Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 50 - Post your finds here

Mum2Hannah

I have found extremely difficult to get rid of the blinkies/hairies when there's not been n e clearence items available to use them on...:( On my way to my mum's stopped @ a Boots near the motorway to check if they had any Olay facewash/Time Delay Moisturisers so I could possibly use my wrinklies on... no Olay's 2b found nor the Olay GWPs (yet this store had loads of them...); found 3 * TD Moisturiser and was happy; also took 1 No7 Sumptuous Bath Soak and 1 UG mini and made my way to the SS tills... here I put thru the following:

Shop 1

No7 Sumptuous Bath Soak @ £7.80; TD Moisturiser @ £5.86; UG Mini @ £1.56 Total £15.22 - 10% over 60 disc - Perkie - Blinkie *** Total 2 pay £3.85 with 500pts back! (Used No7 250pts GWP; 100pts ACM; 150pts UG);

*** was unable to use the No7 250pts GWP Xmas as the till kept not accepting it and the SA had to come 4 assistance... the 3rd time I tried after all my other vouchers minus the perkie had gone thru the till prompted SA assistance once again... I showed her my pts voucher and coz of my previous once experience with her I very well knew she'd not b able to assist me whilst my transaction was still on screen & would call another member who could, possibly, turn out 2b a dragon...:eek: so I told her it was no problem if I could not use the voucher to which she said 'R u sure?'... Oh boy, was I sure as on that receipt I'd already had 500pts!!!:eek: and I didn't want n e staff looking into it...:o what I also 4got to take into acct was I had just activated MIL's over 60 voucher on the card so had another 10% off so was completely off track to get the spend to £5 or over 2 earn another perkie...:o however, the SA put the perkie/wrinklie/hairy in my bag though my spend was way below...:D but wasn't gonna complain, lol!!!

Shop 2 & 3

TD Moisturiser @ £5.86 - 10% disc - wrinklie to pay 27p!!!

Total spent £4.39 with 500pts back! Again, didn't feel guilty shopping @ Mr B's... this Boots addiction is getting out of hand lol!!!!!:o What would I do w/out u all...:T

I made a right moose of myself by trying to use a reduced No7 Protect + Perfect SUNCARE item with the £5 off Protect + Perfect voucher. But the adorable SA tried it anyway. Bless her. I felt like a right moose though.

Managed to use up 5 x HAIRCARE bits and got 5 x JF handbag serums. Another lovely SA put everything through without a moan or a groan.

Still got 2 x FACIAL SKINCARE ones, but I don't see myself getting anything with them. Will probably hurl them in the bin.

I've seen a few people mention that they are not getting any PURPLE/SKINCARE+HAIRCARE vouchers. Some tills might not have both sets, so just go to ones where they do. Also, if the SA forgets to give you either or both, just remind them politely. I went in last Saturday and I only got given the SKINCARE+HAIRCARE voucher, not the PURPLE one. So I said "I'm sorry darling, I think I get another voucher too". She apologised profusely and got one out for me and told me she only works weekends and was not sure about them.

I've also found that if you are nice and polite to SA's, they will be just the same to you. All the SA's from my local wave and say hi if they see me anywhere in town. 2 used to be complete mooses, but now are absolutely cute and adorable.

hi everyone,
im after the new no7 gwp, just wondering if there are any glitches on it at the moment so that i can get it cheaper than what spend is needed on it.

any help woild be great
TIA

I have detailed the below b4 and have used this formula to get the best of my vouchers for a minimum spend and also get the No7 GWP so here it goes:

No7 Facial trim 1/2 price @ £5.87 *** these r the electrical items the tills c @ full price ****
No7 P&P lip care @ 8.60
No7 GWP @ 0.00
Total b4 discounts £20.34

Use
Perkie
ACM P&P No7 £5 (if u have n e?)
250pts Xmas gift sets (if u have n e)
250pts from GWP (from the above ur getting)

So total 2 pay £4.47 with 500 bonus pts + n e normal pts + 2 earn wrinklie/hairy/perkie add something 4 53p or more;

The ACM P&P voucher takes off the FULL amount on the shopping so combined with the Perkie the till will take away £10 off ones shop (tho the lip care is £8.60 it takes another £1.40 off the total bill... hope have been able to explain:o ) HTH

Hi Sarahdol,

Have a look at your receipt if it says

"earn uk prof hair" you should have got a wrinklie
also if it says "save 5 earn uk" you should have got a Purkie

Please can anyone correct me if i'm wrong.

VQ

Receipt states i should have got a wrinklie, but she said I didnt qualify for the No 7 one.

Sarahdol75

Just looked on the bottom of my receipt and it says mobile phone top ups sold as agents, do you think this is why I didnt earn a purkie

It looks like this too is SA dependent... as another poster advised earlier (apologies cannot recall who it was) it is the SA's who scan both vouchers and they appear on the receipt... if the SA's 'wanted' or mistakenly scanned the vouchers I am fairly positive the till would accept this... so they r not automatically added onto ones receipt... on some of my transactions I've had some SA's scanning them thus they show on the receipt and some have just handed the vouchers to me so nothing on the receipt... I, personally, think SA's r required 2 scan these vouchers so they appear on the receipts...

Also if I had not been given the perkie the next time I popped into Boots I'd explain I had not got 1 & hopefully be given 1... so no harm in trying specially when these r soooooo handy....:D

Hi saradol75,

I got all of the vouchers today when I topped up my phone. You earn them all when you spend £5 or more. Even with top ups but the assistant has to scan both barcodes and in the right order.

Does anyone know if i was to buy 1 pack of pampers baby nappies, 2 packs of pampers wipes + essentials, can i use all these coupons together provided that i have spent over £10 in baby dept?
Also, does Mini Mode count as baby dept or is it just nappies and the such?
TIA

I have bout 3 weeks to catch up on!
Anyone know if they have ne glitches etc in north east. i have 5 skincare vouchers to spend tomorrow, (went to sunderland today and all the cheap things you could get were sold out )

haven't found much in NE recently unfortunately. Nothing good in Kingston Pk today, silverlink or North Shields at weekend, & only bits & pieces in Newcastle stores, although Eldon Sq did have plenty of Olay TE wash at £5.86 so 86p after wrinklie, although this was saturday so may all be gone by now.

Haven't tried Metrocentre or washington, so either of these may be worth a try. Only other place in NE I've ever found v useful was teesside park, but it's a bit of a trek. Usually had fairly decent bargains, but not been for a while.
