Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 47 - Post your finds here

For anyone stocking up on the slimfast smoothies on .com (they are 342 and you get 50% through health club) -- be warned: three six-packs just arrived today, and they all expire on 2/09! And I very rarely drink these (I prefer the shakes), but I got some as they were so cheap it was just a better deal to get three six-packs than to buy one individual smoothie a month.

Basically, be careful of stocking up too much on these, even if you have some every day!

Otherwise, I got some nice goodies I ordered last week.

No not had chance to use mine yet. Is there anything under a fiver tho, cos it does say that its to be used on cosmetics so wasnt sure whether it would work on the make up sponges for instance, or brushes. Would be great if it would tho!!!:D

The 500 extra points mailing voucher does not work on brushes/ makeup sponges etc, but the £5 off blinkey does, so certain cheaper brushes will cost you nothing. If you buy 2 R&M cosmetic items you can get an extra 750 points instore, (think its still valid) then use your 500 point mailing. Right at the end of the transaction hand over the blinkey.
This should get you 1250 points and £5 off. HTH.

Still beeping when trying to use 250 points vouchers though...any ideas why?[/quote]

Had the same problem with a 250 point voucher today, It was the one from the No7 Skin care that was OOTW. It states on the voucher - excludes price reduced lines. I was buying a price reduced item so it bleeped just like yours did. The SA tried the one from the ladies GWP instead and that one worked fine as it doesn't have the same exclusion printed on it.

So some will work and some won't it's a case of checking the small print.

Thanks again - think I'm too much of a wuss to try it but what's the worse that could happen... SA spots me, I go bright red (or start to cry!!:o ) as I plead ignorance/innocence... could they cart me off do you think please????

I took mine to the till with just a meal deal and nothing was said, but you have to choose your sa carefully!!:D If it fails I allways plead ignorance and they tend to believe me:rolleyes:

Whynot

Can the blue £5 off R&M voucher be used on these as easily embarrassed if refused. Will they give you the 3 4 2 just looking at small print?
TIA

They came today the glitch worked :j:j:j:j:j:j

Am so excited my first glitch:beer:

They are lovely and just the thing for some nice Sandra Scarlet type cheer you up presents (what a great idea) and for the next time my learning disabled DD 's collage's have a raffle so thank you Mr B they will go to a good homes. The only slight problem has been is my 5 year old twin DGD's think they are little girl sized very pretty and all for them, so they have had to be rescued, and one of them is now having a massive strop.and is never going to speak to me again ever ever ever..

I now also have a rather good supply of mini's so looks like the hamper trail for me as well

I picked up the "summer 08" No7 gwp today, with 325 points.

It is in a small cardboard carton, it's the Seven Essentials set. Contents include a full sized lipstick and nail varnish.
Lash 360 mascara
Moisture drench lipstick /Cameo
No7 P&P beauty serum
P&P day cream
Dual protection tinted moisturiser
No7 Nail polish
Younger longer hand cream ( need that after all this typing)

I saw quite a few, so there must be others lurking in other stores. It was well worth the points it cost me. You might be able to use a blinkey on it too.

I expect you will find this is SMA progress (red tin) liverbird? This is marketed at babies aged 6-24months to get around the regulations. If not i would be very interested to hear which sort it was as it needs reporting.

yes it is the sma progress they run the offers quite often 2 tins for £12 as do tesco's and presumably other supermarket chains. I have never seen the under 6 months formulas on offer anywhere always the 6months to 24 months ones. Now i understand why .
