Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 47 - Post your finds here

bunbun2

thanks to everyone for all the info on here. have had 3 good shops - online, Durham market place and Durham Arnison Centre (yes Geordie_lass I just popped up to have a look!)I woke up about 3.15 this morning so came down to do my online order. same as everyone else I got the generic error:mad: luckily when I re-ordered as a guest the order went through OK.
Durham market place had loads in, although the 7 or 8 No7 travel bags that were there yesterday had all gone by the time I got there at 9.00. still got loads though and used points. there was loads of sanctuary although it was going fast. I met Geordie_lass and we had a nice cuppa surrounded by our Boots bags! thanks Geordie_lass:A
I only bought a few things in the Arnsion centre - a couple of food gift sets and stocking fillers. there was not much stock there.
Had a great day but am so glad I will be able to get a full night's sleep!

Did my first bit of bootsing today!!

Anyhow... this morning, was up 6.30am... didnt get my order to go through on net till 9am so was running late to get to metro centre....
Spent £50 online and got all that i wanted in that lot ( used £5 off code and 500points code )
... then made my way to metro centre, got there for but 10.15... n it was chocka.... got 3 lots of stuff from sale bit (john frieda set, manicure set and eyeshadow set) then my way to look around.... spotted the GWP.
Put two of these in my basket ( the white bag loreal one and the black box loreal one). Went to SS checkout n did these myself... total £6 and went through fine (i felt so naughty!!).

Went and had a look upstairs, spied the No 7 clearance stuff, picked up a no 7 hair sun spritz thing and got that for free with the no 7 voucher.

Had a voucher for extra 200 points when spend £25 or more. Was needing to buy an electric toothbrush for the bf's b-day on valentines day. i got him a philips sonicare one marked half price down to £24.47 and grabbed a bottle of water to make it over £25 so got points there and another voucher.

Made my way then to the Tean Valley store (not much stock left there folks), got a brain workout thing, sports quiz thing and a fcuk gift set (£6 in total), got another voucher, spotted the no 7 clearance and got some gradual tanner x 2 with my two vouchers.

Feel i have done quite well today, just don't like having to battle with the crowds.... i am tempted to go n nip over sunderland though n c wot they have left there....

...and that was my first bootsing trip being sneaky with the ss tills and points!

Has anyone been to the Lakeside store yet. wonder if its worth a trip tomorrow.

I'd be interested to hear this too... maybe some sale shopping will get this Baby moving - 1 week overdue OH is working today but off tomorrow for my consultant appointment. Certainly last wednesday they were overflowing with Xmas gifts. Could do with stocking up my presents box for the year ahead, was very useful last year.

Good afternoon all!
Went to Durham marketplace Boots this morning and got everything I wanted plus a few things I didn't know I wanted till I got there :rotfl:
It was much busier than last year but most people seemed very organised and it was all very polite, I doubt if there will be a lot left now unless there's more stock in the back. The shop was too crowded for any restocking of shelves but maybe they'll do it when there's a bit of a lull.

How many of those people were fellow MSE'ers I wonder?
Met up with the lovely bunbun2 and we were sipping our hot drinks and peeking at each others shopping by 10am, far from the mayhem.
Called in to North Road branch on the way there and the way back again, just to check there was nothing I'd missed. Not much of a selection there but pleased to find a set of fragrance minis which DD has had her eye on.
Has anyone been to the Arnison Centre today, was it busy?

Good luck to all of you guys who can't make it instore today, I hope dot com is soon fixed and you manage to get what you want.

pleased you got the fragrance minis you were after. had they sold much in North Road? I just about made it up the hill with all my bags:rotfl:

I went after I'd been to the gym this morning. Got to town at about 9.45am (had a v.quick workout lol) and was starting to feel a bit panicky as there were LOADS of people with big Boots bags lol - was almost sprinting across Cannock to get to Boots.

Didn't see any No7 sets, no Sanctuary either but did get a lovely Botanics washbag filled with goodies for my sister for £3.91, a mulled wine set for my Aunt and Uncle, Simpsons smellies for my son's 12th birthday next month, two of the Fresh £10 boxes for pressies for next Xmas, enough gift wrap and tags and enough cards for me and the kids to write next Xmas too.

Total £21.58
Double points coupon = 168
Mailing coupon150 points when you spend £20 = 150
So got back 318 points

Quick silly question if I may ask, can I use the no7 250pointer from gift sets on clearance or can it genuinely only be used for full price stuff ? I know you cannot use on the sale gift sets?...

TIA

Just found my answer elsewhere.
