Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 42 - Post your finds here

Hey RedBalloon :wave: I got two different sets of 100pts on No7 metallic eyeliner too - but one for the SS tills I think

So...Cambridge Retail Park...no mags, no limited edition lip gloss, and half the metallic eyeliners had sold out (or not even been put out). Studied the large cardboard cut outs of Keeley all dolled up in the limited edition stuff and decided that the lip gloss may be a bit too 'peachy pink' for my liking anyway.

Was dribbling over the star highlighter so decided I had better put it in my basket quick Was not impressed with the glitter eyeliners - the testers were very clumpy (maybe the heat from the lighting on the display) Fortunately Mr BTVB had got a mag for me earlier so I could get the 150pts on the highlighter, but no mags in the Retail Park meant if I want to get anything else from the range with the extra points, I couldn't do it tonight.

Was a bit peeved to see that ladies' No7 GWP may include a clear varnish - BORING!!! :rotfl: (That's the trouble with not being able to see which nail varnish you're getting in the GWP)

No sign of the old S&G GWP, and no sign of the new men's GWP.

In the end got 1x star highlighter (£7.00 with till spit and 150pts back) and 1x No7 metallic eyeliner in Green (£2.00 with till spit and 100pts back) Realised as I left the store that the eyeliner went through at £7 original price when the SEL said £6.75...I want my 25p back!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Now, the 17 GWP...made a beeline for it after grabbing the highlighter...there it lay on the shelf, all sparkling and inviting...

And guess what...

I don't like it

Actually I do, but I realised that I've got a Collection 2000 Dazzle Me in that exact same colour, I've got mascaras coming out my ears, and something like 30 odd eyeliners already...so in the interest of moneysaving I left all the GWP there!

So that was my shopping trip for tonight - not my best but at least I have my coveted star highlighter

I still have a pinky left, so planning to do the following tomorrow:
New No7 Xmas eyeliner for £2 (after TS)
Use 250 points from GWP, 100 points from ACM for eyeliner and 150 points from magazine for Xmas make-up.

Great shop!
Do you mean the metallics eyeliner pencil? (£7) is this in the xmas ltd edition 'cos earlier I didn't see it in that section on .com (can't check .com is down) so would the magazine xmas make up 150 points be valid on this? hope so.

You should have but I'm not sure how people will prove they haven't as it's not printed on the receipt Similar thing happened to me earlier btw, but I was still in store so rectified it soon after. Sorry for not being more helpful but maybe you could try CS or store manager?

SA should scan a barcode before giving you new bluey. On receipt it should say "Paper Earn Uk" so if it doesn't have it on receipt I would mention this when next in store. Hopefully SA should then give you one. If it does have this on receipt and SA forgot to give this to you it would be difficult to prove. Hope this helps.

Ps no minimum spend when using bluey.

love to all.

Yes you take all 6 to the till - not sure if you would get away with 3xGWP though. When I done it before I got 6 lipscreens at £5.50 and used a £5 off no 7 voucher so 50p to pay:T

"Never mind 641 what about 6 GWP'S too "

Please tell me you're kidding? Would that really work?
I'm feeling all fluey and gross at the min so waiting til weekend before braving the ss at the traff centre. I have 3 pinkys and 2 ts left so need to get rid obv!
I desperately need the star highlighter, and got my fingers crossed for the s&g gwp cheekiness! Also like the look of the 17gwp, which issue of best is the voucher in?

I am new to the whole Bootsing thing, but really enjoyed spending my ts/pinkies today.

I got:

1) No 7 pressed powder for £1.50 (would have bought it anyway, so boring, but useful)

2) No 7 Sharpener, + 3 toys from xmas 3 for 2 (costin around £6-£7 each) Total paid = around £9

3) No 7 concealer brush + 3 items from S&G 3 for 2 each costing around £5
Total paid = a little over £5

4) No 7 eyeshadow brush + 3 sanctuary bathing items from 3 4 2 each costing around £5
Total paid = a little over £5

SS tills wouldn't let me have the free gift bag that should have come with 3 4 2 for some reason, but hey ho!

Thanks to all for all the great info - Bootsing is a very addictive hobby already!
