    Try Boots The Chemist! :)[/QUOTE]


    Dave, obviously I couldn't possibly buy any medication unless it was BOGOF with 6,000,000 extra points added for each one. There is no way I am paying full price for anything without extra points now. I'm a 'Bootsing Convert' ;)

    Just been into York and the SA told me that all Sale items are to be taken off sale tonight. They had some nice FCUK pink bags with a t shirt and various body lotions etc for £4 originally £30. Glass vases with Pot Pourri in for £1.50 and lots of other bargins but be quick it will all go tonight. Forgot all Christmas wrap was 10p and gift cards 5p

  • Got the EI voucher in Boots Viccie Centre but not before I had tried TWO different machines so anyone not getting theirs, try another machine. I also wondered whether there might not be vouchers for it at stores that do not stock it, as not all do so check that first too. Bit worried about getting the 10 bottles as I would never buy the stuff but itworked! Many thanks to OP.

    A word of caution to anyone actually spending any money in Boots(are there any on this site?) the Botanics BOGOF offer is misleading and I got caught out today. It only applies to the face creams and not to the body stuff. I am awaiting a call from Boots as I have had loads of hassle going back and forth today so am hoping they will refund my points but anybody else - please check your receipt.
    There are three ways to get something done; do it yourself, hire someone or forbid your kids to do it.

    First of all have to say you made me laugh when i read your posting bobsa1, i know the feeling as i still have bags sitting in my hallway waiting to go upstairs but theres no room up there anywhere.
    Ems! i dont know if you have more than one AC machine in your store but we have 2 different machines and it always seems to be that the one at the front of the store gives out very little in the way of offers and vouchers. I usually end up going to the back of the store where the other machine is and theres so much more stuff come up on that one. I have no idea why that is, unless its a sales tactic and they are getting you to go to the back of the store and on the way see lots of things you want to buy (or so they hope). If they knew us then they would know we are like missiles and home in on exactly what we want which we know before we even get in there!!!

    Just been to Royal Avenue store and got

    2xColgate toothbrush - £2.49 BOGOF
    2xMediterrian purifying face mask - marked at £1.00 and BOGOF. Scans at 50p and BOGOF.
    10x EI handwash - Marked at £2.49 and BOGOF, scans at £1.66p and BOGOF and used 150 point voucher, which I got on each product.
    2x Flower therapy bath salts, orange flower and calendula - Marked at 75p each and scans at 49p each. Prob was around £3 each.
    2x Eastern body rub - Now 75p each.
    1x Easter body wrap - Now 75p
    2x Eastern body nourishing wrap - now 75p.

    1x Chicken fajta wrap - £2.30
    1x mango smoothie - £1.40
    1x chocolate brownie - £1.10
    All as meal deal for £2.99.

    Spent 19.01 and got 1542 points and receipt says saved £13.60 but would be more as eastern stuff only scans at 75p.
    Got a voucher and then topped up 2 phones with £10 each, in 2 transactions so then I used all 3 chocolate vouchers.

    Was no Christmas goods left and not much Eastern products.
    Found it really hard to spot them as Shelf strips say SAVE in big letters in red and then 75p beside it. Makes it look like it is save 75p not that they are for sale for 75p. Thanks to this thread I found them.

    handwash smells great but not too impressed as 2 bottles of honeysuckle one have leaked in my bag.

    mrsw have you tried buying a couple to see if it goes through at bogof? In my store it is not signed up as bogof but it goes though the tills as that. Maybe worth a try if you havent already.

    ah right, I'll give that a go. Do you think I'll get away with using yesterday's voucher? It won't give me one today!

    HOORAY!

    I just got back from Bootsing, got
    8 EI handwashes (1.66 bogof)
    4 EI Hand and Body Lotion (1.99 bogof)
    2 Nat col Vit a moose (37p bogof)

    spent £11

    Used
    75 points when spend 10
    150 points for EI
    Double points (from mailing)

    Got 1920 points!

    hooray!
    Sorry to be a doom merchant, but it sounds to me like it didn't accept your Double Points voucher:-

    12 EI @ with 150 points voucher = 1800
    Spend £10 voucher = 75
    "Normal" points (4 per £1) = 45
    Total = 1920 points

    Though it sounds like the Double Points voucher is doing different things for different folks. :(

    Looks like the £5.00 vouchers for skincare have made their way onto ebay along with lots of TD, some mimi diva stuff etc. How long before the no 7 gift bags appear

    I don't know why but i never get any of the vouchers for these good offers! I didn't get the pure moisture one that was on a few weeks ago either. i've had my ad card for years, didn't use it that much, so when it stopped working about a year ago didn't bother replacing it till abt 4 months ago, but i think it is still the same a/c . I've now started shopping at boots loads since i began reading this boots thread a couple of months ago, but still i don't seem to get any! The only thing it offered me 2day apart from the usual half price eye test, points for hol insurance etc, was 100points with any Mark hill product, but this is a pretty expensive range which i don't buy anyway.

    Any tips on how i should be using my account so that i'll get all these fab offers?
    Em.

    Apply for a new card in partners/sister/mums name etc....sign up to be contacted by mail..... and tell them your pregnant,(if your young enough! lol) to get the No7 voucher....forgotten how much it is???

    Oh my goodness... I've just done it too!!

    EI Hand Wash I picked up 10 and the Body Lotion I got 2. I was convinced that it wouldn't work, that Boots might have changed the tills or something. I got £15 worth of points.

    I was so muddled that before I went I printed off the offer from earlier in this thread because often I sit here seeing all the offers and by the time I get to Boots my mind goes blank!

    Got the Lindors for 99p too of course and the £5 voucher.

    Forget credit card tarting, This year I've become a total Boots Tart!
