    I think it's crap cos you're changing 97p in cash for 100 points (which limits you to only redeem the points in Boots remember) and someone's also said they're 12p in Sainsburys.

    Regardless, in your example:-

    "Say I want to buy £5.80 pack of huggies or whatever they charge now...

    I buy 6 x pantene = 5.82 gain 624pts and a blinkie
    Buy huggies using points, leaving 44pts

    Ok...I never wanted the pantene, but they are a bonus!"

    If you'd just bought the Huggies with cash, you'd still have got about 20 normal AC points on them and you'd still have got a blinky. And you say you never wanted the pantene anyway.

    So you're 20-odd points up. Better than a kick in the la-las but crap compared to some of Mr B's offers.


    Spend the points, then return them!

    just checked on Mr T .com and they are 24p! we really are taken for a ride on this Boots bandwagon aren't we !

    Just been to the Boots Clearance store, and they have all their Xmas items at 75% off ;o))))) I asked how come they started a day early, and I was told it was because they had to do all the prices manually, where as the "normal" stores just got the till updated...don't know if that makes sense ...
    Anyway, didn't buy too much, as I had forgotten my Advantage card, but the items they had, they had loooooads of, especially the 5 miniature purfume gift sets, so if i don't find too much at the normal Boots tomorrow, I will pop into the Clearance one ;o)
    Kir ;o) ;)

    Some of the bigger branches have those nice little baskets with wheels, but though the Lakeside SAs assure me they have some, they've not as yet been able to locate them. :confused:


    I love all of yoour posts Sandra. I only discovered the baskets with wheels at my loacl boots at Christmas. there was a pile of blue plastic baskets and near them what looked like waist high blue pols woth wheels on. i had no idea what the poles were until i saw a lady with 2 baskets attched to one, one above the other - a double decker basket. Don't know if they look the same in lakeside.

    Happy shopping tomorrow. i hope you get everything you want and I look forward to your review of the day.
