  • I did my first bootsing run today. I visited Witham and got loads of Herbal Essence shampoo and conditioner 400ml for 74p and 100 points for me. There are loads left. I also got a few 200ml 2in 1 shampoos for about 43p.

    I then popped into Chelmsford Chelmer Village and town centre stores where I picked up more 400ml conditioner for 74p (no shampoos left) and some pantene sachets.

    I ended up with 5 blinkies so bought a mens shaving gel and a hair/body wash which after blinkie cost £1.50 each.

    The result was aside from toothpaste and Medised that I had to get, I spent about £25 and got £35 points which enabled me to buy the camera I wanted. The Kodak camera was £199 but now on special offer for just over £75 :j . I had tried to buy it the other day with points and cash so would have had to add £35 to the points this way it only cost me £25 extra and I have shampoo and conditioner for several months to come.

    I did feel a bit funny keep going to different tills but as the Chelmsford stores are quite large it is easy to get away with. Carrying it all was hard work though!

    So a big thanks to whomever posted about the Herbal Essence and Pantene glitches.

    Can anyone tell me if you cannot use vouchers from the ACM in a store that doesn't have an ACM?
    I printed a TS 150pts from the machine in a large store & tried to use it in a small store but was refused by SA...saying you can only use ACM vouchers in stores that have the machines:confused:
    TIA
    You can definitely use them, see the Advantage Card FAQ

    "Why doesn't my local store have an advantage card extra offers kiosk?
    We have selected our larger Boots stores to house our kiosks because they have a much wider range of products than our smaller stores and therefore we are able to broaden and increase the number of offers we make available. Coupons can be used in any Boots store as long as the coupon has not expired and the product is stocked. We have also added some extra offers kiosks into a number of smaller stores where there has been a business requirement to fill in geographical gaps ensuring our customers do not have to travel too far to their nearest extra offers kiosk store."

    Sorry to quote myself, but anyone? Please? :o

    Sorry mrsbb - haven't been concentrating. I haven't been to the Lincoln Boots since the morning of 75%, but it was so bonkers that I'd be very surprised if there's anything left but wrapping paper. Not really helpful, I know.

    no, but if you find one, I will be checking-in too:rotfl: seriously, my addiction to boots is getting a little out of hand:o I just can't resist a bargain. I bought quite a few HE on sale this morning, then went and spent the points on bergasol suncare products. All reduced to £1 and under (must book a couple of holidays now to somewhere very hot, as I have enough suncream to sink a couple of ships:eek: )

    I also found - on clearance: elle body wash reduced to £1, 2 x soltan self tan kits reduced to 60p each and glossy locks reduced to 80p so got 3 for £1.60 I paid with points for the glossy locks too. I didn't want to waste my last blinkie.
    Hmmm £3 by me and I thought that I was getting a bargain:rolleyes: Normally nearer the £12 mark at full price
    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.

    Does anyone know if the red Olay GWP works the same as the purple Olay GWP? :confused: Saw some in Meadowhall today. Just grabbed a purple one though as I knew that worked. No sign of any L'Oreal or MF ones anywhere.

    Whats the red Olay GWP?

    Awww thats okay hun - not worry, and it is helpful of you, I might need wrapping paper ;) Plus, there might have been a few returns....I'm just itching to go to lush, and since lincoln and hull are the closest towns with one, I thought I'd go bootsing somewhere different too ;)

    Thanks :)

    I have used several ACM vouchers in our local very small boots that has no ACM on numerous occasions. SA is wrong.

    Many thanks to the person who posted about the 100 points with Herbal Essence shampoo - I was able to get some today. :T
  • Whats the red Olay GWP?

    Not sure as couldn't get too close - SA was guarding them and didn't want to draw attention to myself - but they were right next to the purple GWP on the same Olay stand in the same shaped box but red. :confused:
