:mad: Has anyone seen the lip plumper in the Warwickshire area? I really want to try that but can't get it anywhere!

I got one on Friday night in the Leamington store. There weren't many left so I only got one. Really don't like the stinging if you go slightly over your lipline though.

Got another 3 x No7 vouchers today. Found one left in store on a shelf in Kingswood branch Bristol - yippee so pocketed that one.

Then went to the till and a old women in front spent £15.00 but did not want the voucher so turned round and asked me if I wanted it as she would not use it in a million years - so pocketed that one.

Then even though I "bought" a time delay exfoliator and some baby bits and the original total would have been £10.15 the sales assistant gave me another so 3 vouchers when I only spent £5.15.

Going to go to a larger boots at the weekend and see if I can print off some more 300 points with No7 skincare and rack up some more points!!!:j

Went into a small branch in Gateshead today and they have restocked their shelves. lots of TD wipes and stuff for £5, so got 3 lots of wipes. Also found lots of leaflets so pocketed a few more. Bought 10 packets of bodyform as they had the £1 off so got them for 37p which i thought was great. however, after boots went into TEsco and they were only 98 p with £1 coupon off, so bought another 5. Intend to go back to both stores tomorrow and do the same again! Bought some pure soap at 37p but no extra points on this and cannot remember what the thread said again. Still it does smell nice, similar to Dove I thought! Also spent 3 x £5 no 17 vouchers on wipes, sun tan (?) holiday gift pack at £6 and some shimmering foundation reduced from £9 to £4.75. Did not dare ask the lady to put the 300 points voucher throught after i had made numerous transactions on all these items and held up the queue!

I went into Boots in Livingston on Saturday & they had Time Delay Hand cream, picked up one (should have been a fiver) was half price because of an old barcode! So I picked up another & went to the counter armed with my £5 voucher, the young Saturday guy said to me that they were buy 2 get one free!

So I went back & got another which made it £15 worth of hand cream for nothing! I was a bit miffed that they handn't got any other stuff for under a fiver, so I went & got 3 more hand creams!

Woot! £30 of handcream for nothing!


You can never have too much hand cream.

There doesn't seem to be any consistency in prices and offers in different stores.. have read on here that people have found both DR and TD items reduced and BOGOF where I have found they are full price with only the DR having a BOGOF offer in my local stores..

Also some SA's seem happy to let people put multiple purchases through and allow you to use the No.7 300 points voucher for items other than stated.. I have encountered jobsworths and rude SA's on most visits to Boots in the last week or so...

Can't be bothered trawling back pages and pages ..... but I was probably commenting on somebody going in and clearing the shelves of TD. There has been plenty of discussion about this. People getting far more than they can possibly use and flogging it at car boots or on Ebay.
It smacks of greed and spoils it for a lot of us.

did you perhaps mean where some one said her branch only allowing one transaction per customer as some was women sat on the floor ripping vouchers out and clearing the shelves of goods. Also being rude to the staff whilst there?

thats a bit naughty I think.. dont have a problem with anyone taking advantage of the offer where they can, but thats pushing it a tad!

2 things!!

Can we have different threads for BOOTS!!! Its impossible to follow, we may be missing out on so many bargains because everything is "filed as one!!"

"2ndly, when you see a bargain, unless there are loads it is very hard not to take full advantage!! Not just for yourself, but for your family and friends. However, if you empty the shelves, perhaps you should keep quiet!! Instead we all race off to our local for a bargain, but of course you were there first!!! But I dont care just warn me, that there are none left!!!

I don't blame you!! I too would buy all, if ther were only a few!!!, but at least say none left at ????? so we dont make a wasted journey.

A wasted journey, to be honest, is just a journey to your nearest shop!! No Petrol, Less time, even possibly no parking fee!!

Waste of time and time is money!!!!!!!!!

IE if you buy up from your local, just tell us!!!
