Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 7..Read first post for current bargains

sarahg1969

To whoever it was who wanted the ipod, have you thought about buying one from Boots.com - using a code to get extra points/discount - then returning it to a store, getting refund and then buying it back again with your points?

I've just had an MP3 player delivered and asked at my local store first if I could do this. They said it would be fine, so I intend to take it in this weekend.

I have a 6 yr old and if i hear "mommmmmmmmmm can i have" one more time i'll swing for him lol

I have an 8yr old daughter and she just wanted to try on the free cosmetics aaaaaallllll the time "mum cani try that? mum can i try that 1 too, mum can i have a spray of perfume"

Little monster, mind you she's been into boots twice with me this past week and i tipped her off on the skincare vouchers (showed her of mine) and sent her off on a secret mission to locate and collect as many as possible.

She's found me 2 so far so it can't be that bad (half term may last a little longer if her success rate continues)

I, too , hope to make up some prezzies with some of the items I've bought. I've found a few nice 'containers' to arrange the products in: a silver wire basket for the detox stuff and a small wooden dish for the no.7 hilighting lotion (? name), shower puff (4 for £1 at tesco) and martha hill cream (from freebies thread).

I just need some cellophane now ... anyone know where you can get some reasonably priced. I know John lewis used to do rolls of it but haven't been in to JL for a while ????

Lakeland Plastics normally do lovely cellophane bags ( for sweeties and homemade cakes) They would be ideal for gift bags with some tied ribbons - I have used them for this in the past and always well received. They may well do cellophane on a roll too. :happylove

here is a link - they only seem to have ones covered in pictures of sweeties - I have the Jewel Coloured ones at the moment and Pudsey Bear, which would be good if making raffle prizes for school fetes.

They are £2 for 50 sweetie ones and £2.25 for 50 Pudsey ones ( £1 to the appeal)

I've had a problem with the EI voucher.
I dont think it was a till problem,because the voucher never made it as far as the till
The same grumpy SA who had followed me around the store made sure that it was her that served me,and before I could stop her she grabbed a pen and scribbled straight through the barcode of the EI voucher, announcing "this one has to be added manually!"
Of course she only added one lot of points,& when I protested,she pointed out that as she had "watched me make 500 points on lynx click not 10 minutes ago" that I didnt really have any grounds to complain..

so what to her how many points you get? whats she teh points police?! get her name and complain to teh customer services line!

Oh cool - I like doing that kind of stuff anyway and this week it's sanctioned :grinheart

There was another woman looking at the Jemma Kidd make-up in Boots alongside me and we spoke along the lines of 'it's all so nice isn't it' and I was able to tell her to pick up the magazine for another 300 points if she bought anything - she looked so pleased.

I also have a new purpose in life as checker of prices online for my aunt and her friends :grinheart

i love doing that! all january i gave ladies my vouchers when they were looking at TD or DR and now i tell them about stuff in teh AC machine- im gonna end up single-handedly bringing down boots! :grinheart
