Dont think this offer has been mentioned:

Went to Boots yesterday and bought Heinz truly fruits which are on offer at 75p down from 79p and used the voucher from the ACM for 30 extra points, looked at my receipt last night and it took 30p off each jar AND gave me 30 bonus points for each, making them just 16p a jar!! Wish I had noticed at the time as I would have got loads more! Not sure if one voucher gives you 30 points on each or if you need 1 voucher for each one purchased as I only bought 3 (gutted) and handed over several vouchers so not sure if she just scanned one or 3 as I was just intersted in checking that the total points was the right amount. Hope to try it tomorrow but it sounds like the ACM are pants at the moment.
.

I did put it on the last thread, but think I forgot to PM Liverbird and tell her about it for the first post! Well done for letting everyone know. The pots are marked as "special offer 46p" in my local Boots, so perhaps they just haven't put the signs up everywhere (surprise, surprise!), but I agree, 16p must be less or at least only the same as you could make it for.

Edit: also got another voucher for money off or points on the mums own ingredients jars - pic on AC machine showed double packs, but it definitely worked on the single jars. Sorry can't remember exact details, as only bought them cos my baby nephew was coming to stay last weekend.

i was wonderin if someone could clear thsi up for me, im thinking of getting some bodyform for my mum and sis (dont use em myself- cant stand it!)

if i buy ten to start with with £1 coupons on top, next time i can take these to boots, get another 10, add summing thats dead cheap to make it a tenner like a 29p choccie or summing, my choccies will become 19p, i will get 40 points plus can use a 75 point with a £10 spend coupon, so ill spend 19p, get 10 bodyform, 115 points and a £5 skin care voucher

before i do this is this correct?!

All this Bootsing is getting too much, I'm beginning to think of trying this, and I don't even use these! Feel a bit like the people earlier in the post trying to resist the no 7 freebie bag! (Oh, got one with my parcel from Boots.com and before I could get to it dd2 vanished with it - so dd1 and now dd2 have them, but not me! - though they were both gracious enough to give me the vouchers!).

Anyway, car still playing up, don't need or even want them, dds are all too young for them, so will not be off anytime soon to get any! Will, however, be telling everyone about them - just in case they need them! :rotfl:

That was all I got today as have flu and feeling poorly (still had to get a fix though)

I'm starting to regret converting to the Mooncup (well, not really -- see THIS thread) and not needing any Bodyform... it is a really good deal! I feel so left out!

Went for an Avene bag hunt today, but haven't seen them. Did see lots of other heavily reduced Avene/Aderma stuff, and got myself an eye cream (down from £8.50, free with the £5 voucher). The SA girl started arguing that I couldn't have it with the voucher as it wasn't listed on the voucher... Yeah, not on the front but it is listed on the back, I had to educate her! :rolleyes:

I love it when I know more about Boots than their staff sometimes! :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Sure this will work. I did something similar today. Bought six packs of Bodyform and made it up to £10 spend with a few other bits and pieces that a wanted. Used six vouchers from packs that I had actually paid for, so had £4.62 to pay. Earned points and given skincare/choc voucher. Just checked receipt and is stated that voucher was earnt, so can't see any problem with this.

I tried that ACM in my local Boots today. Put card in. When main menu came up pressed 'view all offers'. Message came up saying, 'this option is not available today'. Horrified, no offers at all. Anyone else had this happen?

Tried my card in 2 different stores today (3 machines) and there was offers but absolutely awful. Think there was 3 offers and that was it.

I just thought i would give my opinion,not that its worth really much, he he.

Regarding the bodyform, if you buy these and use your card surely Boots will know something is going on. Dont all the purchases you buy show up somewhere, on some computer at Boots ( maybe head office). Take the guy who bought all the bottles of EI. Wont they query why he bought so many bottles and got so many points. Could they stop him from using there card. Its just a thought, maybe im totally wrong.

When i started reading this thread a few months ago i thought it was pretty fun, finding the bargins and getting extra points.
However, i must admit i do find taking items back to the store that you got for free anyway is just a little greedy.

As for the the person who showed how much bodyform they got for free, why would someone need that much!!! I really do think people are getting so greedy and i really do think that people will be getting caught out soon. Boots are not that daft, they will have records somewhere of the advantage card holders.

I just needed to have my little say, thanks to everyone who posts the offers on here because like i said i do get a buzz when i get extra points and a bargin but dont you think its got a bit 2 much. Greed is an evil thing.

Thanks LilacLillie,I've just looked where my local ones are. I went to Horncastle today ( No machine)

They had a Rimmel lipstick in the reduced section for £2.49 it was the same Rimmel lipstick as the one I purchased in Louth Boots on Wednesday for 50p.
