Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 53 - Post your finds here

Nuninge

Anyone thinking of buying the travall holdall with the bottles inside that has all the city names all over it, I have just opened one of mine and it is gorgeous inside. It is bright orange inside. One side is a mesh bag with a big zip across the middle that would hold alot of stuff. On the other side are 2 smaller wash bags velcroed into the main bag which have 2 clear sides and then the same city name design around the outside. In the middle of the 2 sections in another bag that is attached by velcro to the lining of the main bag and this contains 3 small screw top bottles and an atomiser too. It is lush. I've decided to get another one for another friend that does a lot of travelling tomorrow. Oh I forgot to mention that there is also a mirror keyring attached to one of the handles on the outside. I think this must have cost about £15 originally so is well worth the £3 odd it is costing now. Hope that helps someone.

I managed to use the magic 3 today for the first time, bought a few extra items, went through SS and it cost me 98p and I got 125 points, saved £43.50!

I also managed a magic 2 earlier (they had no line lift) which cost me £8.80 for all 3 items - not a bad day.

I didn't get one, I was surprised I received the £5 facial one considering I only actually spent 98p!

I quoted this post rather than your longer earlier one.

Maidstone may not have the catalogue, but yesterday both branches had the NC bags you were looking for, at £1.23. There was only one set on the shelf at the Chequers Centre branch, but about half a dozen in the Fremlin Walk branch.

thanks i didnt even know there was a chequers centre one!! :eek:i have only lived in kent 3 years and only know where certain things are still nice to know partner hasnt told me theres one there when he knows i like to look for boots bargains - he does not find it so interesting :rolleyes:

Went to Doncaster Frenchgate today (in my lunch hour). If anyone's interested, they had the nivea lip gloss trios for £1.23 on 342. There were plenty when I was there (all downstairs near the haircare / lipcare section). On clearance section upstairs, they had the reduced Johnsons Kids Sun Lotion that someone posted about a few days ago in another store (really sorry, I am useless at remembering who posted what). These were reduced to £2.50/£3.00. HTH

i would like some mini mode advice please as i am obviously being really thick! i have lots of relations with little ones and babies on the way so im planning on getting clothes as they are the easiest and cheapest thing for me to send for birthdays and xmas along with a book or something. also we are having to cut down how much we spend on presents from now on so trying to get a decent gift without spending very much.

plus theres a baby due in two weeks so i was looking for some nice new baby stuff. anyhow i found lots of things i liked in both stores which were reduced. but i looked around both stores all over the place for mini mode catalogue to find a voucher and there werent any anywhere. so how do i go about finding a catalogue and/or getting vouchers please as i dont want to pay more just becuase i cant locate a catalogue as otherwise ill just get something cute ive seen in asda.

The magazines seem to be proving quite elusive. I picked one up on my travels to Lakeside last week but seem to have lost it again and there are none in either of the Ipswich branches which is a real shame as they have some really gorgeous stuff on for half price at the moment and I've always got tonnes of children to buy for![/QUOTE]


thanks i thought i was going mad walking around looking for catalogues of course finding other bargains along the way. i am so glad i found this forum as i had no idea i was not the only one getting boots bargains. and now i know about the catalogues im not buying clothes in the sale without a catalogue voucher even if it is a sale item

that reminds me saturday in ashford boots by t k maxx (seems like road is barrey road but i dont know what that shopping section is called! lol) theres a reduction section just before you get to the till queue (not by the tills like usual) with lots of no7 sun creams and tinted moisturers. really cheap i know the prices were about £2.50 sorry description is not so good but i am too pale to worry about tanning things
