Here here, if they don't like people using the voucher then they shouldn't have started the promotion!
i am sure we all spend enough in there normally to warant a few free gifts!

What did I say that Boots have done this to themselves and it was not well thought out and they should have put a min spend limit on it say of £5.50. I don't have a problem with people getting enough for free themselves and friends and family to last a while.

I have enough to last me 6-12 months. But I buy from boots when there is a very good deal. And I use the TD delay range when I can as it is so nice. And they have me using there No7 makeup as it is nice. So they have me as a customer.

But they don't make a lot out of me due to the fact of the AD card points they give out and I only ever buy reduced or bogof's when I know it works out cheaper then else where.

But don't see the point in taking more than a person can use themselves or give away to friends/family or even charity. As that is just greed. Well it is to me. And that is the way I was brought up.

I hope you all enjoy your freebies.

Just been to local store and printed off vouchers from machine. printed 2 for shampoo/conditioner 50 points each (BOGOF deal £1.29) and one for karvol capsules 100 points - kids full of cold !!!!!

Any way could not find karvol capsules, none in stock.

In error, gave SA all coupons they all when through, so got one coupon on each bottle of shampoo and a 100 point for karvol capsules - not brought.

Result 213 points on a £2.28 transaction

Plus got a free TD wipes and a aromotherapy body lotion.

Then brought £13.50 nappies with points.....one happy mummy.............

has anyone tried to use the coupons from the anti-stress booklets for items other than those for which they are indended to be used? If so, what can you get with them?
Thanks

In Chelmsford today they were having a promotion where if you had a makeover they gave you a goodie bag. I posted it on the local moneysaving bit, should have put it on here probably.I went to the Max factor stand and got a watch and evening bag set- sadly can't seem to get the watch working but never mind( will take back and swap for the one with brushes)... the benefit one looked good but it was too late- even I wouldn't get two makeovers in one day to get two bags. It wasn't at all busy, so maybe I should have!
Anyway, look out for this at your stores- its well worth doing.

Its been years since I did business studies GCSE and A Level. But I am sure that it was called price flexing in the book called supermarket wars I read recently.

But hey what do I know.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But if the same fair price is charged to all low or high income areas. That is better for all.

But as I said I believe that Asda nor Morrisons do this. And they still keep low prices and make a profit.

I did Economics & Business A level last year and it was called price elasticity. Doesnt matter what you called it really Ones I remember are price elasticity of demand and income elasticity of demand. I think! x
