    Folks just an update to show you how awkward they are being on me at our local store. Went in and went to purchase
    L'Oreal Men Expert Wrinkle Decrease Skin Renovator 60ml

    as far as I was concerned that was covered by the voucher as Loreal Wrinkle Decrease is stated on the coupon and on Tc's on back went to the counter item was £5.82 told by supervisor the mens version wasn't covered on the offer asked her were the exclusion was on the coupoun of course she couldn't show me and eventually parted with the item at a cost of 82p to me. I go in the following day and they have printed signs now up at the item stating that the mens version is excluded from the offer. Has anyone else had this problem would love someone to try just out of interest as they really have it in for me. Very tempted to shout harrassment and take this further. If I am wrong and it is excluded please let me know because when I am wrong I am wrong and can accept that.TIA

    They had to overide it I was just looking to purchase something as close to the price of the token as possible due to limited budget. There doesn't seem to be anything on the token that excludes mens products or am I being stupid? Please just say if I am.

    If I remember correctly time delay vouchers last year let you buy mens stuff. Is it not sexist to exclude male skincare, it's like saying only women shop in Boots and we all know this isn't so. If it's not in the t & c then I'd get them to phone CS when your there;)
    Starting to save £2 coins again, but it is a struggle:rotfl:Not doing very well keep spending them
  • I went to Boots today armed with some vouchers, checked the ACM first, no £5 p+p for me but never mind, I`ve got 1 Blinkie so will get some No7 Bathing stuff and GWP tomorrow.

    I did get the Loreal Men Expert Anti Fatigue sets, Buy 1 get one 1/2 price, £5.50 for both and got a Wrinklie, my first one.

    Checked the clearence shelf,

    Trevor Sorbie Straightning Balm £1.22
    Charles Worthington Really shiny gloss spray £1.10
    Used £2 haircare voucher
    150 points TS Acm
    32p to pay

    Hubby had been after some moisturiser so he was well chuffed with the Loreal sets:j

    No £5 P & P for me today, it was still showing on Wednesday on my offers and I printed one off. I think they have definately pulled that offer until the blinkies have expired!!

    I bought 2 reduced Gillette items today with points for 272 and got the putting set. The set is really nice!! some one on ebay has 10 to sell!!!!! I think reading through the posts i could have got another putting set, never mind!!!

    No Model Me or reduced Charles Worthington at Cribbs Bristol tonight. A load of expensive tat on the tiny clearance shelf also, all overpriced!!!
  • Plenty of Olay GWP's all around the Max Factor stand :confused: being guarded:p , managed to get one though used my wrinklie with Olay face wash so 86p ( i think) to pay.

    Had SEL for mens l'oreal sets but oos, ~no putter sets either , only reduced model me was styling products and all reduced HE had gone ( had my fair share of that though recently :rolleyes: )

    Couple of bits of reduced Dove shower creams and method handwashes

    When mens time delay first came out ( ladies stuff under a fiver was scarce) we had wrinklies, till would not accept voucher but SA rang CS who confirmed that I could use it as there were no exclusions on the voucher ( there is now I think as only specific TD) but they had to be done manually .'. surely same should apply to the l'oreal wrinkle decrease

    They did when they were still till spits but since the last skincare £5 voucher which I think was about October, they only cover specific bits of the Time Delay range i.e. skin treatments in gold packaging but not daily range in pale blue which we previously got loads of for free because most items were under £5. I doubt the new skincare vouchers will work on mens TD but I haven't tried it lately.

    At Elk Mill the Naked Starflower bath foam and handwash were both reduced from £3.91 to 98p, and the Naked Manuka Honey Hand lotion was also reduced to 98p.

    Two of my locals also had a nakeds rice body scrub in a tube and star flower hand wash down to 98p each as well.

    I bought some to give as a birthday present. Best bit is they will go in to boots and see the rest of the range goes for £3.91 each ;) and also managed to get some badger balm in tangerine for 97p will go with the naked stuff. Makes it look like I spent nearly £20 on them yeah in there dreams :rotfl:

    Also one of the essentials foam bath is down to 25p each it's the blue one.


    Yours
