I have a question? how do you know how many of an item is in stock?

Try to put 99 of the item into your basket - if there is less than 99 in stock it will then change to how many there ARE in stock. If that makes sense!

Hi

How is it possible to keep things in your basket for so long?
are you logged into boots.com when you do it and do you have to use a particular browser? [i use opera, ie and firefox, so I can use whichever is best]

also, can anyone tell me what is the significance of the electronic coin sorter that people are asking about? is it just a product that people want or are they needing it for a points/glitch transaction?

I have no clue how all you hardcore bootsters keep up with all this.

I just want the coin sorter! No glitch I know of!

If you add things to your basket while you're logged in then every time you log in those items will still be there until you remove them or they go out of stock. I don't think it particularly matter which browser you use.

Is the coin sorter any good? I had an electronic one before that kept getting jammed and I threw it out in the end cos it was rubbish. If the boots one is decent I might pick one up tomorrow.

ooh - nice SA at boots. i had a voucher for £2 off soap and glory, so i went looking for 'glow job' tinted moisturiser. couldn't see it so asked at the till, she went to look and said they'd sold out. i bought some glow lotion instead and handed over the voucher. she scanned the voucher and it didn't work because it was only valid for the pictured products (right scam! in the small print i suppose) but the nice lady said she'd override it and take £2 off anyway

shopping_mad I have bene thinking of you and wondered how you were getting on. I'm not jealous of you being 6 days over, but if it's any consolation it looks like I'll be going in the same direction

good luck xxxx

Not posted for a while - not had much time and also not really been bootsing for various reasons, one of which was a series of rude SA's, but had a lovely one today, and her supervisor :A

Have been saving vouchers though and went today armed with a list to maximise what I had from a parenting mailing, healthcare mailing and vouchers 'wombled' from various christmas gifts and GWP's :j

T&G Iron It Spray x2 £5.37 ea, 2 for £7
No7 P&P Night Cream £19.09
Bts Vit C 250 £2.20 (reduced price)
Max Factor Foundation £2 (reduced price)
S&G Mist You £5.87
Panoldol Extra £3.91 x 2
Smile T/C mouthwash £1.95
Lip Therapy £0.94
Olay Handcream £4.86
Pantene Conditioner £1.75

Used blinkie, Olay £4 parenting voucher, Pantene £1 parenting voucher. These parenting vouchers in date until march but say expired on the till. Lovely supervisor over-rode the till.

Total £43.48

Also used £2.50 off Healthcare (mailing) and £2 s&g (giftset) but neither of these came off the total - didn't realise until I was home and checked the receipt properly. That's the problem when you use so many vouchers - it's hard to check they've all gone through whilst you're in-store!

Used double points, so total normal points 236 (not sure why this many - should be more?)
500 pts p&p night cream (mailing)
250 pts from no7 gift set
250 pts from no7 GWP
100 pts S&G (mailing)
300 pts total spend (mailing)
200 pts total spend (ACM)
150 T&G (ACM)
300 Max Factor pts (GWP)
150 Boots Vitamins (mailing)
100 Pantene

Total 2536 :T :T :T And got blinkie, and picked up my pending .com points, which credited twice I think???? (don't think I had 2 lots to pick up, though I could be wrong)

Also heard the SA telling a customer that they'd be closed today between 1.30 and 2.30 today :eek: Very strange - it's a town centre store, so not a small store that would close for lunch.

The plot thickens :rotfl: :rotfl:
