    the offer is 100 points per pantene item, added at the till, the cheapest item is the pantene sachets at 97p

  • I am suffering from Boots Anticipitis. This is worse than being on your due date of pregnancy. Will it come, won't it come, will it be in the day, will it be at night.

    Will it be today, will it be tomorrow, or even next week? Can't cope with the stress! My DDIL and DD were asking me today if I could do Grannyfying favours for them, and I found myself, shame of shames, thinking, "will that fit in with my Bootsing schedule!!!!!!!:o

    No, no, no! This won't do. I said "Yes" to all requests. Mr Boots, you have deprived numerous people of sleep, and we are such a loyal customer base. It doesn't make sense. Surely it would be better marketing to tell people when it will start, both online and instore? :confused:

    Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like the 75% off online sale isn't gonna happen?

    ETA: To be honest, I'm getting that fed up waiting for it that I'm actually going off the things in my basket! :eek:

    Update on Peterborough store

    No clearance except a few photo bits ( and I mean a few!)
    No last chance to buy

    2 SA stationed on skincare aisle to check everyone who picks up a GWP.As soon as I went to that side of the aisle they jumped on me and told me which product I had to buy !

    I used the SS tills and they also were manned with 2 SA's even though one till was out of action.

    I got 2 photo albums half price and BOGOF and managed to get a blinkie (she really did not want to give me it!)

    Then my no 7 points voucher would not scan so had to be voided and used another one . All the time she kept saying I should use the normal tills as I had more than one transaction!

    Luckily she did not see me put the 5 pantene sachets through on one of the shops !

    All in all quite a stressful shop! I wish they would just leave me alone!

    I spent about 20 mins in the store looking for clearance but nothing to be seen.Still quite alot of stuff upstairs in the 50 % sale and loads of shelves have been cleared and cages full of stock ready to go. Lets hope it is ready for the 75%!

    Manchester Market st are just swapping the sel's on the no7 accessories. I'd just done 1 trip round the store, paid then spotted her going to swap the labels. They did say at the first tills I couldnt combine the blinkie, 3 for 2 and clearance so I asked 'please try, see what the till says' and obviously it works!

    So, 3 mini brush sets, 2 cleansing sponge sets and 1 exfoliating sponge for 88p and a blinkie!

    Did my first bit of proper Bootsing or so I thought :o
    Snipped........

    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 :o

    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

    Hi crystal_lake :wave: Please do not fret, we have all done this at some time I know I have.
    Usually the 'excitement of the find' takes over................... :j
    Followed by 'the "Oh no I can't believe I did that".................:o
    Quickly followed by "So what!! I will refund/exchange".......... :cool:
