Just back from a grocery shop at Mr 'bury's. Just in case any of you become addicted to the Pantene sachets when the offer expires, these were down from 25p to a bargain 12p each. So Mr B is normally making a huge profit on these, he can afford to give them away!:D

Well thats interesting. The conditioner is very nice. Just shows how little they must cost boots. In my opinion, if you are going to spend £10 in boots on some thing anyway, buying some Pantene sachets, then buying what you really went in to buy with points, means you got a little bonus (and you haven't spent more than you intended)

Did my first bit of proper Bootsing or so I thought

Bought No7 Anti Aging Lip & Eye Balm £5.63 used Blinkie
Roc Wipes £6.49 used £5 off voucher
5 Pantene Sachets (so I thought)
and a juice and sweets for my son.

All was well till I looked at my receipt and noticed no extra points, all ready to go and complain then noticed I'd picked up Aussie instead

I went an got a couple of bottles of Pantene Conditioner and asked the assistant to exchange, which she did without question.

I felt such an idiot I didn't dare go round again.

Im totally rubbish at this Bootsing game.

No Pantene sachets in Grantham Boots

Oooh forgot to add that the Oracle store clearance section had...
* Bathroom scales ranging from £9.99 to £14.99
* Water Filters exp 04/2009 £0.97 or pack of 3 for £2.50
* Boots holiday glow body lotion £0.60
* Boots holiday glow face lotion £0.60
* Toni and Guy mens hair stuff - check before you buy - They were in a tin and the stuff was really dried up in it £1.99
* Toni and Guy shave gel £1.99

That I can remember anyways, just took a mental snap shot for MSE

Yep, thanks to all you peeps on here its beginning to dawn on me that buying stuff I would buy anyway (ie hair stuff and skincare) at Boots, getting points and blinkies, is like getting stuff for free and then getting an added bonus of getting more stuff for free :beer: !

if i buy night nurse at the pharmacy and something else to total more than£5 will i earn a blinkie??

I brought night nurse and day nurse at the counter the other day as you have to pay for them at the pharmacy counter. I redemed a blinkie on a no7 product and earnt a blinkie back. So it shouldnt matter where you pay.

No don't think you do, I didn't get them the last couple of times I used my points.

No hun, when you pay with points, you don't get any till vouchers, and you can't use any vouchers in the transaction
