Just about to go to the Xmas event in my local store.

Want to get the electric toothbrush for £44.99 and will make it up to £50 for the extra 1,000 points. Managed to find recent mailing that had:

£5.00 off when you spend £30 or more on electrical products - toothbrushes included
Double points coupon
150 points when you spend £20 or more in a single transaction
ACM voucher (printed today) for 250 extra points when you spend £30 or more.

Yes you will need to account for the other £5 pounds to qualify for the points or the till will say threshold not met! And all ur vouchers will work no probs!

Thanks very much for telling me all my vouchers would work. Just got back from the xmas event - it was very quiet hardly a sole in the shop. Spent £52.88 and got £18.16 back in points. Been given another bluey, and a till spit for an additional 500 points if I go and spend another £50 at their next night. I am well chuffed:j .

Lots of botanics facial £1.95 sets in Sutton, Surrey store.

Evening all,

Went to my first event today - feel quite embarrassed at my measly points in comparison to some (almost all) your brilliant shops.

Spent £57 and got 1150 points plus normal 190 -ish ( think i should have got more as according to brainy ds 4 x 57=200+ points) any reasons why less were given?

no 7 eyeshimmer 12.00
no 7 xmas eyeliner 8.50
gwp
342 xmas gifts £8 each
342 xmas gifts £6 each
£5 topup
£2 bubble bath

only used the mag xmas makeup voucher (didn't have anything else!) any ideas

Plenty of the old Soap & Glory GWPs priced at £5 in the main Kingston Upon Thames store today. Got 3 for 2 and the free gift bag. Unfortunately I dropped my shopping bag getting into the car and bashed all three boxes - grrrr!! Oh well, meant I just had to open one up for myself! I've got really confused about the razor glitch, could someone give me the idiot's guide please as my OH is always asking me to look out for a razor glitch for him! TIA

snipped a bit. Hiya, I think your normal points might be lower because of the mag voucher. I think after using it you only get the 150 points and not the usual 48 points you would get too. Does that work out right? Maybe I'm talking rubbish!! My normal points were lower than I thought tonight to but I used the same voucher and a couple of other extra point ones. HTH

Hi Xmastree,

Where in the Kingston Upon Thames store are the S&G sets please, been to 4 shops today looking for them and haven't found one. Not working tomorrow, so could pop into Kingston to get them. Can you also confirm the contents.

Many thanks

The travel size Johnson's Top to Toe wash (teeny bottle, you should find them with the travel minis) is scanning at 1p. SEL may say 1p or 99p but going through the tills at 1p, if you can find any left.

Found some of these in my local Boots and they were showing 99p each on the shelf. I took one to the till and the SA told me no price coming up, told her a friend had bought on clearance at another branch for 1p each. She checked with her supervisor who said I could have that one but they weren't supposed to be sold as they were samples-pushed my luck and asked for more and ended up with 5, supervisor told assistant not to put it through the till and gave me them for free! Went into Tesco after and they were selling for around £1.10 each!!!!

None of the S & G GWP left - was told they can't sell once offer ended???? Managed to pick up some Boots Gorgeous Feet Overnight Moisturiser and socks for £1.49, was showing much more on original shelf ticket. Also got the Gorgeous Feet minis for 37p each instead of £1.99 and £2.25 approx.

Forget also bought a Oral B Advance Power 900 electric toothbrush for £8.64 - think it's because they aren't doing them anymore!!!

They're on a stand just inside the entrance, opposite the meal deal stuff (not the entrance that leads into the square with M&S, BHS etc). The SEL says £5 and there's a sign saying S&G is on 3 for 2 and you get the free gift bag, unless it's a Xmas gift set marked with a green sticker. Hope there are some left for you tomorrow...good luck!
