    Went to Aberdeen Dyce boots today as no luck in town and found td cleansers and toners under £5 so free (lots of leaflets as well). Only essential aromatherapy product available was bath essence at £2 so should have been £1, I noticed on my way out EA voucher had not come off so went back to get my £1 back. SA asked to see the bottle as well as the receipt before giving me the money back and I didn't notice till I got home she hadn't given me the bottle back! This is all too much trouble.
    I'd call the store up about it now- the SA's name should be on your till receipt. She must remember you from earlier and could then put the bottle of bath essence aside for you to collect tomorrow or whenever you're next in.

    Watford Harlequin Boots had hundreds of leaflets today. TD under £5 gone but I was after the lip plumper, lots of those, so picked up one. The DR is bogof so got a hand mask and rescue balm worth £15 for £4. Finally found the aromatherapy candles SEL 2.99 but scanning at 74p so got 2 free with vouchers. I was just about to leave when I saw the 4 No.7 nail colours in the pink pack for £3 so used my last No 7 voucher. Result!! :j

    May I ask where you found the aromatherapy candles. I have been looking for those all week.

    Last Friday and Saturday there were TD wipes in abundance in Watford, but now they seem to have disappeared. In fact, they have disappeared from every Boots I have been to this week.

    Still leaflets in my local one.

    They had no TD hand cream and assumed that they just did not have it in checked the TD area and the handcream cream as well.

    Today go in they have loads of boxes on the reduced stand down to £2 a box. I was very tempted to get 3 as it is 3-4-2.

    So £2 X 3 =£6 -£2 =£4 and then use a £5 voucher so 3 in one transaction for free. But chickened out. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Also had lots of skin kindly and Boots body science items reduced but they are BOGOF so not sure of the BOGOF would have worked.

    Yours

    Hey ho - another bumper boots day

    when looking for the glitterbabes party kits I spotted some Glitterbabes body sprays and spritzes

    Look out for -

    Glitterbabes Sugar Plum (clear bottle with pink glittery contents) and
    Dreamboat (clear bottle with blue glittery contents) Spritz the Glitz Body Sprays - 49p each and BOGOF

    and Berrytastic (clear bottle with purple contents - no glitter!) Body Spritz - 39p each and BOGOF.
    All are 100ml bottles

    Used one of each type of the £5 off coupons to get a Gym capsule ball for FREE! :T

    Also spent over £5 on 17 to get the gift set - spent on things I wanted anyway so this was great

    I love Boots :rotfl:

    That's interesting - perhaps the vouchers don't trigger on the miniatures?

    I bought 2 pulse point gels, a green bathing giftpack and a sleepeasy bubblebath miniature and used a voucher, it reduced the items from 50p-Nil (pulsepoints), 62p-Nil (green set) and the mini bubblebath went through normally at £2. I was quite happy to get nice bits reduced to free but I did note to myself that it contradicted what others had said on here about all purchases from the range triggering the reduction.

    I went to Gloucs Boots today. I did find two voucher stands this time, both tucked into remote corners, and virtually empty. None of the EA is on offer - it turns out the bath powder reduced to 1.99 in my local actually retails for 7.99 normally. There are also no cheaper lines and no spaces for them. A very full display of DR was bogof and full price, the TD looked as if it was being maintained at normal enough levels, they were out of the £6 face mask which I'd gone looking for, but not because anyone had cleaned up - there was handcream, line smoother and wipes.

    One little offer I noticed, for anyone who is pregnant and has to be careful about their skincare, there is a £2.99 Palmers Cocoa Butter body moisturiser which comes with a free tube of luxury body gloss shimmer cream.

    Theres a whole section dedicated to glitterbabes items in my local store (Walsall). They are near the tissues and hair accessories.

    But I suspect they will need hunting for as they wont always be near the same bits in every store - Sorry cant be any more specific
