablet packs of their own brand one-a-day St Johns Wort reduced to £2.50 per pack (normally £14.99, if I recall correctly) but also on 3-4-2. So as it's a product I do use, plus I knew I would use it before the "short" code expired in April, I was pleased with my bargain. It's genuine money-saving if it's a product that you would have bought at full price after all.

I also got a sample pack of effervescent vitamins (one free with every transaction purchase of any herbal or vitamin product) plus four bottles of water at 15p each. How on earth can water go out of code?????? Anyway, £5.60 the lot, normal price £45-ish, got a pinkie back too.

Clearance is great, when it's stuff you really want.

My nieces are visiting tomorrow though. Will give them a couple of pinkies each. Got to keep your babysitters sweet after all. Oh, btw, got the new Boots mag today. Very unpromising batch of coupons.
