Aromatherapy foot pamper kits reduced to 75p (from £4.99, I think) at Middlebrook. I took 2 with my voucher, prepared to pay the extra 50p, but it looks like they are definitely taking off £1 for each item. So two for free. And then another two. And, erm, then another two. And two shower gels free too.

Two DR items, two TD items, and three No,7 reduced Chrismas things with my 3 £5 vouchers (courtesy of my sis, who nearly died today when I made her split her shopping up into £10 batches!!). Total spend £4.00. Value of items - approx £96!!!

Anyone know if I can use the No7 £5 voucher and the £3 off No7 Uplifiting skincare.

As there face mask that is £10 but with both vouchers it would be £2.

Yours

I would think so Calley. I used the £5 No7 voucher + £3 off voucher from a
mailer + the 300 points voucher from the AC machine in the same sale for one item and they all went through ok.
Think it's just 2 of exactly the same voucher that the tills wont accept.

I've managed to get some TD Hand Cream, and think I'm becoming addicted to the smell. But I just can't quite put a name to what it reminds me of! My hands are going to look much younger than the rest of me if I continue to use it as much as I have over the last few days.

I normally only get one item a day, as i am in town every lunchtime Although we do have 2 Boots, so sometimes go to both of them. Smaller Boots (Baby Boots really) has some TD items reduced, but will only take one item per voucher Don't really care cos all I do is go and get another voucher ( or get one out of my bag)

Really upset in Boots today, 1st time tried to get DR stuff & forgot about doing 2 diff transactions, had bought quite a bit , gave SA 2 vouchers for DR & 1 No 7 voucher, she put eveything through then said you can only use 1 of them, asked if she could take off 2 DR's & put through seperately assistant was really horrible, said was only 1 per customer, said I hadn't realised & one set for mum (true) she said she couldn't so said I didn't want them, she tried to take off & could'nt so was getting more annoyed at me sighing loudly & shaking head, finally said would have to start all over again, all this while huge queue - soooo!! embarassed. Did sell me both lots of DR in end but I had put some more booklets on counter, she said you can't have those, I told you only 1 per customer & took them off me. I rushed out so upset then looked at receipt to see had been overcharged for something, went back in thought I would go to another SA, as I walked in SA was there talking about me!!!! Said she had all these (6) and proceeded to say things about me. I was in tears, went to another SA who was really really nice , told her what had happened & she wanted to tell manager - wouldn't let her though & said she hadn't been told only 1 per customer & had taken some for daughter day before. Sorry to go on but felt had to share this as so upset. Wonder if bargains are worth it but hey tomorrows another day!

Oh dear, I do feel for you - try not to let the bad atitude of one SA put you off though, it doesn't say one per customer anywhere! She was wrong you weren't.

Try again tomorrow and just remember to take one at a time to the till and then go to another till with another item. Or get one a day if your near a boots.

this is crap...no one has the right to treat you like this, same kind of thing happened to me today bought 2 TD at one counter and wandered to another with other stuff to find the 1st SA warning the second SA about me!!!

i would complain to boots there is no excuse for this you were not being fraudulent or stealing , mearly optimising one of their offers, SA seem to be one extream or the other!!! probably a wisened old hag !!!!keep smiling

Clairog

philsu - please tell me that your going to complain? That is outrageous. Someone suggested earlier that even if you don't want to give your name you should phone of mail them anonymously as that is completely inappropriate:mad:

Hope your feeling better - I just can't understand why some staff are being like that - there always really nice to me but probably can tell that I'd bite back even harder if they were rude to me :eek:

Just try another store and think that your having the last laugh on her

I would have reported her to the Manager right away! You were'nt doing anything illegal, she had no right to upset you. Some of these SA are right little Hitlers... :mad: .... you'd think it was coming out of their pockets!
Don't let her put you off....get back there tomorrow!
