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

The Extracts Mini Body Washes and Body Butters are £1.63 each.....
but seem to be like gold dust, so good luck finding some.
The Lip Balms are £2.27 and the full sized Body Washes are £2.60.
All prices here include a third off the normal price.
The 2 voucher points combo, will work with all of these items. HTH.

I could be wrong daisy, but I'm sure another poster used a voucher on that set. hth

i have just used a perkie on a no7 ultimate file & buff compact,it was by all the manicure stuff and for £4.89 went through free with a perkie:D

There you go mumofnine (how do you cope? ) but a good example of how to use up a perkie - for no spend. The newer version's are a little bit more at £5.87 and more appealing from a hamper maker's point of view, but still over-priced imo, unless a voucher's used. Thanks for the reminder Ohhh, I've just managed to double-quote - I think

No idea what's up with me and Boots lately lol. I'd better find something good to say

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.

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:

I also got these really cheap at the beginning of the year

They were reduced
and on a 342
and 10% off,
and I used a pinkie as well.

So I had about 7 items for one pinkie and no money changed hands. :eek:

That why I find it so hard now to hand over a perkie, for 1 of them. Or am I weird??

Thats why I don't understand Mr B. Tell us your logic :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

pottersfolly

Just thought I would share for those of you that have not seen this
and like dark colours, it says new shade on the bottle so don't know how "new" it is.

Damson Dream Stay Perfect nail colour use perkie and its £1.xx

Wow, what a great deal. I would take my hat off to you..If I was wearing one lol!
I got them to put in gift hampers etc, but the Face and Body Brush was for meeeeee...
I wanted one for ages but didn't like the £10 ish price label!

I am just glad that I have been able to pick up some great bargains with the perkies....
Before the perkie police decided enough was enough.
I have just 1 left and have no intention of spending more cash to get more of them!
As they are worth much less to us all than they were before.

Sounds like a dream to me :rotfl:

Thanks for the pic pottersfolly I've got the same or similar, and it always looks really nice. A 'mare to get off without the right remover though

(Really going now. Need food, lol. x)

no mini extracts , so used my last acm/mag combo on the lip balm which I like anyway. (works fine on ss tills )
Plenty of green Olay gwp, but being guarded by SA (more on that later!) No clearance section, no reduced sels except for baby toothbrushes 47p and whitening mouthwash 60p. No putting sets left. No reduced No.7
Quite a few No7 acessories that work with perkie, files/sponges/glove. Finally found the mirror compact £5.87, never seen this before.

Nearly wombled my first perkie! saw it tucked behind some Olay definity (surely left by a kind bootser :A), Yay! Problem, SA was standing in front of it, Boo! Decided to follow SS's advice and engage her in some gentle banter, while slowly steering her further down the aisle. My ploy was working, until she turned and started re-arranging the shelves. I vainly hoped that she would not notice it, but she bent down, spotted the perkie, tutted, and tidied it up :eek: So I endured a 5 mins lecture about how good Olay regenerist daily facial thingy is, (I know, I have drawers full of it from the wrinklie!) for nothing.
Next time, I'm going to be brazen and just dive for it! :rotfl:
