Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 8..Read first post for current bargains

mumof3_2

I used my Boots vouchers from Pigsback to buy £30 worth of No7 stuff (in 2 separate transactions) thereby qualifying for 2 free gift bags and 2x £5 skincare vouchers which I promptly spent on 2 Olay face washes at £4.99 each, the checkout girl even gave me my 2x 1p change!!! I could hardly keep a straight face... :j

I had an awful day at Boots in EK today. Picked up 2 No7 products (sun range) that were 7.50 each and lifted a bag ( got it last week) and 2 pack os L'oreal wipes. The very young SA told me the wipes weren't int he skincare voucher offer - wouldn't even ring them through to try, then looked in my bag before ringing through lilac bag, and told me I hadn't spent £15 so wasn't entitled to the bag either, I told her the till would charge if that was the case, but again she refused to ring up - said she would call for someoe fromthe No7 counter to confirm - told her just to leave it all!!!! Now have 2 skincare vouchers to spend but there is very little stock £5 and under in any of the EK stores - don't really want to have to pay for anything as I have boxes of the stuff now - Any ideas anyone????

On the plus point picked up my free clinique sample from Debenhams - Brilliant thanks to poster for that...

I am sure you all know already that this range is on a third off.

Picked up Lavender and Cedarwood Candle, Bathing Powder and Massage Oil for under a fiver - really nice birthday present for someone.

Look out for the Bathing Powder - it was reduced to 66p (SEL said £1).

This was in Luton store and they still had some left at 15.30 today..............

I hope no-one minds me butting in to ask a quick question?
Last week I bought some No7 eyeshadow, along with the No7mascara to take me over the amount to qualify for the free goodie bag. Last night I wore the eyeshadow for the first time and today it has left my eyelids red and dry and itchy. :mad: Do I remember reading somewhere that this can be returned as I had an adverse reaction to it
Thanks in advance for your replies.

yes you can return, with a recipet you will get a refund and without one you will get a gift card/exchange (but if you do prent teh recipet you will have to return teh gift too if you take a refund and not an exchange)

Wahoo! just come back from Boots (well a while ago, needed to put dinner on - people round here keep wanting to eat and interrupt my bootsing and mseing! :rolleyes: )

Used up my four skincare vouchers - I got:

Transaction 1 -
TD lip plumper - paid £1.99 - used £5.00 voucher
Bodyform - free with voucher

Transaction 2 -
TD intensive restoring treatment - cost £3.75
TD night moisturiser - cost £2.23
paid with £5.00 voucher, so actual cash payment 98 pence

Transaction 3 -
TD night moisturiser x 2 - £2.23 each so free with voucher

Transaction 4 -
TD night moisturiser x 2 - £2.23 each so free with voucher (again!)

So all in all lots of goodies for a total spend of £2.97! The SA was not at all impressed and looked just like she'd been sucking a lemon, especially when she realised that more than one product would go through for free (I told her that I was quite happy to pay for the second item if it didn't go through - ha ha! ). I was very very nice to her, but I don't think that she liked me very much, even less when she had to add the points from a receipt that I'd asked to be validated (dh had remembered that I would want the points from the drinks he bought the children yesterday - he's beginning to learn! :T )

So all in all a great Boots shop - though dh thinks that they will soon ban me! :eek:

For anyone near the Weston high street store - the TD stuff is in the old packaging on a high shelf above the tills! Was told by a diff SA that the hand cream wouldn't go through with the voucher :rotfl: , thought that I'd just make the most of the other stuff instead, especially as the old style handcream was still priced at £5.00 :eek:

i always thought it was one product per voucher and you didnt get the change or to put teh change towards anything else- well you learn something new every day! thanx very much!

Hi freebie_junkie, it was funny seeing a fellow mse'r, glad you got a great bargain. was worried when a SA approahed me an asked if I knew you,(must have seen us chatting), as she said she had been alerted to someone "thieving" i.e ripping the vouchers off the packets!! I tried to find you as I was sure you'd get nabbed by security!! Glad you're okay!
I was quite happy with my one pack....am running out of storage space at home!

Happy hunting All!

no way! really! well security didnt say owt, what did she say that sa? how cheeky!!! i did rip teh tokens off teh ones id just got, but thats coz if you strt off with 10 coupons you can just keep on getting 10 and 10 and 10 etc... but you gotta rip teh tokens off first havent you?! but i have recipets for all of the ones ive gotten!!! :mad:
