Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 47 - Post your finds here

Ettenna

Went to Basingstoke today. The shop is FULL of sale stuff - about 5 aisles of it.

Was someone after the No7 ?holiday accessories set at £50? There were about 7 of them in there. Lots of No7 P&P sets. Loads of mens and womens FCUK, Botanics, some Country Living, some toys, hair stuff, kids clothes, Tropez self tanning thing, foodie stuff, Baileys gifts

They have new and old No7 face creams available (old style reduced).

I think I will take a wander in there on Wednesday after dropping the kids to school.

Newbury Retail Park has very little sale stuff left but the High Street has loads. Retail Park has Admit It sets as a GWP WYS £12.

hi guys, unbelieveable bad luck with my internet connection which ceased to be on tuesday evening causing untold stress levels. Have been unable to check .com to see if sale has started, only snatching glimpses in work. I'm now using my boyfriend's mobile so forgive me but i can't look back through the last few pages as it's so slow! My question is this, is there a points offer when you buy two r+m? I thought i read that somewhere but it didn't work for me today. Tia

But there are two stores in B'mena and I'm sure the other store has some sorry if this seems greedy but I have sat up the last 4 nights waiting for the sale and thought I deserved a treat !!

Don't suppose anyone in Coventry or Warwickshire is aware of any Boots stores that still have the Olay GWP?? Also I have bought plenty of nail and fle buffer sets of No7 free with my blinkies - but would much prefer being able to get more of these if they have been reduced? Anyone know of anywhere local to me that has reduced their nail accessories already?? Thanks

The Olay GWP is actually scanning at £0.00 - so doesn't technically speaking need any Olay purchase. Most peeps here seem to be buying Olay wipes £2.93 when trying for the GWP, just so it doesn't look weird. Or put the Olay GWP through on self scan.

HTH,

the Olay eye make-up remover is on offer at the moment at £2.12. I bought some the other day:D

Hi all, I would also like some clarification about the R&M points...I saw a poster in store yesterday that said 500 points wyb 2 products from Ruby & Millie, Urban Decay, Urban Retreat (and possibly Jemma Kidd??) and I'm sure it said it ended 27/01/09.
I bought an Urban Decay Eye Pencil and a Ruby & Millie nail varnish, and didn't get the extra points, although I didn't realise until I got home. Was going to phone CS to check, but thought I'd check with you guys first.
Can anyone help???

Thanks for the info .I am in glasgow city center on thursdays and there was no pantene in the stores I went too.
They also had no Olay or l'oreal gwp .In fact I havent seen these in any of the stores I have visited.
They also had no s & g skincare which I really like. Sometimes glasgow branches arent that great. However im in Edinburgh on Friday so can visit princess street - will report back.
Hopefully the " sale" will be on by then:o

The Boots on Byres road has some S&G stuff - not huge amounts though, but worth a look if you're around. If you're looking for something specific pm me and I can have a look as I'm down there most days (Byres not Boots!)

After my slight bodge up earlier in the week, I had a much better Bootsing day today. I needed painkillers and a few health bits first, so did that and got a Blinkie (and a nice health club discount). Then did two other mini shops, to mostly use Blinkie's and 250 point No7 vouchers.

I had problems finding the No7 mineral GWP and thought they didn't have it, but eventually found one hidden away, so also bought the mineral foundation. There was only one till open (tiny store) and a big queue - and I'm afraid it got bigger when I was there, as despite asking to separate the items into two shops, when I was wasn't looking the SA mixed up the items and put the wrong things through, so had to re-do it. What I did find interesting was that the 250 point voucher beeped and wouldn't go through with the mineral blusher, but it was absolutely fine with the No7 quick thinking wipes. So maybe it depends what you're buying?

Sorry to be nosey hun but what store was this? I think I remember you saying you were in the Southampton area and so am I so would be interested to know!

Also thanks to the lady (sorry I cant remember your name) who went to Eastleigh today as I wasn't sure if they sold the pantene sachets so thats very useful for when I pop in next week! Thats a shame about your pantene but thanks for the heads up.

I went to Southampton Above Bar today, quite a few gifts left but did not see any Botanics, Santuary or much hair stuff. They had some Baileys sets, Red Ruby and Millie cases and some Toys by the door to the lower section (Pharmacy and food). They had some Pantene sachets but not sure if they do now as I left about 4 but they look like people had raided them. Got served by some lovely SAs today but all my 250 NO7 point coupons beeped but were all manually added with no problems. Quite a bit of NO7 reduced such as suncare stuff, nail polish and body polish. Will post my shop later but boosted my points from £5 to £30!

Does anyone know if the NO7 buffer (think its a buffer/file with the little case) is going through with Blinkie? Also are the R&M sponges going through like last time too? I cant remember if its been siad if they do or not....Sorry! xxx Nicky xxx

P.P.S Does anyone else on here go to Sheffield/Meadowhall Boots?

There was no reduced no7 on Fargate today, but upstairs is absolutely heaving with gift sets!!

Am hoping to sweet talk my husband into taking me to Meadowhall tomorrow
