I went to BOOTS yesterday, picked up my free sample of Clinique:j and had my free make over with Lancome!:beer: then off to the AC machine with my new replacement card! *kisses it excitedly! * got the elusive EI coupon and got the BOGOF handwash. Soltan kids duo on BOGOF, got Trevor Sorbie RED shampoo and conditioner (£4.99 each on 2 for £7) great for my new hair colour that has already faded so fast in 2 weeks OH has had to do a home colour job on it! Got the No 17 tan wipe and free brush and a tan correcter and another free brush:j .. found the T&G style palettes (what a saving on those!!) one pink one blue £7. got 2 packs bodyform (of the few with vouchers still on! casually pulled vouchers off while browsing <as you do!>) checking receipt was only charged for one pack but both vouchers went through!:T Tyxilix chesty cough plus poiints... split them into 2 transactions for £5 vouchers:money: (see Im learning!)... so all in all....

total (1st spend) £14.26 - 2* £1 coupons = £12.26 total saving £19.56
total £11.15 points received 44 double points coupon 44 offer points 150 total savings £7.13 (just noticed though she said she had used double points voucher on both sales she didnt!!! :mad: and it only doubled regular poiints not offer points is this correct??? )

Can someone tell me whats the best things to get for free or little outlay with these.... thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Phew! You've been a busy lass Pash!

Anyway, with my No7 parenting voucher I got a lovely Uplifting Night Cream. It costs £16 normally so you will be getting the most out of your voucher! It's lovely stuff too.

With the Mediterranean voucher, I got the honey, olive and neroli body butter, but the only thing is the voucher says it has to be from the pregnancy Mediterranean range, and they are not BOGOF so only got one of these.

Wonder if I'd get away with taking it back and swapping for one of the normal med range on BOGOF!! LOL

I just got back from Watford, where I took back an unwanted present, and there is a sign by all the tills saying that they will only do exchanges to the value of the unwanted item, no vouchers or gift cards. Is this a new policy?

I've set up a swap vouchers thread here if anyone is interested

Was in small Boots today and picked up a Loreal men expert Anti wrinkle kit for £4.99.

It is a grey/orange washbag containing skin renovator, anti-expression wrinkle serum and moisturising eye cream.

Got to checkout and it came up at £22.48. SEL was hidden under another sign. SA called another SA and they weren't too keen on doing a price override, but I insisted.

No free stuff, no AC machine but was really pleased with this. Now just have to convince OH to use it.

Hiya Charlotte3 - I tried my vouchers last week and had no.7 night cream, free, the lilac bag free, the honey body butter free, with lavender cooling cream free in the med range, botanics 5 min conditioner and got a clay face mask from botanics free. The till accepted them all and I paid nothing.

Did you get the lilac bag too with your no.7 item ? thanks

Well. I have managed to stay out of Boots all week, but succumbed today!

First, top up for DD £10, got voucher.

Then:

Flower Therapy Lavender Body creme reduced to £1 went through at 66p
17 self tan wipe 1.99
Brush free
Bodyform 99p (too many people around to do voucher, but saved for next visit!)
TD night creme £5 plus £5 voucher
TS mint lipbalm 63p
TS gel 44p
TS deodorant 44p
TS face wash 38p

Total spend £10. 53, and earned another voucher

The TS is for DS1 and DS2 (only if DS1 lets him...) and the 17 for DD. The Time Delay is for me and much needed... :rotfl: :rotfl:

I have also refrained from buying anything from Boots all week, but I gave in today! Bought a couple of things, plus 2 bodyform packs. Handed over 2x£1 vouchers and the SA said "I doubt the till will accept these, because the bodyform is reduced". Imagine the look on her face when it did. :rotfl:
