I bought the sanctuary travel set from a small shop yesterday. It was reduced on the sel to £1.72 it was on the 342 so £3.44 but I used £3 moc from Christmas set so 44p.

Well done! Did this go through with no beeps? I know we've had problems with the Sanctuary MOCs before - and I think it says "excludes price reduced lines" but maybe if it's reduced on the SEL so the till thinks it's the normal price, it's ok? I have a £3 voucher and saw the reduced sets last week, not at a Boots I can get back to , unfortunately, but I didn't think to try the two together - you did fantastically for 44p:T

Help!! The blinkin ACM machine has given me even more £5 p&p vouchers. I cant keep up with spending them. Really short of cash this week so thought I would do 3 x £5 shops to gain 3 perkies to go with the 1 I already have. Then I could buy 4 x no7 hand cream.
So spent ages going round and round shop and eventually did 3 x £5 shop. Nice SA helped me split them up so I got my vouchers.
Then went off picked up 3 no7 handcreams, 1 no7 lip care and a S&G mini to go with it. The same SA put first handcream through, all ok, she was very surprised that went through ok and for free. Then did next one, this time she studied voucher and said on back of perkie says only 1 coupon to be used per trans, so she went to check with the manager. When she came back she said I could have the one I had already got but she couldnt put any others through.

So I now still have 3 perkies and 5 p&p ACM vouchers ( think they really do breed in my purse) . I must already have used loads and loads of the p&p, dont understand why machines keep giving them to me! So now need to go to diff Boots to use them up before tomorrow, can't stand the thought of them going to waste when they could be providing free hand cream :rolleyes:.
Wish I had more money this week, then I'd use them on the serum and get gwp for £8*. In fact wish I'd done that now instead of my 3 seperate shops to get vouchers, would have got 250 gwp points as well. Blast, I thought I had it planned so well.

Hi Sarnd

If the hand cream has a seal maybe you could take that back and exchange it for a serum. I've had to take something back before without a receipt so if you've lost it it shouldn't be a problem and you might even be able to get rid of another £5 p&p voucher.

Went to Lakeside store today. On the top level, near the back they had some reduced hair care stuff; managed to get a T&G protein mist for free essentially: reduced to £3.50 from £5.57 (I think) because it had lost it's cap, used £2 off wrinkly and then got 150 extra points from the voucher out of the kiosk!

I visited the branches in Maidstone again today, in an attempt to spend my hairies and wrinklies and use my P&P voucher before they expire


First I went to the Chequers Centre branch, where the ACM very kindly gave me another 3 P&P vouchers

There was little reduced No7 still - mostly tanning type stuff, but I did get the No7 P&P Anti-Ageing Shimmering Lip & Eye Screen for £2.83. I spent a perky and a P&P voucher towards the £18.50 serum in a bottle (the last one - they now only have tubes on the shelf), and got a GWP (518, Plum Beautiful with voucher).

The Mark Hill sprays that I found reduced to 80p and 97p on Saturday were gone, apart from one which had a missing lid, but there was still quite a bit of Model Me stuff reduced to £1.22, £1.47 and £1.71. I twice bought 2 shampoos (Helena and Erin) at £1.22 each, and they went through together fine with a hairy, so only 44p to pay each time. I also got 2 Model Me Jamelia Affinity Serums for £1.71 each, but free with hairies. There were also pastes and glues there, so they were probably the £1.47 items, and the Helena styling spray and movement balm

I also got 2 of the P&P handcreams free (they had stacks of these, in both old and new packaging but same price), using perkies and P&P vouchers, 2 JF hairsprays at 44p each after hairy.

I had the No7 Radiance Revealed Exfoliator and the No7 Gentle Renewing No Grains Exfoliator price-checked, as the SELs were £7.60 and £8.60 - twice the on-line price. They were now £3.80 and £4.30, so each free with perky. The SA said they hadn't heard from Head Office yet to reduce the SEL price, so she was unaware that they were now cheaper. Seems it's worth checking.

I put quite a few separate transactions through, and apologised for that, but the lovely dark haired No7 SA said it was no problem, and that she had been doing that herself as well If I ever get another survey, she will definitely get a mention.

I couldn't see any of the Hydro Quench range, so asked, and she said it had been discontinued, and replaced with the Balanced Results range. Unfortunately the day and night sorbets are now in jars rather than tubes, and I hate getting the stuff under my nails while trying to get it out of the jar




I then went on to the Fremlin Walk branch, where I found one lonely Hydro Quench Day Sorbet The SEL said £15.90, but it went through at £7.95, less the £5 perky, so £2.95 I got that with some No7 Perfect Light Loose Powder, so got another GWP, this time 488, Divine with voucher.

I also got another free P&P handcream, and another free Radiance Revealed Exfoliator. The SA said she didn't think I'd be able to use both vouchers on the handcream, but I smiled and said my friend had done it yesterday and it worked, so she tried and was surprised.

No JF hairsprays left in the Fremlin Walk branch, and only a couple of hair straighteners (with the boxes open) on the 'reduced' shelf - nothing else at all. I think one had a £27.99 label on it.


So lots of bargains today, 664 points more than I started with, a lipstick I didn't already have in one of my GWPs, and a couple more 250 point vouchers for future use

I still have one hairy (which I got from my last transaction, but didn't have time to go and pick something else up) and a couple of wrinklies, since I didn't find anything I wanted to spend them on - the facial wash I liked was sold out - but I left several wrinklies on the Olay shelf for someone to find.

Hiyas, referring back to the discussion yesterday of how long no7 serum lasts, I've had an idea that might help others who are trying to determine how much is enough (or too much) to stock up when there's a sale.

A few weeks ago I started putting a dated sticker on certain things when I start a new bottle, and I'm going to do that with my no7 serum (though that won't help me decide if I need more while the sale is on now, lol). I've put it on my facial cleanser and handwash so far (and will do the serum), more.

I'm using small, brightly coloured stickers from an office supply store. I write the date on it and stick it to the bottle.

Off topic - I use this sort of system with my dishwasher tablets, a bag of 60 last so long so i put a label on saying what date I opened it so I've got an idea when I'll run out. I used to be buying some just in case when they were on offer and ended up with loads.

On topic - my local today had the p&p serum in tubes and bottles - both full price though. Might try another store tomorrow.
