Dormouse

So is the EI loophole definitely over then? I got another few items yesterday afternoon (4ish) - many thanks burnham1 for the tip-off.

And as always with Boots, one door closes and another one opens - thanks to bedshaped for noticing the Time Delay loophole

Just coming back from Boots and I can confirm the E.I. no longer free, they come out as BOGOF. But since the handwash comes at the till as £1.66 I got 2, got 1x 150 pts voucher scanned so in reality paid 16 p. for both bottles of handwash... still not too bad (not as good as free though..). But as Dormouse rightly says... an other door opens! and I got the Time Delay eye cream for 50p! (retails at £5.50!) thanks op!

Anybody who's been today noticed they're not getting some of the previous offers?
I had no vouchers for OEP or Evian today.

Would like to know if it's just me or if they've stopped!

el6724, I checked the machine today at my local Boots and there was a surprising lack of any vouchers for some reason. I usually find lots of different vouchers, but only had 100 points when you spend £15. Other than that, they were just holiday offers, optician offers, magazine offers, etc. A little worrying. Hope they come back.

stockton boots today tried the EI stuff coming up 2 for £1.99 (?) ladies put through 2 150 points coupons so i though still free with a bit of profit, so went back and got some more different assistant refused to put them through together as voucher says 1 per transaction so had to do several different transactions and she would only put 1 voucher through at a atime still only paid 24 pence per bottle so not too bad but wish i had got the other assistant :rudolf:

start of new offers now no EPC or evian for me now

Picked up some time delay facial wipes for £4 to use with the voucher and it worked. Went back and tried it again with some time delay cleanser that was £4.50 and i had that free too!!!

Its a great offer I managed to get 8 items yesterday. The offer finishes on 31/1/06

Here's some of the time delay items you can get free:-

Facial Wipes
Hand and Nail Cream
Cleanser
Toner
Exfoliating Cleansing Wash

Hope this helps alot of people

Thats a great tip. This stuff is on 3 for 2 at the moment and I just had to see if it would take 2 x £5 off - it doesn't. I did however get a whole load more items - the other half will be well pleased! I asked for each item to be put through seperately and the nice cashier was happy to do this. This isn't even a 'loophole' ( which I feel less good about taking advantage of ). I just can't believe that they don't realise that they are giving away loads of their stock! - they must just hope at least some people become regular buyers.

I went today and got a load of the Time Delay stuff for the other half. The machine is giving me completely new offers - maybe this is the day they change. No more Cuticura ( made ££££s on that towards an ipod or walkman ).

As well as the sale, each store seems to have a clearance area where some stuff is 1/4 price. Now thats good enough, but if there are ac points as well you're laughing. It just needs a little perservering and a little thought.

I got coupons for 100 on £15 spend, 100 on FCUK ( unfortunately none in the clearance ), 2 free miniatures with Trevor S Washbag ( couldnt find that ), 50 points on Boots ingredients haircare and 300 points on No7 Skincare concentrates.

I'm sure theres some great deal to be had with the No7 - what with points all over the place and various stuff down to 1/4 price - just ain't found it yet!

I feel a real sense of relief that there was no evening primrose handwash to buy today. I couldn't walk past Boots without getting some, thinking that we will use it all someday... but meanwhile its causing a bit of a storage problem. The time delay stuff is great - I may be deluding myself but I think my bags are decreasing. :snow_laug :snow_laug that was £5.50 with £5 off. :money:

I know what you mean with the EP handwash - but know there's the new dilema of Everyday Indulgence handwash £1.66 BOGOF with 150 points coupon - I mean that's 2 bottles for 16p - kind of hard to resist even with a cupboard full of EP!!
