I've been buying clearance products with mine, but you may need to really look around the stores you visit, as sometimes they are on the normal shelves with reduced SELs, and sometimes they are on clearance stands dotted around the store.
Off the top of my head, you may find Nivea Dnage , Olay regenerist, Dr Nick, and ROC skincare on clearance, and so free or pennies with a voucher. There are also Trevor Sorbie, John Frieda, Toni & Guy, Toni & Guy model me, Lee Stafford, Charles Worthington etc products on clearance, down to prices along the lines of £1.xx each, and so you could get 2 of those with one voucher.
Don't forget to check you ACM too, as you may find Toni & Guy and Trevor Sorbie points vouchers in there, which can be used with the clearance price items and your £2 haircare voucher.

HTH,

Hi taggiesgirl

You can get a few different Olay facial washes and cleansers with the wrinklie with under £1 to pay. Does your local Boots have red SEL's that show which products you can spend your wrinklies on? Look out for the least expensive ones, if there's no stock on the shelf then it's always worth asking an SA to check the storeroom as they tend to get sold quickly.

Also, at the moment there are vouchers in the ACM for 150 points WYB Trevor Sorbie, Umberto Giannini or Toni&Guy haircare products. You can use these in conjunction with the £2 haircare vouchers (remember to hand over the points voucher first) so in Boots logic a nice £5 styling product could only be costing you £1.50 (£2 off plus £1.50 worth of points added to your card)

Keep your eyes peeled for reduced hairbrushes and accessories, toiletry bags etc. throughout the year and by Christmas 2009 I promise you will have the things you need to make up some fab hair and skincare gifts for virtually no spend, plus lots of points on your card. There's always some sort of voucher and points promotion running to get products at reasonable prices.

Nulon (from SuperD**g) do a product that's remarkably similar to No.7 hand saviour; it's called Hand Treatment Scrub and it's in a tube. I paid 65p when it was on offer! Try massaging in some sweet almond oil (about 80p'ish from the chemist) after you use the scrub. Worked a treat for me. HTH

Sounds great - I love the hand saviour but think it's a silly price - I will have to have a look in Sprdg when I can finally get out to the shops through the snow!

Forgive me Bootsers for I have sinned. _pale_ Just returned from Mr S, who is offering L'Oreal wipes, all types, usually £3.62, but on special .... 2 for £4!!

Just a little tip for Newcastle bootsers, the main Eldon Square branch still has a stand with the old L'oreal Derma Genesis GWP with a sign saying free with a 5.00 spend on any skincare (not just L'oreal). It's in amongst the skincare and has been around for ages, I guess they must've had loads as I've been getting them for a while now. Its a nice little bag with 15ml tubes of day and night cream, cleanser & a hairband. Anyway just to confirm that the till recognises it when you're using the latest voucher. Yesterday I got it with ROC wipes when using the winkie/wrinklie, so only 1.49 to pay. HTH.
