  • Just a small shop today

    No7 Radiance Cream £3.80 used 250 points voucher from GWP
    Olay Facial Wash £5.86 used wrinklie (Thanks Balletshoes) paid 86p

    Hope everyone is ok and not too cold

    Sophie

    Sophie Rabbit was the cream reduced/on clearence? And did the till beep for the 250pts from the GWP? My pts vouchers, ending 3176 (I think) always beep and these r not scanned automatically (apart from when I purchased the P&P serum @ £8.60). So, it's pot luck, if the SA will add the pts manually, lol! TIA

    They had lots and lots of the Gillette putting sets. Unfortunately, I've had really bad luck with these. The first time I tried to get one, the dragon SA wouldn't let me as she said that I needed two things. The next time, I tried to get it through the SS tills with two reduced Gillette shaving gel things (down to 49p each), but the till beeped, and a SA came over and told me that I had to spend over ten pounds. Had to act dumb yet again and left it. Looks like a very nice set, but thinking about it again, probably would not be practical for ma as I have a three year old toddler, who is bound to knock the very hard ball into the TV, or patio door! Would make some bloke a very nice Valentines present though (does that make me sound cheap!) Good luck to others trying to get it in there. Would definitely go to the SS tills. maybe go for one full priced shaving foam, to avoid the beeps.

    The Gillette putting sets seem to be sold by SA's depending on how they feel on the day - I got 2 yesterday, at a manned till. The SA said I had to buy 2 mens Gillette items per putting set, so I bought 4 reduced cans of shave gel, and the putting sets went through fine. I paid less than £4 total for the shave gel, so the "spend £10" spiel didn't apply there.
