When your buying HE, does it have a special clearance sticker on, or is is the main barcode which is scanning at the 44p prices?

I really want some!!! Many thanks, and I will be forever in your debt and at your mercy for an answer (Is that a bit OTT??!)

I have found some reduced on the SEL and also some with the sticky clearance stickers, so look around for both.

ALS- the HE is reduced on the SEL not on the bottles-they were taking all the bottles from display in my branch yesterday though, leaving just the full price ones there.

Morning!, We all have silly days! HE on normal shelves the SEL is marked reduced price - smaller writing. Only certain flavours (quoting another user! LOL). Maybe they will reduce all eventually to get rid of old stock. Happy hunting.

Hi
In my store they were on the clearance shelf witth 88p sticker on them, be careful when buying clearance stickered ones as for some reason they do not always scan and I noticed on the till the sa was putting them all through under beauty = no points, luckily I had a great sa who took them to anoyher till and tried again so I got my points

My stores have the old ones, but SEL says £2.97 or similar! They've got a display with all the new ones on. I hope they reduce soon, because whose going to but the old one if they an get the new one for the same price (apart from the extra 100ml in the old, but obviously us consumers are too stupid to notice that as we're blinded by the new design!)

Its like the HE offer was made for me, because I've just opened the last bottle of HE from Tesco from the free ones probably 2yrs ago!! I couldn't imagine actually going in and paying for some!:rotfl:

Has anyone tried the new P&P foundation? I got some yesterday as I was tempted by the GWP and I must say I am disappointed with it. It seems to sort of peel off into little tiny pieces. I thought it was my moisturiser so tried it again without but its still the same. Is it just me or has anyone else had this problem. I'm tempted to take it back but I don't know where I would stand with getting a refund.

I would take it back and explain why you're disappointed with it. It may be a faulty product.

I am new to this to but will try and help.

If you look on the first post there is a list of abbreviation meanings, things vouchers can be used with, special offers etc

Other people have found other things reduced and have posted these throughout the thread. It seems the easiest way to find a bargain is to look along the shelves at the price labels (sel) as this is the only place that shows they've been reduced and the reduced items differ from shop to shop.

There is normally a clearance shelf in stores offering at the moment reduced suncare, no7, herbal essence (100 extra points on all herbal essence)

There is a free gift worth £31 when you spend £18 on no7 and it seems that no7 is still 342 but you would need to check that in the store.

They are giving out wrinklies when you spend over £5 so it may be an idea to split your purchases into £5 lots if poss.

if you have a boots card make sure you put it into the ACM - machine in store to receive more vouchers for money off certain products.

Hope that helps

Thanks so much i just ordered the 3 for 2 on the bath&body stuff on the website and got the GWP with that, so waiting for that to arrive, should be here on Tue!
I am going into town tomorrow, and will be Bootsing for the first time! yay I have had vouchers in the past, but never thought of splitting my purchases into 2 lots to get 2 vouchers! yay such a good idea!
Yes i have an AC, never knew i could vouchers from the ACM though, thanks will def use that tomorrow!

BTW Stockton on Tees have Charles Worthington serums, sprays etc reduced on SEL for around 98p to £1.10-works with £2 hair blinkies/wrinklies/whatever! Got two choppy hair pastes for total of 20p yesterday.

Hi

I would definitely take it back and ask for a refund/replacement. (I can HIGHLY recommend the Max Factor Colour Adapt foundation by the way - it goes on beautifully, very smooth and silky and excellent coverage without looking "cakey"). I've had several "issues" with different No7 foundations and I just don't bother with them anymore, I don't think they're very good I had to return some No7 eye make up remover a couple of weeks ago (had a reaction to it) and the SA issued a refund straight away, no questions asked.

:hello: bubbahut

Hope you do not mind me adding something...

littlepinkstars44 It is only the bathing range(peachy coloured items) that are 3 for 2 still and there is a p&p (perfect and perfect) acm (advantage card machine) voucher for £5 off that range at the moment. So if you have a 'blinkie'(£5 off no7 ends sunday pm) you can use it to get a gwp (freebie gift wys £18+) for as little as £8 when you use the 'blinkie' also.

Wrinklies are the new voucher...£2 off selected hair care plus £5 off selected skincare. Cheapest buys are the olay cleansers leaving 89p to pay and the mini john freida serums which leave nothing to pay.

thank you, are wrinklies the ones that the till prints out?
