    I'm obsessed with finding even more brag books now.

    I'll sort out the PMs asap - I haven't forgotten them for those that sent them. x

    Took a trip into town today and it was a waste of time!

    No reduced shelves!
    No reduced No 7 Body Beautiful!
    No reduced haircare to spend the vouchers on!
    No putting sets! (Not that I actually wanted one!)
    No mens L'Oreal anti fatigue things!
    Girard sets are still just under £10, and the only reduced SEL I found with goods on the shelf matching it was Gillette shaving foam.
    Very little left of the items which cost only a few pounds with the £5 voucher.

    So not a Grabbit post, just a warning to avoid Kettering store if you are in this area because it is poop!

    Depends how u want to use them. If u want to use them on S&G minis take them to the tills. If the till beeps explain they only exculde the wipes as shown on the bottom of the voucher. Be persistent and usually the supervisor will over ride the till.

    I've still not been able to use my S&G vouchers. Tried same store as last week where they had refused to take them off any product, today SA said they would only take them if I bought skincare. Manager was called, but she agreed with SA.

    The rest of my shop was very successful, similar purchases and voucher uses as identified by other posters. Used my P&P voucher kindly sent by Weebug to buy body serum and used 250 No7 point from previous GWP and picked up another GWP so only £7.25 to pay and points added. I tried to use up all my wrinklies on olay face wash and JF hairspray so very little to paywhich must be breeding as I calculated wrongly, so still have 1x £5 part left. I'll have to go back again tomorrow.

    Passion8 - I didn't pm you hun, but still obsessed with finding them reduced!!!!! I ripped my first page in the one I have lol in my haste to get a voucher out!!!!
  • Been Bootsing today, went to Glasgow Fort.

    First went to the ACM, let me print another 2 p&p and UG vouchers. Plus added my 500 points from Customer Service (after complaining about S&G vouchers). Also picked up the £5 off when you spend £25 vouchers, have 5 of them left now, and a couple of £5 off p&p vouchers. pm me with ideas of what to do with them! ;)

    2nd Shop - SS tills
    UG Make over spray £4.88
    Used 100pts ACM voucher+£2 hair wrinklie
    Total to pay: £2.88+108pts

    3rd Shop - Perfume counter
    Lacoste Love of pink 50ml perfume: £33.28
    Used £5 off wys £25 and 750 points voucher (this had to be added on manually)
    Total to pay: £28.28+ 812pts+wrinklie
    They had none of the Lacoste gifts left, so SA gave me a Givenchy bath/beach towel

    Time Delay Gradual Tan moisturiser: £5.86
    Rimmel Sweet Seduction palette: 0.00
    Used £5 facial wrinklie

    No7 GWP: 0.00
    Mens gift bag: 0.00
    Used £5 p&p voucher
    Total to pay: £7.25+28 points+wrinklie

    IMHO worth the 1hr and 30mins bus journey there, and the very numb backside i now have!

    Edit: They had one tiny clearance shelf. nothing good on it, and most of it i have seen cheaper in the city center. Plenty of putting sets though!
    Hardly and reduced SEL, saw a couple of things, though they did have loads of No7 and 17 things i have never seen before, brushes, sponges etc.

    SA told me the No7 vouchers will be back at the end of March!

    Oh and the GWP ended in 039, had the voucher inside and another bloody Plum lippy, have 3 of these now! ARGGHH

    It depends on the store in one store I tried they said they would not accept the vouchers due to their being no billing address on the voucher :confused: In other stores SA's and supervisors have been really gd about the vouchers but a little confused as it's such a gd deal.

    HI, they wont work unless you are buying the new facial skincare range. However it is not stated on the actual voucher that they are only for this range so some SA's may overide the voucher and manually deduct £2 off any of the s&g range, including minis..

    cheers. so if it doesnt scan should i just ask the sa if she could type it in manually(nicely of course)

    Can I add Olay Total Effects Self Heating Skin Exfoliator to the under £2.50 to pay list. It's about £6xx before the wrinklie.

    These seem ok too for £7.33 before wrinklie thing :)

    (Borders around the images? :confused: :rotfl: )

    Edit: Ignore the border, there's not even an image appearing lol

  • I used the S&G voucher against the large size Calm One, Calm All today - it beeped but the SA put it through as a brand coupon.

    I have the following coupons going spare, all expiring on 24th Feb - if any wants them, let me know:

    2 x save £5 on P&P skincare
    100 points on any product from No7 Body Beautiful range
    100 points on Natural Collection washing & bathing products
    100 points for Botanics Mature Facial Skincare range
    150 points when you spend £20

    edit: only the 100 points on Body Beautiful and Botanics Mature vouchers left

    I used S&G voucher today, and it was fine.
    Though i did buy the skincare range it is meant to be used with! Used the SS tills, and it scanned fine, on my reciept it shows up as the item i bought (Clean Mary Face wash) with a price of £3.xx instead of £5.xx
