Don't know this one should go folks, but Boots are selling this at £6.99 or buy two for £5.00 in total - I think it's a price error, particularly as Superdrug are selling it at £6.99 too - never tried it though, think its new.

I use loads of this...i'm gonna go tomorrow and look, lets hope it is a pricing error and they don't notice it. Which branch was it in?

The No7 suncare is all on BOGOF, and you can use your voucher with this. In the ACM, you should get vouchers for £2 off a No7 Essential Moisture Foundation. The machine says that the foundation is £9.50, but at the counter it was £9. So you can get a foundation for £2 when using the voucher from the ACM with your £5 off one. There was another voucher for £2 off a No7 Sunkissed Body Lotion, but I can't remember how much it was.

HTH

The No 7 sunkissed body lotion is £8.50.

I got a AM voucher for £2 off the No 7 Sunkissed body lotion and eventually found some and tried to buy it will some other shopping. I was trying to get a £5 voucher for over £10 spend and a lilac bag for £15 purchase of No 7. However after waiting for SA to scan all my shopping I then gave her the £2 off voucher, 250 points off No 7 voucher (from lilac bag) and a £5 voucher off No 7 purchase. She actually deducted the No 7 sunkissed body lotion from my bill and put it through till separately!!

Which meant I did not get the lilac bag nor did I get the £2 off. SA wouldn't budge told me I couldn't not have the bag (not spent over £15 in one transaction) nor the £2 off as she had deducted the £5 voucher off the body lotion and you couldn't have 2 offers.

To say I was fuming was an under statement. Not a happy Bootser today.

This SA make their own rules as they go along! Today one of them said you can't have 3 bodyform vouchers because they are 3 for 2... well after a little hicup.... she thought it was 4 items when in the end only 3 packets and she scan 3 vouchers so it was her rule not the till rule. In the circunstances where you are not happy tell them you are cancelling the transaction.

Can someone tell me what is actually in the lilac bag as Boots site keeps closing on my PC for some reason then sending a Microsoft error report. I'm wondering whether its worth buying bits and getting this free, it would all make a nice Mothers Day gift.

Which product from No7 did someone say is the same as the Johnsons lotion which is supposed to tan you gradually? And is it BOGOF?

Many thanks,
Chell

Oh and can I use a £5 No7, BOGOF and get the bag if I sneak it all in with other shopping? I know this has all been covered but you read so much that you get confused.

To get an idea of the bag contents have a look at the first post, there is a picture of the items.
I don't know about the second question. With the last one, I think people have been able to get it the cheapest is buying in bogof something for the value of 7.50 or 8.50 that is bogof (ac machine thinks it is paid all)
so good luck

The product that tans you is Pre Holiday firm your body balm, either £7.50 or £8.50 .I can't remember which ...but it is BOGOF. quote "smooths orange peel skin and adds a hint of colour"

Pleased with my trip today.

Bumped into a friend in Boots - checked she had an AC - no. Asked if she wanted to use mine - she was spending over £20 on 2 No 7 items she wanted as, in addition, she wanted the lilac bag so I got her 150 points for a £20+ spend and she got her bag and No 7 voucher. She did offer the voucher to me but being a friend I showed her what she could buy with the voucher with little additional spend. She also went away with a form to fill in to get an AC card.

I then got a few bits and bobs that I needed including 4 SC masks which took spend to just over £10 so got No 7 voucher. As I was just putting my purse away the SA starting serving the next customer - asked him if he had an AC - no - so I piped up "would you like to use mine?" He agreed. His spend was over £10 - he didn't want his voucher so the SA gave it to me. With the No 7 vouchers got 1 eye make-up remover - cost £1 and with the other got the lip & eye sheen & mini pre-holiday pack on bogof so 50p for both.

Again, at the check-out person next to me didn't have an AC so, she too, used my card and I got her points.

When I got home I realised that I had been overcharged for some anti-perspirant - tried phoning - too late - so have sent an email. (Is this what others have done in similar circumstances - I know I won't be able to get back to Boots again for another week? Previously, I would have felt annoyed at the overcharge but possibly not done anything about it. (Hang my head in shame.))

Pre finding this forum I wouldn't have done any of the things I've done today i.e accosting total strangers and offering to let them use my card.

When telling DH and teenage sons' of my adventures they just shake their heads. One of them keeps saying 'you can't do that - it's stealing' I'm not honest. I'm just following what's being done on this thread. So, once again, a huge thank-you to all contributors.

Had a good couple of trips to boots today:

In Leeds city centre got 4 skin clear face masks (left plenty for others ), did the 3for2 on sanitary stuff and got the extra points, and bought a few other bits and pieces. Spent £10.65, No7 voucher and 478 points (also got clinque sample). (I don't normally go for the extra points offers unless I actually use the products but I use face masks so that's ok ). There was a massive queue of women at the no7 counter trying to work out what to use there voucher on so I saved it for another day.

Then when I got back to York went into boots no7 counter and took back 2 eyeshadows I bought before Christmas, had used 1 and it made my eyes sore, it was very powdery, and the other was still sealed, and she said I could exchange for anything in the shop up to £13. Chose a time delay moisturiser and hand cream (this is for mum for mothers day as I never got any with the change one thing or spend voucher) and as they are on offer also got OH a lipsalve. Came to £12.99 so got the penny back too.

I love boots :j

HI Everyone
Can anyone reccommend any Ruby & Millie products to buy with the £5 voucher. I always walk past and keep meaning to try some of the products out but before splashing out i thought i'd ask you fellow boots tarts :rotfl: if there were any products worth buying,
thanks

It depends if you want nice things or bargainous choices I think R&M is heavy on the first but difficult for the second - unless the voucher will let you buy non-make-up (no idea as I've not had one this promotion) because the brushes are excellent and several of them are around the £5 mark. The cheapest make-up item is the eyeliner pencil at £8, they are nice and smudgy and some of the colours are interesting. I also think the palettes (eyes, lips or metallics) at £12 are good value with four colours in each. The only product I've had from the range and not rated is an I-writer (liner pen) which I can never get consistent colour flow from.

R&M rarely seems to have sale stock but there was some recently in the main Oxford branch if you are anywhere nearby.

(Pah, I am still lilac bag free too)
