    Hi

    I used the highlights voucher this afternoon and the tills didn't beep.

    I bought:-

    Highlights Powder (free after voucher)
    No7 Stay Perfect Lip Laquer (4.75 reduced to zero as 3for 2)
    No7 Bath Soak £7.80 less £5.00 perkie £2.80

    Used £10.00 Highlights voucher and £5.00 Perkie

    couldnt u have got another no7 item for free aswell as the highlights powder was free anyway, and as it was 3 for2 you could of got 3 for 2 and then used the free highlight voucher?
    would that work? anyone?:p

    I tried this tonight and it didn't work for me :(

    Tried it with:

    Limited Edition Lip Pallette 4.xx
    Limited Edition Lip Pallette 4.xx
    Limited Edition Eye Pallette 5.xx

    Highlight Powder - Was going to use voucher

    Hoped to get 3 for 2 on the limited edition items, and the free highlight power, minus perkie leaving 4.xx ish to pay.

    Put through the 3 items, then powder, then powder voucher and it beeped. SA Looked at it, and said that because I was already getting 3-4-2 then I couldn't get the free powder? Or that's what the till was saying anyway. I wasn't in an arguing mood, figured I'd try SS tills elsewhere tomorrow.

    So got the 3 items anyway, minus perkie, for 4.88 total - still a bargain!!

    I didn't get any of the other NO 7 vouchers, only the 1 highlight powder.

    High St Kensington had a whole stack of the Limited Collection items if anyone is searching for them.

    Might stop off at Victoria on the way to work tomorrow and try again on the SS tills there :) I still have 5 perkies to use!

    ** Oh, and despite what I first thought, I managed to womble 2 of the new till spits this afternoon at HSK. Seems people are just leaving them behind at tills/exits as they leave the store.....bonus!**

    Had a good shop tonight whoo hooo!
    Way To Go Rubes! :j What a great shop :T I hope it was my 'favourite SA that served you :rotfl: ;) x

    For anyone near Monks, (or anywhere really as they were on SEL) they had these on at £1.21

    Botanics Mens Body Moisturiser 150 ml
    http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=48740&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

    I'd normally 'take a hit' and try them, but OH has masses of skincare stuff. These might have been overlooked as they were there last week too. No guarantees they'd work on 342 either, but worth a try if anyone likes them. hths. Off to catch up.

    i went to boots at 5:30 and picked up 2 wipes and a highlighter. my thinking was one wipes free (342) then hand over highlighter voucher and then perkie...grand totla of £2.

    BUT the coupon for the highlighter beeped and the sa just over rode the price to 0.00. this meant that the 0.00 was seen as the cheapest so took this of as the 342 - perkie was £7.xx...


    So i did get the free highlighter but not a great saving
    And truth be told I miss you...
    And truth be told I'm lying

    On .com, the 'Blue Grass' EDP 50ml from Elizabeth Arden is in stock again at £10. If you buy 2, you'll get 1000 points back, and if you buy 3, you'll get the free tote bag.

    Also, could be combined with laundry liquid as back in stock. HTH someone

    Sorry to sound a bit simple, but I really want to use my vouchers without the embarassment I had today :o, but you said you put highlights voucher through first. Did you do it before pressing 'finish & pay' or after and use the 'coupons' button? And same question for the perkie.

    Sorry to need things spelt out for me, but very nervous about going back to same store tomorrow, dont think I could cope if SS till breaks down on me again :o:o:o:o.


    Hi

    No worries - sorry I didnt use SS tills as my store doesn't have them.

    Gave SA the Highlight Vouchers then the NO7 Voucher.

    Good luck for tomorrow. I think I was lucky though (reading posts) because some stores are not accepting these vouchers without the dreaded beep.

    great shop Dee:T did you get these in our local?


    Hi

    Thanks Sally.

    No - I got them in St A. after work - they have quite a few of the reduced lip laquers and lipsticks in there. It was my first Boots shop since I have been back from my mini break.

    I slipped up today, but not too upset.
    I had the highlighter voucher from ACm - although why on earth I would want anymore after all those we got free with 25p sachets last year thanks to Sally06, goodness knows.
    Anyway, I wanted another glasses case and I have 2 perkies still to use, my thinking was that if I got 2 glasses cases and the highlighter, one of the glasses cases would be taken off with the 342, then the highlighter would be taken off with the ACM coupon, then the perkie would take off another £5, leaving only a few pence to pay, but it didn't work.
    The highlighter voucher beeped whan the SA put it through, so she had to over ride it, she told me that I should go and fetch another No7 item as they were on 342, I said I wasn't bothered, thinking I would still get the 342 anyway, but it didn't come up as pence, it came up as £5.80, I thought she hadn't taken the perkie off, but she had. So I got her to put it through again, still came up the same, so we added a credit card holder, which went through as free, obviously with her having to over ride the highlighter, it didn't count on the 342.
    I ended up with 2 glasses cases, a credit card holder and a highlighter, approx £28 worth of stuff for £5.80, so still pleased.

    I didn't get any of the other No 7 vouchers offered from the ACM, although wouldn't have wanted them anyway. I did get a Neal's yard voucher offered to me, can't remember what it was as I didn't print it out.

    I still have a perkie left and another highlighter voucher from my friend's card, not decided if I'm going to just spend it one item and the free highlighter or try the 342 again.
