Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 51 - Post your finds here

Hi guys,

Can I ask, those of you who have managed to find the Extracts lip balms - how much did they cost you?

I just found a store which sells them here, they are £2.27 with the third off, is that right? It seems a lot for such a tiny pot of product . Mind you, I have the acm and mag vouchers to use on them, so I would be getting paid to take them away I suppose.

How much are the Extract minis, if again you can find them?

Thanks guys

Morning Sally and all

I can't post the pic up unfortunately, 'cos I've locked myself out of photobucket :rotfl: But I looked at them again and I'm not sure a picture would have helped anyone anyway because they just look like a cream square inserted into a see-through bag

If you look for a zip-loc kind of bag with the No7 logo and * '3 Pack' on the front, you should find them. hth

(*Make sure you don't pick up a 3 pack of anything else *wink* lol)

Edited again: Just realised I could probably email it to you

But what do you do with a muslin cloth???
Other than, strain home made wine through them.
Use them to wrap the christmas puds in to steam.
Make dolls underkirts with them

That's all I have used muslin for (OK I lead a sad life) but I really NEED to know what you do with them (stamps feet) Please.

Edit, just thought I have yards of muslin, I wonder if I can make them and sell them on ebay????.

Get sewing quick

I've just read the back of the pack of the Muslin Cloths and this is how they're described:

"A gentle way to exfoliate and to aid daily cleansing. Helps remove impurities and stimulate circulation. Apply your N07 cleanser to the face. Massage the cloth gently over the skin to remove the cleansing lotion.

After each use wash the cloth in warm soapy water, rinse well and leave to dry naturally. Fibre content: 100% cotton."

And that's it. They're just 3 pieces of 6" x 6" (approximate) muslin that most/some of us might not even bother to wash to re-use hth

yes £2.27, but they are a lip balm so you only have to use a tiny bit, I think they will last ages. The Cocoa butter one smell delicious, fortunately it doesn't taste of anything otherwise I'd be nibbling my lips all day long. hth

There are hundreds of the "Petal" ltd edition no7 eye pallets in the fargate branch of sheffield @ £5.37.

Now, they look like tat but I've got a perkie burning a hole in my purse so thought for 37p me mam might like it as it looks like it's from the sixties, like her . So very sweetly asked the No7 SA if I could use my voucher against it and was met with a stony "NO". Not to be put off by the miserable cow I sweetly said, "Oh there's not a lot of things you can use it on this time round, without spending a bit of money-credit crunch and all that"-all smiles. She then pointed to the No7 cleanser that I could get for £7.50 and stormed off.

So clearly Boots doesn't want my custom and wishes to keep the carp eyeshadow they couldn't sell at full price and can't shift at half price.

My No7 voucher is staying firmly in my bag unless I can start using it on some bargains-I will therefore not be bothering, as another poster said, to make spends up to £5 to gain another. Given the huge amount of reduced foundations and lipsticks hanging around my local for the last week not going anywhere (where reduced items normally fly off the shelves in two minutes) the lovely Mr B is going to end up with a lot of stock he can't shift, a lot less money from £5 spends and a lot more No7 on the shelves.

So there

rant over lol

Thanks for your update. I was thinking of getting a petal eyeshadow set with my perkie. Shan't bother now as they're bound to end up further reduced. Did you see a clearance section? It used to be upstairs, but I popped in on Thurs and didn't spot anything. The only thing I came out with was a mag. Thank you.

To other Sheffielders, has anyone noticed any clearance extracts, sanctuary sets etc, either at M.Hall or in or around the City Centre? I don't know if I walk around with my eyes shut, but I never notice any bargains:( TIA everyone.

After a week of giving my skin a break from No7 skincare, i can safely say i won't be getting anymore!, so im after a way to use my last perkie

I picked up 2 of these No7 Mini Brush Sets for just £1 each.
I also got the No7 Face and Body Brush x 2 for £1, which is usually almost £10.
Also got a No7 Tweezer Set with case for £1, not sure how much it is normally.
I paid with a perkie for everything...So it cost me £0.00p
The No7 Cosmetic Sponges were all reduced to just £1 too,
so I got some of these and some after sun, all £0.00p with a perkie.

However this was before the strict 'anti perkie' regime that is in force now.
I wouldn't have minded paying to get these items at these prices.
I do think that all the old style accessories will get cheaper soon, in order to make way for the new design.

By the way, the 'New' No7 Face and Body Brush...Is exactly the same as the old one, but is in a smaller plastic box.
The Mini Brush Set has exactly the same brushes as the old one, but has a different case.
I rather liked the old 'quilted' design...
I thought it was rather like retro quilted Dior and Coco Chanel....If you squint your eyes a bit (lol!) :rotfl:

Yep, I got one of these too with a perkie today. I've had the compact mirror too (same range, in the same aisle) for 87p with a perkie also.

Yes, I got one of those! they are the old style accesories. There are nail buffers in the same style quilted holder for £5ish, tweezers in a pouch with a mirror for £9ish, and today I finally found (and got) the compact mirror in a pouch for £5.87. All were in the acessories aisle near nail stuff.
