    You should see me in Boots!!. I have 2 separate baskets when looking for offers.

    Yeah I have 2 baskets also but feel daft walking round with 2 so usually 'hide' one somewhere inconspicuous and keep flitting back to it with more stuff. Unfortunately, haven't got your brain power to mentally tally up as i go along so spend ages going through them both to sort out the best deals.By the time I'm finished my brain hurts!!!!!!!!

    My brain always hurts in boots these days - I spend most of the points I build up on headache tablets!!!

    Went to Darlington branch today, checked machine and got an EI voucher. Wandered around to find that they didn't stock the handwash and the other items in the range weren't on BOGOF - looks like I wasted my time & voucher. :(
    Did you get them checked at a till, as a lot of stores aren't advertising the bogof? Also several people have found that if they hang onto the voucher it works the next day- so don't give up.

    Had a shampoo voucher last week and it wouldn't go through - SA checked it and it should have gone through okay, she also checked that it had the correct date on it, so I guess that quite often AC vouchers are handed in with the wrong date on them, and I assume people wouldn't do this if they didn't work - will have to try on a small purchase!

    Cheesed off with Boots today, went especially for the EI Handwash offer, got 4 of them went to pay, voucher wouldn't scan so Supervisor had to come over and manually add the points and guess what ?, when expecting 600 points as what had heard on here 150*4 products only got 150, so 4 handwashes that i didn't want or need and only 150 points, GUTTED. Things don't work too well for me lately with these B0Ots Offers.

    So Just be ware people that this could happen to you !

    Just to re confirm Trevor Sorbie voucher is definately working like EI, you get 100 points per item, even when you only hand in one voucher. bought 4 deoderants at £2.99, had £4 dedeucted at till due to spend £10 save £4, so it came to £7.96, the I received 400.

    Great idea Maisie..... just wondered if you had tried this yourself yet as I always thought you had to hand over £10 in" real" money or nearest to it like a Boots gift voucher to get the free skincare choccy voucher?.....:confused: ..... I have 6 bodyform vouchers and would like to try this in Boots if it def works. Anytime I have used the Bodyform vouchers I just end up paying either nothing or just a few pence so haven't handed over any real money iyswim

    Brilliant idea !! Have loads of bodyform vouchers to use so I might have a go at this one.

    This is what I'm thinking for those of you who dont have the £1 voucher already... Just take them off at the till and get them scanned (might be best to ask an SA first, You know some of them can be proper so-n-so's :rolleyes: )

    Use one less voucher than the number of pack you buy though as they are only 99p and the till does take off £1 so it gives you a penny per voucher towards anything else you buy ;) Don;t forget to use adcard and extra points vouchers (I would think this would work since they are giving you the £5 skin/choc voucher)

    Free ST's, Free Skincare, Free Points & cheap choccies - RESULT! :T

    If you get 11 of the bodyform (with vouchers) spending just over £10.(as they're 99p each).
    You will get the free skincare voucher and choccies voucher.

    You can use the £1 vouchers for future purchases of Bodyform or try them in Tesco with your shopping.

    Yay!! :j

    My new card arrived this morning after only 9 days (they said 21) so that was a nice surprise in the post! Obviously I had to go to boots.....

    Got EI voucher and 8 handwashes @ £1.66 BOGOF and 1200 points :j
    Also got the Mens skincare offer £4 off £10 with a 100 point voucher for each range so 400 extra points there. Bought No7 Nail Varnish and Firm Your Body Tan Maintainer ( :rotfl: ) on BOGOF to get No7 gift set with 100 points for buying Nail Polish and 250 points for Illuminating Powder (I think it was that, but I didn't buy it). Not forgetting the free TD handcream and 99p choccies with the current vouchers!

    Oh and another voucher for next time....
