Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 51 - Post your finds here

wanna-b-rich

Managed to get a few of the No7 Foundations yesterday for free using some of my ever increasing stash of perkies:D

The SA was very reluctant to sell me just one at time and said that you have to pay something when using the vouchers. Couldn't be bothered to stand and argue so paid £1.68ish for two. Then grabbed a basket put the foundations in there and paid at a till at the other end of the store, where I put each one through as a seperate transaction.

Whilst wandering round the store scanning the SEL's for bargains, I spotted that the Dove Pro-Age Neck & Chest Serum was reduced to £1.71 from £7.93 and that a range of the fake tan stuff Johnsons, Dove and Nivea were reduced to £0.90 - £1.27 a bottle. I didn't buy any as I still have a box load from the Tesco's H&B days.

I can also confirm that the foundations are still scanning at £3.xx today, as a friend has just texted me to let me know that she has got some.

On a slightly different note - does anyone know if Crawley has SS or anything worth looking out for? TIA

Out of genuine curiosity (not just a blatant way to get my post back on topic! ) would you be able to get mooncups at Boots? If you do, then I might be interested in checking them out.

yes you can, about £21.99, but someone a few weeks ago said they got some on clearance for a ridiculous price, less than £5 I think! hth

I had a little time to kill before my dance class, so popped into the Fremlin Walk branch of Boots to check out the situation with the No7 foundations.

They still had quite a few, on the usual No7 stand but with reduced stickers on them - compacts at £3.18 and the ones in bottles at £3.50 each. I got some of each for myself and Mum. I said I was wanting to use my No7 vouchers for them, and the lovely young darked haired SA advised me that if I bought them in 2s I would only have a small amount to pay. However, I had a whole bunch of vouchers in my pocket and decided free was better than cheap She put them all through with no problem at all.

I did notice that there was a shade called 'cream' in the bottled version, that wasn't marked down at all, but I don't know what it would have scanned at.

They didn't have any of the No7 High Lights Illuminating Powder at all, but I did manage to get the 'Sugar Plum' lipstick that had been out of stock for some time in both branches and online (I used a voucher to bring the price down on that, of course).


After class, I went to the Chequers Centre branch to pick up my online orders, so I now have Sanctuary freebies to give as gifts to my daughter's teachers when she leaves the school in July. Thanks to whoever it was that told us about these

The SA insisted on opening the large boxes and transferring the contents to bags to make them easier to carry :eek: and she commented on how nice the Sanctuary things were.

I had a look at the No7 stand, and the No7 foundations didn't have stickers on, but the SELs clearly stated £3.18 and £3.50, with the word 'clearance' on them. The 'Tan' colour didn't appear to be included, but I didn't ask. When I asked the lovely SA about the High Lights Illuminating Powder, she told me that the peach colour had been discontinued, but they had none of that colour left. The other colours were still at full price. She pointed the foundation prices out to me, as the only reduced No7 they now had, so she was well aware of the prices.

There is still a small amount of Model Me reduced on an end of shelf stand, and some hair colour - the 6-8 wash Clairol Nice 'n' Easy was reduced to £1.74

Seems like the No7 foundation mystery continues .
Yesterday where I bought mine at £3.50, they were clearly marked at that price on the SELs. Today I had a look, and the reduced SEL had gone, and they appeared to be back up at around £12!! They didn't have my shade, so I didn't get a price check.

I came out empty-handed, as it also turns all that all the Extracts minis in that store are Mediterranean flavour, and they have no Extracts lip balm at all (I'm assuming these would be with the other Extracts products?).

Hi, im making a special mothers day hamper for my mum for mothers day, and have been stocking up on lots of goodies especially from mr b courtesy of the glitches/offers, but now need a basket, gift box? to put them all in, does any one know here i can buy a nice one? Or any ideas, would be muchly appreciated, TIA :T

I always try to use a container that in itself with be useful IYSWIM - so I did the last pamper hamper I made in a big vanity case (about £3 from Primark) and bits for my nephew in a brightly coloured plastic box that could be used for storing toys in. I did a movie hamper for my little brother in an upturned DVD rack and a retro sweets hamper in a big plastic bucket). Things like plastic waste paper baskets are great too.

Bellydancer - I'm from Maidstone originally - I miss the days when the chequers centre boots was two floors and did kitchen equipment and all sorts of random stuff :rotfl: I used my first ever glitch aqcuired points to buy an espresso machine *stops reminising*

Boots bit: Foundations now priced at c. £6 - £7 in Oxford this morning. Spoil sports :rotfl:

Hiya...... Yes Crawley does have SS tills, went there on the way to visiting friends a couple of weeks ago, didn't do any bootsing though as just grabbing sandwich with OH.
