I went a-bootsing again today to try my luck with the S&G minis after some great advice from fellow Bootsers on here.

I picked up 6 minis from the S&G range and took them to the till. They went through as 342 so had a total of 8.80 to pay...produced the vouchers which to no surprise didnt scan, so the very friendly SA got her supervisor. Supervisor looked like a firm cookie (but turned out to be very nice) and she said the usual 'wont work on minis, on 342 or these are copied vouchers' i politely explained that it should work as it didnt exclude minis etc...

The young SA on the till next door kept chipping in saying, you cant use them in the same transaction and various other things...but i just politely replied saying if that is the case it should be stated on the voucher.

The first supervisor said she didnt understand and thought it was too a good deal to be true so had to check with her supervisor, so two supervisors and one SA all looking at my collection of 4 vouchers studying the small print.....

The 2nd supervisor was very nice and she said perhaps it was due to being in the same transaction...but i said it should work as a friend got them yesterday in the same transaction but the SA had to manually overide the coupons.

She said yes that is fine then as it didnt say on the voucher they would honour it this time. She said it prob wasnt scanning as it was a printed voucher and the scanner requires a high resolution barcode to work which most printers cant do so not to worry. And she apologised for the wait which was really nice of her.

She manually deducted the £8 and i had a total of 0.80p to pay...bargain. Plus i received 32pts.

To top it off, the SA said you are due a special voucher and gave me another wrinkly!! Very pleased.

I now have to make another trip to spend my new wrinkly lol

well done:) I can't get a single SA to take my vouchers:( I'm not giving up though. I will keep trying until I succeed:D

when you shop in tesco, you can use vouchers to get money off your shopping without actually buying the product on the voucher. HTH:D

Bought 2 eye pencils for 2.83 each and got a Rimmel palette GWP (eyeshadows, lippies and blusher). Lots above the display units.

Note to self: must look upwards as well for bargains.

Had 1 set of the Lee Stafford dryer/straightener for 17.99 and Girard gift sets.

Nothing else interesting.

I'm very happy to report, after all the good advice posted on this thread, that I got my first 2 mini S&Gs today at 20p each .

I didnt want to push it as the voucher does say one coupon per transaction, and the SA was lovely. She had a quick look at the coupon when it beeped, then typed in the code - it shows on my receipt as "brand coupon"

So I now have a receipt to show at any other store I try to use the coupons in, and some S&G hand food - and OMG how gorgeous does that stuff smell? I think I may need to print off some more coupons!
