I went to my local store to get a another reduced foundation (£7.00) but the till beeped and they would not take the voucher. I could not argue as it does say it cant be used with reduced items though. Still I have one foundation and I got DD 2 aswell so must not grumble. I am trying to stay away from Boots for a few days s money is tight. I am supposed to be going to Aviemore for 3 days in April as my ex wants to go climbing. Am trying to book hotel wit Tesco vouchers and he is paying petrol. So I need to know best Boots in Aviemore, Inverness area as I will have 1.5 days to myself. Also need to collect as many points as I am saving them on my DS and DD's cards to get them free lunches. Any ideas? BTW I love the Troll chart!!

Hi Rose.
Aviemore is a very small place. There is a Boots in Aviemore but it's small.
Inverness has two stores and although I cannot recall every having been there I believe they are larger but Inverness is about 40 miles beyond Aviemore. You will pass Perth on your way there. It is just over 90 miles from Aviemore. There is a nice Boots in the middle of High Street Perth right opposite BHS.

I was there yesterday and got a few things. They had plenty of No 7 compacts even in New Ivory. They scanned at the £3* price but the SA said they had had an email from Head Office and had to change the price to £6*.

They have 2 AC machines. I have already had 3 points coupons for the Extracts series so it did not give me any more yesterday but my daughters card gave me 2:D. My daughter has gone to live in USA but left her card with me. It's very handy for such occasions.

We went to Wetherspoons in Tay Street for lunch (two meals for £7.20) and later went to M & S for coffee and cake for £2 after 2 pm. Cake is normally £2.20 itself and the assistant asked did I want large coffees as it is still just £2 for a large coffee and pick of cakes on display.

this might explain the really large hand-written sign saying "vouchers can not be used on reduced items" that i saw they were putting up by the No7 counter last night

that didnt stop me though, i just grabbed 2 foundations and wandered off to another till to pay, but looks like even that wouldnt have worked today

Just been to Boots to get a meal deal, and surprisingly enough it came through as free. I got my free meal deal on Wednesday so was quite shocked. Tried to explain to SA that I had already had my free one, and she explained the buy 5 and get 1 free policy to me like I had just been born. Oh well. Buy 5 and get 2 free. I'm not complaining.

Many times one finds it's just not worth trying to explain a mistake and often the SA's will look/feel the cmr is just being 'dumb'... and they know it all as always... :rolleyes: no listening skills(?)... But who's 2 complain on a freebie Mimi?

Went to B's today following my y'day trip (will post about it a bit later) re No7 Compact Foundation (got them y'day @ £3.18 so thought of buying some more...) but the till would not accept the Perkie!!!!:eek: Fortunately had a nice SA (I know not many of these around) who I explained I was able 2 use the voucher a day b4 with no probs and she overrode the price & put them all @ £3.18 with the Perkies! :T She was an :A , lol! So only got the below:

2 * No7 Compact Foundation @ £3.18 so with Perkie £1.36 to pay;
Again as above;
Extract Minis @ £1.63 (used Mag 150pts) got the Mini body butters & they do look cute... unfortunately no Extract 150pts from ACM n e more...

Popped down 2 another B's on my way home (a smaller one) and tho the prices on the No7 Compact Foundation showed @ £12.50 full price got it price checked and again, it came @ £3.18; decided to get 2 more to check if the voucher would beep and yes it did... the 2 SA's around the till could not understand why the voucher was not going thru... after so many attempts they decided to check with manager... after about 5mins the SA came back & advised the foundations were @ 75% off & voucher conditions do state these cannot b used on reduced items but I was more then welcome to purchase them @ £3.18 which I declined (already had 4 today & 2 from y'day!)... also am getting quite good @ acting dumb when the reasons why the perkies cannot b accepted r explained...:o

It appears Mr B is very well aware of the reductions on No7 products to 75% off (tho these offers r not being highlighted @ stores 4 whatever reasons) but as off 2day (coz did not have this problem y'day) the Perkies r not accepted @ the tills on purchase of reduced foundations... still to establish is if the Perkies don't work with any reduced No7...

I tried to get the compacts today but it wouldnt work with no 7 voucher even with 2 of them, she wouldnt override the till and I ended up leaving them, she made me all flustered too, and there was a queue behind me :-(

Gosh - I just looked on .com to see how much the Origins scrub is that I got free. It is £27.40 for 125ml, the free sample was 50ml and it says £21.92 per 100ml so a great freebie. I don't think I can afford to buy it once the sample gets over though!!!

Boot doing 2 Simple products for £2.50.

I like soap as opposed to shower gel and find Simple soap lasts for ages.

2 packs x4 of soap at £1.25 instead of £1.99.

Just got back from Tollgate Colchester where I got a No7 No Grains Exfoliator (on the clearance section) marked as £4.30 but SA happily accepted my perkie for it :j

Also had loads of vitamins & supplements £1
Rimmel mascaras and eye pencils at £1.50
Shaders & Toners temp hair colors 10p
SMA baby milk cartons
Gillette razors £2
Mouthwash 94p

Sorry can't remember everything but was marked as being everything £1 unless marked differently.

HTH someone!

Today the No7 foundation compacts were still reduced @ £3.08p each,
so I picked up 2 and used a perkie, which was great.
The till didn't like the perkie, but the No7 SA said that she would take the £5 off anyway.

I bought 1 x Extracts Bergamot Wash @ £2.60, used 150 points from mag and 150 points from ACM,
with no beeps from the till. 1 x TS mini @ £1.56, used 150 points ACM.
1 x Extra item to make my purchase up to £5, earnt a perkie and 462 points.
Also 1 X Extracts Coconut Lip Balm @ £2.60, used 150 points from mag, 150 points ACM, again no beeps from the till,
1 x TS mini @ £1.56, used 150 points from ACM, 2 x No7 compacts @£3.08 each, used a perkie so just £1.16p to pay for 2.
Paid £5.32 but got 470 points back.
Total spent was £10.32, with 932 points back.

The coconut lip Balm is nice to use imo.
The magazines were being kept by the tills, which is not normally the case.
The ACM had no new/ or decent offers or points vouchers at all.
