    Hi all - went to the Doctors today with DD, our Surgery has a little Boots attached to the surgery, they dont sell anything except medicine/medical aids etc but had loads of the Change 1 thing booklets so grabbed a few more of the yellow ones - Just thought I would mention it in case anyone else has a little Boots like this but has no vouchers, so that they can try it too!!

    Could always just pop in to get a packet of paracetamol as an excuse to check ;)

    PS if anyone hasnt got vouchers and wants some - PM me as I have spare ones now (thanks to getting these today) and I would be happy to send them on if you send me an SAE :p

    Oh dear - I hd a dream last night about going into Boots and finding all the shelves stripped!! I'm even dreaming about the damn place now.

    I've actually managed to hold off on going for the last few days - since Friday - lol. I still have 7 booklets left and I'm going to use them 1 day at a time - get 2 DR things and the Toni & Guy £1.50 off, both items are buy 2 for £7.00 and voucher takes £1.50 off each so cost £3.00.

    I'm actually splashing out and getting the more expensive DR items now as most of the cheap stuff is gone and how many blemish sticks does a 40 yr old need?? The Hand mask is really weird??

    now that boots are getting wise to time delay products ,i recommend all freebie seekers migrate to the aromathemary range{with the lilac leaflet.) i have just bought body spray/pulse gel{what ever that is}marked at £1 and they came up at 50pence,so i used 2 items per voucher .so after that id thought id try the shower gel marked at £1.99....sure enough it came up at 99p..so i got that for nothing too..mind you grapefruit and lime...should make my wife smell quite interesting,,shes already a bit of a sourpuss as it is...oh well gotta go..off to boots again..

    I was thinking exactly the same thing while I was searching the shelves last night! The DR facewash is really nice though and with an original price of £10 - 2 for £5 ain't bad and I will use it all ..... eventually :rotfl:

    Thanks, bedshaped!

    I've also nominated you for Post of the Month for your Boots Time Delay posts on the Grabbit and Freebies Boards.

    Good Luck! You deserve it!

    Try looking in the hand/nail cream sections of the stores.. I found some there after trying the TD displays with no luck!

    Thanks for that tip - none of the cheaper TD stuff on the shelf in Darlington but I did find a hand & nail cream in with the moisturisers! :)

    Would it be possible for someone to post a picture of one of the aromatherapy items they have managed to get for free as i dont know what they look like? Tried looking on the boots website but couldnt find anything in the range.

    Thanks

    Did the same thing, went to three different tills in Bromley Boots and managed to get 10 candles, 3 shower gels and 6 body sprays. Will be handing them out amongst my friends and relatives, who will think I am oh so generous!!! Really interesting the SA's reaction as they were commenting how good they were at normal price but slightly baffled when I handed them one voucher per transaction and it took the full price of all the items.

    No TD stuff left though, think they have got wise here.

    I got this instore today for £1, well the bath salts stuff, big tub. They had a small of the above for £2 and would have got it for a £1. Also picked up some TD wipes. Thanks.
