  • I had a good cheap shop today. Sally Hanson lip gloss reduced to £2.88 bujoirs (sp) nail polish remover, 17 mascara and free nail polish, and a 24 hour deodorant reduced to 35p
    I used pooey
    50 points for deodorant
    voucher for £1 mascara
    double points coupon
    total £4.77 so added a £5 phone top up to get another pooey.
    Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:

    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts Name Dropper Combo Breaker
    Max Factor False Lash mascara £10.99 :eek:

    http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=641711&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

    17 eyeshadow trio £4.88

    Used pooey to get £2 off the mascara and half price ACM voucher to get the eyeshadow trio and got the free nail polish.

    All in all I saved over £7 and got all three for the cost of the mascara, which I wanted to try anyway :j

    My good friend was with me in Boots and I gave her the nail polish as I won't use it (but can never let a good freebie go by!) and she was really impressed at my use of the vouchers - direct quote "I always throw all that sh*te away"!! She has promised to keep them all for me now so I can show her how to get all the bargains :D

    Awww please leave at least one for me to get tomorrow morning :D My lips are really dry from walking along the seafront every day :rolleyes:

    Oh RD, I am so envious how lovely to live so close to the seafront that you can visit it daily. I grew up on the riverfront and its so much a part of my life that even though I don't live too far from it now, I still miss my daily views of the Mersey.

    Hiya peeps - just thought I'd pop on and share my shops of the last few days.

    On Sunday needed to go to Ikea & as luck would have it there is a Mr B's right opposite! Fancy that!! Anyway, no No7 coupons for me although already had a humiliating one & lovely lady on here had sent me another! Tried ACM to see if I could get any of the others to do the combo but :( not to be!!

    No7 Highlights - £10.00
    Loreal Colour Appeal eyeshadow - £4.88 (reduced to £3.88)
    Expert Dry Mouthspray - £2.49*
    handed over: £10 Humiliating coupon didn't beep! and £2 Pooey
    30point ACM coupon* (SA tried to tell me I hadn't met conditions!! but I stood my ground and she admitted I was right - thought she'd added the points on but when I got home realised she hadn't!!)
    £9.02 to pay - not as good as some for the No7 stuff but I was chuffed to only pay £8.80 for the no7 goodies!

    Then on Monday I went to Bluewater and the ACM gave me No7 Glycopeel and Lip filler coupons - annoyed with self that I used up the humiliating vouchers the day before!!! Anyway, still had a great shop & they've got SS at Bluewater so used those even though I was having palpitations and hyperventilating the whole time!! :rotfl:

    Pretty Polly Opaque tights x2 - £2.25 each (orig £9.00 each)
    5 pack Boots fairtrade socks - £1.50 (was £6.00) free as 3-4-2 kicked in
    £4.50 to pay & used another 100 points ACM coupon on boots hosiery/socks - was getting flustered by this point thinking SA watching my every move which is why I didn't manage to get the spend over £5 to receive another Pooey! Just wanted to get out of there cos was convinced any minute she was gonna pounce on me and say you shouldn't have that Putting Set LOL :rotfl:

    Just back from town ............. empty handed :eek:

    got the glycolic peel and line lift vouchers from the ACM which is really annoying as I got the humiliating powder last week, and it would have been nice to use them together.

    Do the tills recognise the reduced glycolic peel kit as full price and then give you the line lift free as it thinks you've spent >£15 ? and I guess I can get anything else in the 342 thingy too ?
    (sorry for the daft questions, but I've got *such* a headache I can't think straight)

    This didn't work for me today. I got the glycolic peel and line lift vouchers, like you, and cursed myself for being impatient last week and using my humiliating powder voucher.

    I bought glycolic peel £17.60
    Line Lift £12.50
    No7 instant radiance concealer FREE ON 3 4 2

    Handed over line lift voucher first, then 1/2 price peel voucher, but the line lift one beeped and SA wouldn't put it through. I got very flustered and she ended up refunding the line lift, which I realised wasn't bad in the end as I ended up getting the peel and the concealer for £8.80, but would have liked all 3.

