    But... to confuse the issue :j

    In Cheltenham Gallagher Retail, there were/are pink (not the Christmas spend £15 get one free red ones) which are similar. They contain 7 items - lipstick, nail polish, mascara, similar skincare bits. However - I did get the opportunity to check one bag which contained a voucher and it expired in Feb 2005. So make sure the price is very cheap on this bag (ours were down to £5, I tried it with the No7 voucher, which didn't work, so I decided not to take it at that price) because the products vary between 12 and 24months useby symbols and that's assuming no-one has twisted a lid anywhere at any time to see what the product is like. In actual terms you might just be buying the makeup and not sure if the skincare is okay to use.

    End of public safety announcement :o


    But if it is the one from before christmas they where all sealed up as they had a tag on them. So need to check that the tag is in still in place so that the bag can't be open.

    That is why now I take the box from the back/middle of the shelf when it comes to skin care and cosmetics because you never knew who has opened them up and stuck a finger in them and then get stuffed back on the shelf. I believe that all skin care prodcuts and makeup should have a proper seal on them.

    I noticed on the evian wipes they had what they call a purity seal on them.

    I have found that even some toothpastes have an foil seal on the end.

    just to let everyone know:

    i rang the customer care line today and as from thursday next week there will be signs in store saying 'one per customer' and the staff wont let you ahve more than one item of td or dr at once.

    until then it will be perfectly fine to get "two or three" items at a time.

    hmm this is going to be interesting, wonder if they will have the sense to put other terms on the signage they are suggesting.
    The questions that arise are one per customer...........EVER/per day/per week?
    In theory if they just put 1 per customer you can leave the store then enter again?
    also i wonder if it will be signage relating to TD or DR or both?

    Does not surprise me with the way some people have been taking the pee.

    If people had been discreet and not cleared the shelves and put a zillion transactions through at one time then Boots would not be taking this stand.

    So again it is the few that has ruined it for the many by being selfish.

    I assume it is one per customer using a voucher to get a free or very cheap as TD is on 3-4-2 and DR is bogof.
