blimey, ive just been scanning through some of these posts:rotfl:
totally confuses me:o what does everything mean?
like bluey and pinky and all the abrieviations:D

so who can help me then?
i have a £10 boots voucher from pigsback
what is the best i can get for my money from boots this week?

when you say about machine? do you mean a machine you can put your card in? my little boots dosnt have one is it worth travelling to one that has one?

thankyou:T

Best to have a look at page 1 of this thread first as it explains current offers, glitches and abbreviations.

Boots are not giving out pinkies now, only blueys.

Yes, you put your advantage card into the ACM machine and it spits out extra points offers etc but it seems to be random as to what offers you will get, we don't all seem to get the same. In my opinion, it may not be worth the cost of you travelling/parking just to get a few more points but others may think differently. HTH

what is the best value for money way of getting the mens gwp? i only have a pinky x

It depends on what you mean by "value" -- if it's getting items you really want, or if value is the cheapest way to get a gwp. I think the cheapest way is to get four of the no7 lip protector things (or glossy locks if you can find any). They are 5.75 and bogof. So the till sees it as over 20 spent when you scan them all, but then half comes off and it's 11.50. then you use the pinky, and it's 5.75. (fyi, my store and apparently others do not have signs saying the suncare is bogof, but it definitely is). I really like both the lip protector and glossy locks and have gotten plenty for myself and to slip in with gifts, lol. And you can get the men's gwp with women's items if you like.

Otherwise, as someone said, getting three men's products on 342 is a great option. Only I thought someone said yesterday 342 was no longer working on men's items? You might want to look into that, as if it's not on sale the men's products will cost more than you thought.

Edit: Oops, I forgot that the tan maintainer is the cheapest deal (as others have mentioned). It's 10 quid and bogof, so you'd pay only 5 quid after a pinky. I always forget this as it's something I'd never use, and I like the lip protectors as you get several and can slip them in with other gift bags of no7 items. So that's what I always think of, lol.

Morning ladies. I have to confess to being months behind with my bootsing. Its been a very long time since I had a nosey on this thread.

I was just wondering if anyone had tried the no7 6 for 1. This was around in january when normal no7 stuff was on 3 for 2 and suncare was on bogof.

This time only washing and bathing is on 3for2- is that right?

not sure 20.00 worth of bogof suncare will qualify for GWP anymore. They have fixed the glitch on dotcom. Do they usually fix glitches instores and on dotcom at the same time or does it take longer to fix the instore glitch?

...doesn't work with 3 4 2 on bathing products either - on dotcom

Trying hard to remember what the trick was last time.
If it was going to work I would have thought I needed to buy

2x bathing plus 4 suncare.

Will try find old thread.

hi foxy-lady:) I remember doing 3 4 1 (2 xsun 1x cosmetics) and 6 4 1 (6 sun products) Those were the days eh?:D

someone said it wouldn't work this time because the whole range is not on 3 4 2