    Not sure why it didn't work, as I handed over the line lift voucher before the other, so it should have recognised the peel as full price, I think?? Anyone brighter than me got any ideas as I have another peel voucher so would be keen to try it again. Thanks.

    Well I tried the peel last night and must say that my skin looked lots brighter and felt softer and smoother afterwards. I was a little worried as my skin can be dry and sensitive but I had no ill-effects at all!!!

    I would definately buy again (and probably will as mum said I can have her 1/2 price voucher too!)

    HTH

    Em xXx
    :D Mummy to two gorgeous LO's and always in search of a bargain!!! :D

    hi all,

    introduced myself yesterday - but realised that it was giving my real name so have changed that.

    Anyway

    in answer to chazbee's questions
    Do the tills recognise the reduced glycolic peel kit as full price and then give you the line lift free as it thinks you've spent >£15 ? and I guess I can get anything else in the 342 thingy too ?
    (sorry for the daft questions, but I've got *such* a headache I can't think straight)

    what i did was took 3 no7 items to till, sa scanned them, then gave line filler voucher, then half price voucher pais sum total of £8.80 for the lot.:T

    HTH

    Sorry - not sure if I mentioned but loads of the Putting sets at Bluewater on Monday - can't remember if I posted that!

    Oooh also mean't to add that I quickly popped to my local today just to see if ACM giving out No7 coupons as I've still got a couple of the glycopeel coupons but none today although.... as I was putting my card into the ACM I noticed a load of printed out coupons on the top on the machine & thought I'd check them out & I nearly squeeled in excitement cos someone had left a humiliating coupon there!! snapped it up as obviously not wanted so now just need to get a lip filler one and got the full set to maybe try the full combo of all 3 - if not will just do the two & buy a lippie I think - would like them for a hamper!

    Checked the clearance stand and they had No7 Completely Quenched Luxurious Moisture Lotion for £4.50 (£9.25 on .com) so I bought one of those - still about 6 bottles left I think (Redhill store)

    Just wanted to list the ACM coupons I got today - if anyone wants any of them I'd be happy to post on as I don't think I'll be using them! Preferably prefer to send in batches!

    500 points wyb Irresistible Givenchy or Ange ou Demon Tender EDP or EDT
    250 points wyb any boots expert total body range
    100 points wyb botanics cleansing body scrub 300ml
    100 points wyb NEW Boots original beauty formula (incl 3-4-2)
    50 points wyb expert weekly clean toothpaste
    save £1 on Time Delay skincare range (incl 3-4-2)
    25 points wyb natural collection duo eye shadow
    3-4-2 Toni&Guys NEW colour range
    50 points wyb relaunched boots ingredients hair, washing/bathing/body range

    I've got several of each!!

    Was in boots today (shock horror) in Newcastle-under-lyme

    No no7 vouchers for me although i do have a humiliating one from last week which i am saving incase i get the others.

    They have reduced macleans toothpaste and macleans with whitening 66p each on clearance shekf not main shelf.

    in the night garden bubble bath character the blue one £2

    quatro razors

    photo albums

    toothbrushes over £1 but thibnk they are the ones that are bogof

    nothing else really exciting


    They did have a whole shelf end dedicated to clearance sun cream

    good reductions can't remember prices but noyhing i need.

    These are towards the back of the store near the till bank by the exit to the shopping centre can see argos from the clearance shelf.

    There was no clearance med to be seen and no reduced stay perfect foundations no gwp although they did have the new stay perfect compacts out. they look nice but am not sure if i like them will reserve judgement as the cases are much bigger.

    They also had quite a good range of reduced perfume but didn'd pay much attention to prices but they had plenty of newyork nights by girrard gift sets the ones that were really cheap a bit ago, anyone know how much they are now as no prices on the shelf and forgot to get a price check after i had finished scouting




    Also manchester station boots have some clearance own brand tampax at 75p some stay perfect foundation in tubes can;t remember prices and a selection of makeup worth a rumage through.

    Ther is one clearance bit just after the sandwhiches and another on a shelf end halfway down the store.


    Hope that helps someone but no good clearance of any use to me

    Sorry for the long post just wanted to share
