Poundland often have packs of about 16 large sheets, usually with wrapping paper rather than crafty/colouring bits.

Edit: oops, have just read the rest of thread, and you've already been told this - twice

Oh dear Dave! If it helps it doesn't look like anyone got any vouchers today anyway - I wanted to get some Lynx and TS but none of the machines I tried was giving out anything (was offered the voucher the other day). Might be a good time to apply for a 2nd card - just in case this ever happens again - Also might be worth asking family & friends if they have an old one lurking about - going to try this myself

Thanks for that! I've stopped wailing now.

Without wishing to sound terribly selfish, it's good to know I probably wouldn't have had any decent vouchers today (although I'm sorry everyone seemed to miss out today).

May try and borrow my brother's card, but he lives right over the other side of the city. Have just ordered a card for mum, so will eventually have two cards, if she'll let me have it of course!

I've tried to convince myself that I have enough handwash, face wash, shower gel and TD stuff to last me the rest of the year, but this little voice in my head is whispering "Trevor Sorbie - 75% off, Free skincare, 99p chocs"...

(Also wanted to really take advantage of TS so could build up enough points to get meself a reduced Xmas EDT/Deostick giftset.)

I have scrolled through all the posts and just had to tell you about my bargain find on kids sun tan lotion today (We are off to Egypt next week - hope i can last without MSE and dont miss a fantastic bargain). Boots have a Soltan Kids sun protection pack for kids with 2 bottles of sun care stuff, one is a longer last sun lotion and the other is a top coat spray for kids. They were 2.74 a pack and the bottles are both 200mls. Added to that they were BOGOF!! I could not believe my luck as I am sure they should have been £12.74. I am off to another branch of boots tomorrow to see if this offer is on there as I got the last two at this boots.

Went to Boots today and got 2 of the Soltan Kids sun protection packs thinking they were a bargain at £2.49 each .... completely forgot that they were bogof..... when the SA asked for £8.96 I panicked thinking I can't believe I got my sums so wrong and wouldn't get to the magical £10 amount... He then told me the sun tans were bogof !!!!.... so got another couple and got my skin voucher and choccy one all for £11.44. Have four of these packs now.... mmmmmm think this might be a bit ott but for the price of one good bottle of kids suntan now have 8:j !!!!

Checked Acm no vouchers for TS, FCUK or any men's toiletries (apart from Mark Hill.... yukkkkk) ..... and had OH coming over to Boots to choose some toiletries :eek: and he hates shopping.... We had been planning to do this yesterday.... oh well still a very good deal with the £4 off. I also got a fantastic Ted Baker gift bag, with two toiltetries and an aftershave for £10.99...... the Sa was sure it would not take the £4 off this time from the £14.99, but it did.... loved being right! So now have 4 skincare vouchers to spend and 4 choccy ones (oh dear)

Hi I went to Boots today and was told that the Avene bag could only be purchased if you brought an Avene item, I said no my sister had already brought some items (botanics) and the till had accepted the transaction, anyway she tried it and it went through the till but the SA wandered off and must have got chatting to someone and came back and just got awkward and asked me to show her the sign, I thought forget this I really don't want to stand here arguing with her as to be fair I really didn't need the bag and just walked away. Bad day!

Plus found the children's Soltan but it's only factor 15 isn't that too low for children or is everyone planning to use it for themselves.

Come on everyone cheer me up, I've had a bad Boots experience today and I feel really down and might even consider......giving this Boots addiction up now......

Maybe just a few days off to build up your strength?

The Avene bag is another freebie. Its supposed to go through the tills as a freebie with certain skincare items......but its going through free with anything! I got 5 free today .....I bought Soltan sets ...got two with that. I then used three skincare vouchers on Olay face wash and wipes and got another 3 with that! Make sure you dont get a jobsworth SA who might question it. Luckily its the weekend with all the part time staff on who are not au fait with all the offers. Good luck!
