    oooh i just found a SAVE £1 when you buy any pantene product voucher from a previous mailing, does that mean i could get 1 of the sachets for FREE as well as 100pts. Or get a bigger bottle save £1 and get 100pts, oooh decisions, decisions.

    Im getting all excited about running into boots tommorrow now, DF says he's gonna get me a t shirt printed saying ''I have a boots card & VOUCHERS!''

    Ever so slightly of topic, How do you guys organise your vouchers so you dont look like a bag lady at the counter with people huffing behind you in impatience? Do you have some special booklet or something, or mark them etc???

    We could have a whole thread just for this alone. Earlier this year some of us started using little mini photo albums (now called brag books) that Boots were selling off for silly money.

    I took the middle out of 2 of them and sewed them together (The cover got in the way:rolleyes: ). I keep most of mine in there.

    Plus I carry a pair of scissor (For cutting coupons out of H&B mags.
    I also have a pocket full of paper clips- essential

    Before I go out I make a list.

    Clip together the vouchers that I need for each transaction (Remember to clip together vouchers that will combine also)

    Collect AC vouchers,and keep them in the outside pocket of mini album.(Which is now fat with vouchers)

    Everyone has their own system, and you will soon adopt your own. A bag with lots of inside pockets will help for extra big vouchers when they come along (Usually internet printable ones)

    We all started out like bag ladies, with security men following us. :rotfl: :rotfl: HTH

    I use my AC card for every transaction, regardless of a glitch or not. The way I see it is, if the till has let me have a certain transaction, it must be ok with Boots.

    If the till bleeps, I either tell the SA that I don't want it, or I accept that the glitch isn't gonna work for me and pay up anyway

    If I started to worry that I may be 'recognised' doing a certain transaction if I used my AC I wouldn't do the transaction, as I think I would end up parenoid or a nervous wreck, and I dont want to be either. :cool:

    For me, its simple, it either works or not. Either way I still use my card.

    Well said Pollsdolls :A

    Maybe we should all adopt that attitude for 2009. :T :T :T Mr B gets more than enough £'S from everyone of us.:mad:
    MR B & His Honcho's choose when to burst or encourage ' Glitches ' give us masses of points (which can only be spent in their store on even more GLITCHES.;) ;)
    Anyway thats me said my piece for 2009 !!!!!!!!!!

    do you get 100 points with every pantene item or just 100 per transanction?

    I've got £3.00 pantene voucher from them and im thinking i could get 3 of the sachets but obviously i can't split the voucher to use seperatley

    I know just what you mean, it really bites doesn't it, when you get home, look through your purse and realise you didn't make the most of your Boots points and vouchers etc. I hate going to Boots on the spur of the moment because i always mess up my spending then!

    I did that today, bought No 7 stuff with my blueys and totally forgot to use my 250pts. Doh!!!

    I am pleased really as now I can save them for when I use the SS tills, thanks to adulong66 :T :T

    Everything happens for a reason.;)

    thanks pollsdolls, I am always fumbling around with vouchers too - may have to invest in one of these!

    Also, do you do all 5 shops (as above lists (thank you!)) and take all to the till but ask to put thru seperately, or do them all completely seperately?

    Last question, have we categorically decided that the voucher in the GWP (Gold one) doesn't work and we should just use the ones from gift sets?

    TIA
