snipped.......

What I don't understand is that the Royal Jelly bag and Glitter babe bag were both £10 before the sale. However, the glitter bag went through as £1.84 and the Royal Jelly bag as £2.44. I'm not complaining though. :rotfl:

Sorry for Snipping......its because of the reduction in VAT, I think. If that is the case, the glitter babes would have been £8 full price. I could be wrong tho!

In the past CS have usually refunded damaged items but allowed the customer to keep them as a gesture of goodwill, definitely let them know, most of the damage seems to ocurr in transit because things are badly packed.

If there's any question about the damage then take a photo and offer to email it to them.

Ok, thank you Geordie_lass. Will phone them now x

I'm trying to get back into my bootsing again, I havnt been around for ages for obvious reasons. Still have some very dark days. They have been lightened a little though with our lovely news that I'm 16 weeks gone with baby #3 who will be here at the beginning of July (bad timing, Thomas's 1st anniversary will be 25th June!)

So have to get back to bootsing and get stocked up on nappies and everything else we're gonna need! build my points back up too.

Sorry for being off topic, will pm next time. Just wanted to say a proper Hi. You were all so wonderful to me when Thomas and my mum died.

You could be right but the Glitter bag definitely has a £10 price tag. Who knows but I'm not complaining as it meant I paid even less! :j

OK, Boots sleuths, has anyone learned if there will be a new no7 gift with purchase Wednesday the 28th when the offers change over? If so, what is it and how much do you have to spend to get it? Sometimes an SA will share this info, and sometimes there will be ads in magazines before a new gwp starts. Anyone got a scoop to share?

I will probably go to Boots tomorrow, and it may be the last time I'm in before the 28th. I'm trying to decide whether to buy some things now when no7 is 342, or wait if there will be a gwp next Wednesday (btw, others planning the same thing, be aware that if there is a gwp next week the no7 probably will not be 342 anymore, so you've basically got to decide which offer you'd rather have. Sometimes certain parts of the range will stay on sale 342 or bogof when there is a free gift, as has happened with men's no7 and suncare, but you typically don't have both offers together on the whole no7 line).

Some very weird but wonderful things happened to my 75% sale prices instore too - I got one item, which was definitely £10 full price, for 63p :T !

Great that you found your bargains so far after the first day of the sale:D

They usually continue to give them out right up to the day they finish - some stores might run out of stock of them before then though.

Actually, I think they usually give them out until the day before offers change (which is always a Wednesday). The cool thing is that the vouchers sometimes expire a few days after offers change, so you can use them on the new deals and maybe even luck out and combine them with the new voucher that will start on the Wednesday or the new acm offers. Which is why it's not a bad idea to save one just in case.

However, one problem with these vouchers that aren't printed by the tills is that stores sometimes run out, so you can't count on getting one for certain while the offer is technically still on.
