Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 48 - Post your finds here

Went out to the Fort this afternoon. Got 5 more Pantene sachets to add to the 3 I bought the other day and fill up the 200ml tub from my conditioner that I've just finished (seemed sensible to me) and a bottle of HE - not reduced, unfortunately - for my fiance. 600 points + another blinkie.

Then went to the No7 tills. Got 3 bottles of Instant Radiance beauty lotion for £3.80 each, so £2.60 with blinkie, and a shot at the Lucky Dip box. I got the L'Oreal black box that unfolds out with the gold patterns on the lid. Love the colour of the eyeliner in it (silver black), and the lip gloss smells gorgeous. Then used another blinkie to get a concealer brush for 63p.

I then headed back to Princes Street and their Urban Decay stand to get a pencil sharpener for my concealer that I bought the other day in the 500 points offer (which I'm really liking). Ended up buying not only the sharpener, but a blusher and their eyeshadow transforming potion too. Also got a No7 eyeshadow brush with another blinkie. Put the 2 more expensive UD items through together (500 points + blinkie) then the sharpener, eyeshadow brush and a chocolate bar to make it just over £5 (another blinkie).

So overall I spent 3 blinkies, earned 3 more and gained 1120 points and the gwp.

Woo, new look forum

Paid Cambridge Retail Park Boots a flying visit tonight...still quite a few No7 skincare bits in clearance including Hydo Quench stuff and Essential Moisture stuff...plus a few No7 brushes.

In the end just decided to get one of the new Stay Perfect nail colours in something like Vivid Purple - used blinkie + 250pts voucher so total to pay something like £1.12 - still not a fan of these polishes for my fingernails, but should look great on my toes (Thanks Miss N for those vouchers, that's one down )

Then spotted a pair of lovely turquoise and silver spiral earrings at £4, so got those with my points. Naff all sale stuff left.

Still got two blinkies left, decisions decisions

Is there a minimum spend for the 17 100pts vouchers? 17 is 241 at the moment so if no minimum spend, you could probably do quite well there

Re No7 250pts voucher - 250pts is for the UK, 350pts is for Ireland (£ in UK, euro in Ireland)

If you could find ten bottles of reduced Herbal Essences shampoo or conditioner that would probably be the cheapest way of getting £10 of points, the till will give you 100 points on each bottle. Also you could use your No 7 points voucher (250 points in the UK, 375 points in the Republic of Ireland) on reduced No 7, hand over your points voucher first then pay with the blinkie that you would earn when you spend over £5 on the HE shampoo.
You should be able to use both the TS vouchers together, SA willing, but the HE shampoo and conditioner cost less than TS

yes, £5 so even though i'd get more than usual for the money with the 3 for 2 its would cost 5 to get 100 back

ah right, i still cant see where it says ireland on it but that must be it, thanks

I would buy
6 x pantenne sachets @ 97p each

This would earn you a blinkie and 600 automatic points

You can then use the blinkie to get No7 4 in 1 wipes. You can then use your 200pts on No7 skincare, 250points coupon and £5 off No7 which will mean you get these for £1.36 and 450 points.

Therefore for a £7.18, you get all the above products and 1050 points.

But if you do manage to get your hands on any reduced herbal essences buy enough bottles to get a £5 spend.
For each bottle you will get 100 points so if you find some that are reduced to 73p buy 7 bottles costing £5.11 then you get 700 points and a blinkie, you can then use your blinkie on the above mentioned wipes with your coupons.

This way you would spend £6.47 get 7 bottles of Herbal essences, 1 pack of wipes and 1150 points.

I would only take them back after replacing the vouchers. Not very fair for someone else buying the product otherwise. (Assuming the vouchers are still in date.) There's been a lot of discussion on here about buying products and finding that someone has already taken out the vouchers, and none of it very pleased about the situation.

Hi

You are right, I didn't think of that, I bought all of the Soap & Glory sets at full price and not one of them had a voucher and I was a bit pee'd off about it!

I'll give them to my nieces for Monday/Tues/Wed (delete as appropriate) presents.
