Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 49 - Post your finds here

Ninetails

Kew

Just a little wander around today, some Model Me, TS and CW still reduced. Wanted to try some coupon combinations but saw 2 least favourite SAs on tills so left it for abit. Came back and fave SA was on.

Found this:



Was 4.40 reduced to 2.20. Couldn't use the useless coupon on it but did use the 2.00 off coupons from the S&G grab bags, so paid 20p each in separate transactions.

Tried the useless coupon on minis but beeped and SA said it wasn't "skincare." Win some lose some.

ACM 50pts for Boots Pure Moisture washing and bathing - the moisturising body wash (400mls) was 97p reduced to 49p (there was also bathing creme at 73p). So gained 1p.

There's a small clearance stand in perfumes with No7 nailpolish and a few No7 creams - including lots of P&P body serum for 12.25.

Had 4 L'oreal anti-fatigue sets clearly reduced to 3.xx and Girard sets and lots of Love Notes.

Tried to buy another S&G admit it you want me set today with voucher, in the same shop i previously bought the same set and used the same voucher,was refusued, and SA was very rude.
Am just of the phone to customer services, they are putting 500 pts on my AC as a "sorry"!

Also, was told S&G sent out the vouchers without Boots knowing about them, so thats why they don't scan. Boots are working with S&G to sort this, and vouchers should scan on tills next week!

Hi Ladies,

Just back from Cardiff, picked up 3 mini s & g in 1st shop, went to pay and lovely sa said ooh they are 3 for 2 so you only need to give me two £2 off vouchers. So had 3 minis for 40p. Whoo ooohhh. No clearance shelf. Friend did pick up hearbal essences that was reduced but didn't realise til we left that wasn't scanned.

Second shop went downstairs and bought meal deal, and picked up another 3 S & G. Took to the till, SA was a bit more on the ball, she stood there and read the whole voucher she said she had to put them through indiviually, i wasn't going to make a fuss as long as she put them through. So another 3 for 60p.

Thanks to the lovely person who posted the link for the s & g. Hope everyone has a lovely valentines day. x

Sorry - have been watching this thread quite closely but couldn't find an answer. When does the No7 Body Beautiful 342 end, please? (It is body beautiful, isn't it? The Sumptuous Bath Soak and the like).

Many thanks!

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure the :A SA I had last time told me that the offer was extended until the 24th Feb. I think it was meant to have finished on or around 27th Jan, but it's still going strong. HTH xxx

OMG well I am just back from trying to get 3 mini S&G with the coupons this morning on my way to work. What a palava, I thought yesterday was bad so I had my receipt ready but that didn't matter.
First of all I was served by the usual SA who tried to put it through. It didn't of course so she spoke to her supervisor (a manager) who after rereading the coupon, quizzing me where I got it and eventually said to over ride it. But the SA couldn't do this on her till so I was taken to a different till and went through the whole process again - only the manager couldn't fathom out how to override the till.
Eventually another manager was summoned (she is quite scary) who overrode the till and put each mini through for 20p! :j
So now I have 2 sets of receipts showing 2 different ways that the till has been over ridden.
Now I just need some courage to try again at lunch time in a different store. (I don't think I could go through this process again!) :rotfl:

The best way that I have had done by an SA was yesterday. She simply put them through individually and then put through the voucher as a brand voucher and input it manually with no need to call anyone over to override it. Very efficient of the SA!! Receipt then clearly shows what you have bought and that you used a brand voucher worth £2.

BTW I've noticed some people telling SA's that they received this voucher from Boots which incorrect - people were actually sent them by Soap and Glory themselves!!!!

Today i got:
Patently oblivious hand foamer 2 types for reduced to 86p
P/O hand sanitiser reduced to 74p
Shower People Gel (there is other stuff) 49p

j/f leave in conditioner was wrongly priced or put in wrong place supposed nbe £4 had it for £2.44p used £2 wrinkly

Managed use £5 wrinkly on mens loreal winkle decrease (ho ho), i used this in another store few days ago n ok, then tried in another and refused. SA put it through as i said i'd done it b4....

I was going take advantage of the buy 2nd for h/p on the loreal but i bought girard set instead n got 500 points bak, also got 2/5 wrinkly n bought more loreal (86p).

As i was getting served I was shocked to see sa pushing a trolley with loreal bags on. I finished up payin (or not payin - whatever) n tried find them, i lost them, asked sa if she'd seen them n she advised me it waz here pushin them n they are a right bargain - so i relieved her off them... Rude not too really - paid wiv points...

Tried get few olay gwp through but the sa was a jobsworth-still cant win em all..

Went then in jjb n got £60 worth tops for £6 as they were put in the sale section by mistake and the banner said everything on this rail under £5

Good day for fri 13th

Payday today for me, so wenting Bootsing on my lunch. Have only just discovered this thread, so although I've had some 'Bootsing' experience before, I'm not a pro just yet...

Picked up:
*Lunch meal deal (Sandwich of the month, smoked chicken with rocket - really yummy! 2 more til the freebie)
*NC Juicy Lips - +50point ACM
*Two NC eyeshadows - 3 for £5 inc Juicy Lips
*No7 pressed powder
*No7 P&P Lip Care - -£5 ACM
*No7 Firming Body Lotion - Reduced to £6.13
*Some King of Shaves serum/oil for the OH - Red. to 98p each
*T&G soft wax - Red. to £1.59 + 100points ACM
*6 S&G minis! 342, then 2 vouchers! So 80p for 6!

Got the GWP for the No7 too. Not sure if I spent over £18, because of the reductions, but the SA was nice (male on photography counter) and didn't question it.

Pleased with the S&G vouchers too. I can't believe he put them through 342 and then used the vouchers - I was ready for a fight if they beeped (from what I've read on here) so really chuffed. Got 2 hand creams, 2 body butters and 2 flakeaways. :T

Total spent: £35.66
Total saved: £18.51
Points received: 550
Got the blue winkie(?) too.

On a separate note, went to Primark to pick up a dress for going out tonight, only one I liked was £13 in size 8... Would fit my thigh... Looked around, found another one hidden behind new stock, reduced to £5 in size 12. Whoop whoop! Unlucky Friday 13th my a***!

I was given a survey and I mentioned in it the kind SA who always chatted and tried all the vouchers etc. When I asked her about it she said she had had a WOW (a mention from a survey) and was given a bag of goodies

aaa.... that's why the other day when i got a survey the SA's face suddenly changed: she put a big smile, helped me to put everything in the bag .... and wrote her name on the survey :eek:

I don't bother to do them every time as I think that from how much bootsing we are doing someone should have won the prize by now.
