    At last I find some bargains in Reading. This was my first trip out after back surgery 3 weeks ago, so a brief foray into town - and I'm too tired to write down the exacts amounts I spent
    So
    Shop1 Oracle
    L'oreal Men Expert Anti Fatigue Kits (wooooohoooo finally found some!!!:D:D) didn't have any price on the shelf so asked SA nearby to scan it for me - and she came back surprised that it was £3.67(?) :o grabbed another one in case of BOGYHP and lo it scanned through and I paid £5.50 :cool: There were still 4ish bags left on the shelf.

    Also used wrinkles to stock up on Cahrles Worthing hair stuff, by this point the store was soooo busy I was beginning to lose the will to live :rotfl:

    Shop 2 - Broad St
    Looked round the clearance section and found No7 Really Renewing Body Polish at £2.26 :D got two of these + some E45 for DS2 to gain wrinklie :o
    There were about 20 of these left on the shelf if any other reading bootsters want them.

    phew - need a lie down now :rotfl:

    Just done the same with the p&p body serum......at the suggestion of the No7 SA!!!!!!!!!
  • Hi all :) Bought the usual bits and bobs today but was really on a mission to get rid of the wrinklies-they really are breeding in my purse! Thanks to whoever suggested getting the JF serum at under £2-got 3 of these as given up on any reduced Model Me etc near me.

    Anyway on to the clearance, EK had lots of sure deodorant, mens facewash etc for 45p, No7 Face Protector (sun thing, something about preventing brown spots!) for 51p, Mens Walking Umberellas (Long black with a brown wooden handle) which had an original price tag on of £15 and were stickered at £1 and ROC Body Perfector Anti-Cellulite Boxes which were on clearance at £3-so FREE with wrinklie. hth someone.

    edit-these were all on the end of an aisle shelf facing the main tills to save anyone interested hunting around!

    Maybe that should be the start of a new thread :D
  • My first post on here was 14th January, after I'd come back loaded with bargains from the 75% off sale. I'd been lurking for a while but so pleased with all my purchases that I registered and started to post so that I could thank you all for the hints and tips - and that was just the start of it. I now count myself as a fully fledged bootser and have made some great friends along the way.

    Today I was in Leicester - made a specific trip as I wanted to "buy" a new digital camera with my points. Yes in just one month, from an almost standing start, I have accumulated enough points to buy a camera, memory card and case:j (and still a bit left over0

    Anyway, first port of call ACM where I wombled a £5 P&P voucher that someone had kindly left in the machine for me! Still no P&P offers for me, nor a total spend one (do you only get one of these a week or something?) Anyway, started to wander round and found a putting set so chuffed about that as Dad is a golfer, finally picked up some toothpaste and some S&G minis and then wandered upstairs to photo department to look at cameras.

    SA was absolutely fab, nothing was too much trouble for her and she couldn't believe I had so many points to be able to get everything "free". The deal was done on the camera and accessories and before she went to get the box out of the back I "innocently" asked if I could pay for the rest of my shopping here and when she said yes I said I just need to pop downstairs as I've forgotten something - no problem she said I'll get the camera ready for you. Nipped downstairs pretty sharpish and picked up another 3 S&G minis

    Back upstairs camera, card and case all were packed in a lovely gift bag - I'll give you this she said! Camera should have been £195.82 and was now £75.82 (checked last night and it was £78.82 on dot.com - so even better!). Paid in points for the whole bagful of camera stuff and then started on the basket.

    I explained that the S&G voucher didn't seem to work very well but that I'd used it earlier in the week in Southampton and the SA had put it through as a manufacturers coupon so she said no problem and put them all through manually:j. We were chatting nicely all the while, she still couldn't get over how many points I'd got - then she gave me a £5 off £25 spend voucher. Told her I was going downstairs then to No 7 to look at the P&P body serum as I'd noticed it was half price. My "friend" had wondered if the till would let us have a GWP even though the item was now half price - she giggled and said go and see the girls down there - they're lovely and ask them to help. Oh no I said, I'd be terrified to ask them that - can't you come with me and try? More giggles, oh, OK then. So downstairs we went. I was telling her all the time how helpful she had been, pity I'd not got a survey, and how I couldn't believe I'd got a personal shopper in Boots! Anyway we get to the No 7 counter and hey presto GWP went through fine, Body Serum £12.25, gave her the £5 P&P voucher previously wombled and 250 points voucher from previous GWP. She was as pleased as I was!

    Then, and I know this was really cheeky, I asked her if she could do it all again. I had another £5 P&P voucher in my purse from one of the bootsers here and another 250 points voucher. She was more than happy - and I got a survey so promised her I would complete it. So all in all a very enjoyable and profitable day - and still got a load of points left!

    Came home and unpacked the camera bag and found another £5 off £25 spend voucher and 3 sets of vouchers for free digital prints cos I bought a camera. Opened up the memory card and found another voucher for free digital prints. All digital print vouchers are valid for 6 months and DD is getting married 4th May so these will really come in handy.

    Off for some pampering now before a Valentines Ball tonight

    Oh, and my Roc 12-week challenge kit that I bought on clearance with a wrinklie last week, is getting chucked out - as my skin has erupted with it. Roc is just not for me :rolleyes: .

    Snipped!

    I would send an email to RoC telling them that you have had a reaction to the product. No need to say how much you paid. It's good for them to have feedback. They may send you a voucher for another product to try.

    Just bought the P&P body serum 1/2 price £12.25 picked up a GWP to see if it would go through.
    gave SA 250 points voucher from previous gwp then the £5 off P&P ACM voucher
    Total to pay £7.25 and 250 points back so £4.75 in boots logic
    Hope you all find this in your stores.

    I did this too very happy.

    Birthday wishes for Agatha, hope your having a lovely day.

    Sophie x

    Also wanted to ask if anyone else has used the Olay Thermal Face Wash thingy, I used last night now my face is very sore and red. Has anyone else had problems?
