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

:question: Do any of you out there have problems with getting your total spend points credited to your card.
I am only asking as the two occasions that I have been in Boots this week I have handed over the 75 points for a £10 spend voucher and on both occasions they have not been added but I have only just realised. Should I go back to the store and ask them to add them ??

Also just wanted to mentioned some good points offers.

Tikclyx (sorry about the spelling!) chesty cough - £2.29 with 200 points back
Kool 'n' Soothe - £2.99 with 200 points back
Halls Childrens throat pastilles £2.49 with 200 points back


There were lots more in the same line around the store so this could build up your points - none work out as a freebie but good value all the same.

Also managed to get some reduced TS in Broadmead Bristol - thanks to the picture of old and new!

Back at work after maternity so now can get to Boots at least 3 times a week! My partner has reminded me that I have not just returned to work to fund my Boots habit! LOL

Hi all,

Went into boots today as I read the OP which stated that EI products were BOGOF with a 150pts per purchase from the ACP. Unfortunately the ACP is only allowing you to print off 1 coupon for this - so obviously they have cottoned on (I never tried retreiving my card and trying again tho' - that may work) If not we'll just need to go in over a number of days.

I stuck up for you and said you should be Dave (easier to remember your name that way lol!). If it's any consolation, Dave was the best-looking member of the team, so you can be the newsroom pin-up :heartpuls

Frogling - I had absolutely no idea you'd met me in person before!

Claire,

You only need 1 coupon to get the 150 points on each EI product - may not now be working in all stores though, but well worth the try!!

can anyone be really kind and tell me the best deal to get when using the £5 off skincare voucher. I always feel so guilty wandering round for ages in Boots trying to find the best deals ! If I could go straight to the product I'd feel a lot happier !!

Hi Claire - I think it's fair to say that the EI loophole is now dead and buried, but at a 1/3 off, BOGOF and with 150 points back, it's still a great deal if you only buy 2.

Hi does anyone know whether the Hard Candy make up is still buy 2 save £5?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure Jaffa - there was a notice up for those brands up in our branch which had an end date of 31/1/06! But the offer was still working after that at other stores on the reduced HC.

Went in today and the sign had gone - I asked the nearest assistant if it had ended and she said she thought it had (though I tend to take this as opinion rather than gospel.)

If anyone comes across any reduced brands that were in the offer and tests it I'd love to know too

ps If we were filling in one of those 'which DTDDonkey staff member are you?' polls I'm pretty sure I'd be a George...
pps The Time Delay handcream has been restocked in Cheltenham.

Two popular ones:-

Olay Total Effects Face Wash @ £4.99
Time Delay Hand cream @ £5.00 (if you can find any)

Also some stores have reduced Avene/Aderma & Daniele Ryman items which work out virtually free with the voucher.

Thanks, will go back tomorrow feeling much more confident !
