Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 50 - Post your finds here

twinkle-star

Hi everyone, I haven't been on here for aaaaages and have spent the last few days catching up from halfway through the last thread!! :eek: Hope everyone's well.

Went to Boots (Leicester CC) today and got two p&p hand creams for free with 250 points back each time (new pinkie, £5 acm and 250p from gwp).

Also got T&G, Umberto Giannini and TS minis for £1.5x each with 150 points back on each (acm voucher) as well as Gillette Series Shaving Gel for about £1.90 with 150 points back from the acm.

Picked up the last NC cupcake (soz Leicester Bootsers) for 61p with 100 points back (acm). But there were also a few NC bath pillows reduced too which I didn't need (I think they were about £2.50 each but I'm probably wrong!).

Lots of clearance No7 dotted around the store but when I took one to the ss till, I scanned it and the till told me to put it aside until the end. I think this was because it had a clearance sticker on rather than a reduced sel. Well as there was no-one manning the till at that point I just left it as I'd been in there for about an hour and didn't think I'd be able to use the new pinkie on it.

On one of my shops I used a whopping 9 coupons on the ss tills with no problems (apart from heart palpitations!) :eek: The lady manning the tills at that point was laughing when I finished and she gave me a wrinklie and pinklie, I just grinned and said 'phew, I've finished!').

One of my acm vouchers was 'Save £2.50 wyb any product from the No7 self tanning range' so I'll have to work out what to spend that on with my pinky/purpley of course!

it says "colour cosmetics" but have people been able to spend it on other no7 stuff, e.g moisturizers, nail filers etc?

Thanks for this. Was tidying up brag book and wondering whether the T&G acm coupons worked on minis and now I know! And v cross with self that I didn't think to use them with Model Me!

Had a profitable Bootsing day today, I think! Tried to spend as less as poss (again!) with the voucher combo!

Shop 1
No7 Facial Trim @ £5.87 (till sees @ full price)
No7 P&P Hand Cream @ £10
No7 GWP @ 0.00
UG Mini @ £1.56

Total £17.43

Used
£5 P&P ACM voucher
£5 Perkie
250pts from GWP
250pts GWP Xmas
150 UG pts

So total spend £7.43 + 666pts (inc 16 'spend' pts) thus in reality pd 77p 4 the above...+ earned a perkie and a blinkie!


2nd shop as above but somehow the SS was not recognizing the UG mini so the SA came to hover around and would not understand when I explained the issue seemed 2b the UG mini; she told me she'd have to cancel the transaction:eek: and restart!:eek: And so she did!!!! She noticed the 1/2 price on the No7 electricals and told me my GWP wouldn't go thru so I, innocently, asked her to try and surprise, surprise:rotfl: it went thru! As she went to scan the UG the till still kept on having the msg 'unrecognised item' and after the SA tried different things she let me put thru my coupons and was I not glad she let all my vouchers thru!:T Was ever so nervous, lol! Here I noticed the UG mini had never scanned thus the pts had not gone thru still no loss! Thus my 2nd shop was:

No7 Facial Trim @ £5.87 (till sees @ full price)
No7 P&P Hand Cream @ £10
No7 GWP @ 0.00

Total £15.87

Used
£5 P&P ACM voucher
£5 Perkie
250pts from GWP
250pts GWP Xmas

So total spend £5.87 + 516pts (inc 16 'spend' pts) thus in reality pd 71p 4 the above... + earned a perkie and a blinkie!

Shop 3 & 4
No7 Sumptous Bath Soak @ £7.80
UG Mini @ £1.56
Tweezer 75p

Total £10.11

Used
£5 Perkie
250pts from GWP
250pts GWP Xmas
100pts ACM
150pts UG

So total spend £5.11+ 750pts thus Mr B pd me £2.39 to take away the above... + earned a perkie and a blinkie!

Shop 5 & 6
No7 Pore Refine Serum @ £2.82 (clearence)
No7 Body Polish @ £2.26 (clearence)

Total £5.08

Used
£5 Perkie thus pd 8p;

Shop 7
S&G minis x 6
(went to SS and vouchers started beeping... SA initially advised cannot use coz of minis; pointed to T&C & she went off to check with supervisor; came back advised I'd have to go to a till so she could put thru the coupons however I could only use 1 voucher as per T&C; I asked her 2 separate the transactions... she agreed and the items went thru @ 20p each!)

Total for 6 separate transactions £1.20 but as the vouchers went thru as manufacturers coupons I got 48pts for the above...;)

All in all quite profitble as I spent £25.52 and gained 2730pts so I was pd £1.78 to take the goods away?

O/T - hope you don't mind me putting this on. But there is curretly a petition on the downing street website which I am sure you will all think is worthwhile. It is to get the Smear test age reduced back down to 16 -18 from the current 25 as a lot of people are having them refused by the GP due to being too young. Please sign it to help.
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/smeartests/
Sorry if people get offended or take issue to this, but thought most of this forums members would be understanding about it due to other healt issues that some members do have.
Thanks

ok so how long are these spend £25 and get £5 off vouchers lasting for instore?

They expire 6 March. Does anyone know, if you get products to the value of £25, can you then use this voucher with wrinklie and hairy and perky and acm P&P voucher, or do you actually have to hand over £20 in cash?
