Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 48 - Post your finds here

pretzelnut

Your right i have given myself a slap across the face and given myself a good talking to about pulling myself together.

heres my list for tommorrow,

Shops 1,2,3,4,5,6
No7 mens hair and body wash £6.36
£5 off, 250 points coupon.
Total £1.36 + 250 pts

Shops 7,8,9,10,11,12
No7 4 in 1 wipes £6.36
£5 off, 250 points coupon
Total £1.36 + 250 pts

Shops 13 & 14
No 7 facewash £7.34
£5 off, 250 pts
Total 2.34 + 250 pts

Shop 15
Trevor sorbie volume spray £4.37
Pantenne £1.75
150pts WyB TS mailing, 150pts WYB TS ACM, £1 off pantenne, 100 auto pantenne points.
Total £5.12 + 400pts + blinkie

Shop 16
Elle Macpherson Lime spray £4.84
Elle firm body lotion (mailing voucher free with above) £0.00
cotton buds £0.60p
Use Elle mailing voucher.
Total £5.44 + blinkie

SO thats a spend of £31.36 + 3900pts + 2 blinkies.

OF COURSE if i find any reduced HE i will add them to the No7 purchases to make the total to £5 to get a blinkie. And if i find like 21 bottles @73p each i will be adding them to shop 15 or 16 as i have a 150pts WYS £20 mailing and a 150pts WYS £20 ACm voucher.

So that would then make my spend £46.69 and 6300pts.

WOOHOO.

Do you think....(deep breath)....14 bottles of Herbal Essences shampoo and 21 of conditioner is an excessive number to buy? Given that we use a bit less than a bottle per week of shampoo and slightly more of conditioner between the four of us that's really only four months worth. It's just that even Hubby, a laid back bloke normally, is looking a bit aghast at The Invasion of the Herbal Essences Bottles.

In my defence I should say HE is one of the shampoo brands I usually buy (depends on the offers) and this is the type I buy too. And it was 73p per 400ml bottle, rather than £2.98 (but sometimes is BOGOF or BOGOF). I mean, look at the maths...

35 bottles @ 73p = £25.55 (For £104.30 worth of shampoo/conditioner.)

Gained 3500 points and five Blinkies. (Five seperate transactions of seven bottles a time.)

Then spent the five Blinkies on a variety of reduced No7 products, like Hair Spritzer (£2.83) which my DD uses, Needed to top some of these up, but in total I spent less than £10 in cash plus five Blinkies for 15 products.

Plus my local Boots (Edinburgh Fort) is doing an offer where if you use a Blinkie on 3-4-2 No7 you get to choose something out of a box full of old GWP. So I have two L'Oreal, two different Rimmel and a Bourjois GWP.


So Boots maths means my 3500 points gained has offset my approx £35 cash spent, and I have gained 35 bottles of HE, 15 No7 products and 5 GWP effectively free.


Now my 12 year old DS "got" this concept of free stuff instantly. My Hubby on the other hand has gone to the pub muttering "Thirty five bottles of shampoo? The woman is mad...." etc etc. Am I mad? Is this taking Bootsing a step too far?????????:D

(There's plenty of 73p bottles left out there, btw. I made a point of only buying the blue greasy roots/dry ends type. I didn't want to swamp myself with shampoo I wouldn't use, however good the deal!)

I personally think you are doing really well and making the most of it! At least you well get through the shampoo in the next 4 months or so. I got 10 bottles yesterday (gave one to my mum) and 8 bottles at the weekend. I still have a few bottles in 'supply' and I reckon it will take us 2 years to use as DH has short hair and I tend to wash my hair every 2nd day and DS is only small (he still has lots of baby shampoo to get through). I'm not getting any more shampoo unless it is 50p or under even with all the points on offer as I am running out of space for it all. I think I may only have 1 more bottle of Boots mouthwash left from last years points glitch.:o Although I will miss just opening up a cupboard and pulling out another bottle.

I do enjoy looking at my stash of goodies but shame I have to hide most of it from DH rather than have it all out to look at. Ahhhh:D

The st tropez set is just gorgeous, i love it, folks at work asked if i'd been for spray tan, got to be my fave fake tan now, so pleased to get when ootw as could never afford £ 45 for it, so well pleased at bargain!
Also bought when 75% sale, so should last a good while:T

Is anyone SICK of blinkies yet. I am, lol.

Im sat here writing a list for tommorrow and i keep topping it up to £5 to get another blinkie, im getting as many back as im getting rid off.

I hope i find a good clearance shelf to use them all one once ive spent my original ones on full price stuff as the 250pts coupon doesnt work on reduced items.

PrincessWoo - some kind Bootser told me as long as I spent over £5 on clearance then the 250 points voucher would go through. I tried it and it did. :T

I got 3 reduced NO7 nail varnishes £3.xx each and 3 for 2, handed over my blinkie then me 250 points voucher. Then £1.06 (or something) to pay. HTHs

the gillette indoor putting set free gift when you buy two products went through at 0.00p with no products purchased. Great gift for someone in a black zip up case.

Sorry. Have done a store locator search but it didn't help too much. Can you tell me where this is please? Thank you!

You could still get a nice SA to manually add the points - my nice SA read the back of the voucher then manually added my 250 points, after paying 66p after a blinkie for reduced 342 hair spritz.
You are right that the voucher did beep on the reduced No7, but it doesn't beep on the full price No7.

Mine bleeped today on full price No 7. SA refused to add them manually. I was told 'Not in conjunction with other offer etc etc They were scanned before bluey and still bleeped. So no extra pts :rolleyes:

Apologies for posting on here, I think we're supposed to be posting on the new thread (link on previous page) but to reply to your question, I think its this one (from the store locator)

Manchester Trafford Park Unit 8A Trafford R Park Urmston Manchester Lancashire M41 7FN GB

If its the one I think it is, its the opposite side of the motorway, you can't miss it once you go under the motorway, its off to the right hand side. I've googled it, but I can't find a website for the retail park itself (it is mentioned on other sites, though) Its called Trafford Retail Park, on Neary Way/Barton Road.

HTH
