    megasaver - Don't know how much the Night Cream is (did you say £10 in your original post?) but I'm sure you could find something to take the transaction with the Day Cream over the £10. :)

    Will be using the Firming Day Moisturiser later for the first time - if it hasn't restricted the supply of blood to my brain, I shall post back later! :D

    Dave

    EDIT - Did think last night that if you were to print out the AC voucher for, I think, 50 points when you spend over £7.50, and the SA/till allows you to use it combined with the TD voucher...

    You could get a Firming Day Moisturiser, cost £10.50. Deduct a £5 TD voucher and get 50 points back plus a £5 No 7 voucher. Ie effectively the product costs you nothing (as long as you'll use the No 7 voucher of course). :)

    Thanks for the reply Dave!
    I think all this Boots stuff has already restricted blood supply to the brain - I am in awe of people like you that really know how to use your points, vouchers and the ac machine. I am a newbie in this respect :D

    Can I ask a couple of really silly boots things generally as I am now so confused:

    The other day I topped up my mobile with £10 and got a NO7 £5 voucher, but then I did give the cashier £10 in cash

    If a product is worth £10 and you give a voucher for £5 (yellow leaflet) and you give the cashier £5 pounds in cash are you still entitled to a NO7 £5 voucher or not?

    The other thing is (sorry to be a bore) but if a product is reduced to 50p and you have a voucher that is worth £1.00 can you get 2 of those products for free or are you just entitled to just one.......?

    One of the reasons I am asking is that I bought two td night creams yesterday at £10 each and one td day cream at £9 so maybe could have done all this differently instead of using the 2-4-3 offer.... and got another NO7 £5 voucher .......helppppp so confused!:confused:

    If you want to use the £1 off voucher in the de-stress magazine and don't want a candle. I found an awaken foot gift box. It was not free but after the voucher was 49p and even the SA agreed it was a bargain.

    It is foot scrub and creme (there spelling not mine). In a clear box the tubes contents are green.

    Would make a great standby in the old pressie box.

    Also stange thing I went to two different towns and two different branches. I did not use my AC in either. But in the second one I have a huge Barcode across the bottom of the receipt saying my validation code. Never seen it before. Is it something new.

    And very annoyed about the pure 150 point voucher was going to get some soap and to top up my points and then buy myself something. Never mind.

    Oh and I will be tanned this summer bought a No7 sunless tan kit for a whole £1 :j No more maggot legs :rotfl:

    All 3 Boots in Canary Wharf have removed all TD products under £5!
    The SA said they were told to remove them till the end of the month.
    Caught on at last. Now if they just read this thread.................

    I found some Essential Aromatherapy body lotion (blue) that was on the shelf for 99p (so used a couple of vouchers on those). There was also a blue set of the body lotion, shower scrub and body spray that was priced up at £3 so I also picked up a couple of those.

    *you have to actually pay £10 in actual money after all discounts are removed to get a no7 voucher.

    *you can only get one item per voucher, no change is given.

    hope this helps! :)

    If you're looking for the TD hand and nail creme try the hand cremes sections in stores as I found some there.. had been looking for it on the TD displays for ages in various branches and never saw any!

    These gift boxes (grapefruit and lime) were reduced to 75p at my local Boots. Thought I'd pay 50p for two of them, but till took money off each item. So they were both free.

    No aromatherapy bargains this morning, and hardly any TD stuff on the shelves at all. The DR shelves are regularly restocked though, and for £3-£5 for two, it's nice for pressies.

    Am assuming that there are very few MSErs in Bristol. Went into The Avonmeads branch on Saturday and they restocked the pamphlets (thank you very much!) and plenty of DR and Time Delay products. :j

    Went in about 2 hours ago to said Boots - lots of leaflets but also lots of spaces where TD wipes should be.....did get some eye cream though

    Not fair stamp my feet :D Never mind I am happy with my bargain. Strange thing though the boots I got it in had no SEL on the TD stuff. Wonder if they where trying to put people off buying it.

    As I saw a woman stalking around with a couple of vouchers and looking for stuff.

    Nothing I wanted so did not get anything.

    Another one to look for is in the Natural Collection section.....Rosewater and Cinammon Bath Pearls ( In a test tube like, see through container) Reduced to 25p and are BOGOF too! They smell lovely.

    300 No 7 Voucher from ACM scans for the 5 nail polish set in black box.....so free!!!

    Loads of bargains to be had in Clayton Square, Liverpool. Lots hidden away upstairs behind the camera section.

    Add to that my camera bargain in Argos......a pretty profitable day!! :D:D:D
