I think taking 108 items plus, really is taking the p*ss! It only takes one greedy sod to spoil it for the rest of us...... and to make it worse you are gloating about it! :mad:

Hear, hear Liverbird!

It's interesting that Grahamfromoldham is suggesting that he has the moral highground! Whether he has or not, and imho I don't think so, his postings aren't really in the spirit of this thread at all. I like the Boots thread as everyone is really lovely and generally pleased for everyone else. Most people on here are considerate of others, pointing out bargains and hoping that we all benefit, no-one usually seems just to be out to take Boots for a ride, which was the feeling that Graham's post left me with.

Let's all go back to being lovely, don't want this thread to end up as aggressive as some threads on other "bargain" type sites.

I have just spent a couple of hours making up gift packs with my daughters ready for various birthdays, and also for Spring fairs at their schools, most of our goodies have now been used up, the remainder is ready for going home pressies for dds' parties. Still have EI handwash to spare, but only 4 bottles, and I'm pretty sure with four mucky children and two adults this shouldn't be too hard to use up! :rolleyes: Do have TD wipes and a couple of creams left, but dd1 and dd2 have appropriated these, what on earth they'll be like as teenagers I don't know!

I can't think of any one thing that I need in boots except some cotton wool balls

If there's a Wilkinsons by you, they sell huge packs of Cotton wool balls for 30p!

(Don't touch their cotton buds though - very rough.)

As for your gym ball, swap it for 2 x TD handcreams?

I'm feeling so down. I went to Boots today prepared with my list of EI, kids soltan and botanics stuff and guess what happened?- No vouchers in the A/C machine, no aveeda goody bags and no kids No7

Hanley Boots

All card machines out of order - suprise suprise

No Avene offers

I heard a CA saying to a shelf filler who was putting sale stuff from a basket onto the shelf to leave everything in the basket as people were only spending there vouchers and they wouldn't notice the stuff in the basket.

Crafty or what!

Anothe CA said the no7 offer is on for 3 more weeks.

Ha-ha..108 items, you're having a laugh! I got much more than that! There's no limit, but going back to my original point, returning items for money is out of order whereas grabbing stuff when possible is morally acceptable, hence this discussion forum..."grabbit while you can"......."not return it for free money when you can"

Graham, I think an argument with you on morality would go nowhere.

Although this board has the rather selfish title of "Grabbit", the people on the Boots thread, inbetween taking back the odd freebie - go out of their way to share (sometimes quite literally) their bargains with each other and anyone else reading.

If you managed to get at least 108 items, well done - though I was surprised anyone would want or need so much.

Your "haul" though is of a greater cost to Boots than someone returning an item that can be legally resold.

I went in to Hanley Boots as well. No machines working again. What can we do about it? Is it worth complaining by letter do you think? This happens very frequently at the Hanley branch - what's it like around the country?

If you go on Boots.com and do a store locator search, it will tell you what is available at that particular store..............including the AC machines.

Same thing happened to me was trying to get three bodyforms with three vouchers plus a choccy bar - SA said had to put them through seperately, so got 1p knocked off my choccy bar plus SA handed me back 2p as 'change'!!!!
