    Just been bootsing - got some vouchers in the acm for £5 off no 7 when you spen £10, free Illumination powder voucher and the 1/2 price glyco peel.

    Thought i'd be cheeky and try them all together - and it worked!! So:

    Illuminating powder £10 but free with voucher
    Glyco peel 1/2 price so £8.80
    Face wipes £6.40 but free on 342

    Then £5 off with the no 7 voucher!!

    Also got a boots deoderant for 20p!

    Happy Happy Happy

    well done CM66:T I got really excited when I inserted my ADV card into the ACM this morning. It gave me the 1/2 price peel voucher, free HL voucher and several £5 off No7 vouchers:jHowever, when I took the peel, HL and a No7 eye liner to the SS till, the £5 No7 voucher didn't deduct £5 from the total, it deducted £2:confused:

    The SA came over and told me to insert my vouchers as I scan them. I told her I was going to do it at the end of the transaction when I know all the vouchers have scanned properly (Just as well I did that, because if I hadn't they would have been wasted) I asked the SA if I could void the transaction and start again, because I thought I'd scanned the vouchers in the wrong order. She took me to a different till, but the £5 No7 voucher still deducted £2 instead of £5:mad:I gave up in the end:rolleyes:I just bought a few of the boujois nail polish that's on offer at the moment and used my pooeys - paying £1.37 for each one:)

    Off to catch up now. I hope everyone else had better luck with their no7 vouchers than I did:rolleyes:

    BTW, I visited 5 stores today:eek:will be back with a report shortly...

    EDIT: I've just realised why the till deducted £2, it's because the BJ nail polish is on offer at the moment -£2, doh!

    Looks like you paid £8.80 for No7 stuff ( so poss 1/2 price glycol peel ), all your other shopping amounts to £9.73 ( so diff with this and price paid is £8.80), I think the £5 off didn't work
    wonder if this is because the till doesn't take it off for reduced cosmetics?

    Had quite a bootsing day today!
    Started at Watford Harlequin, found a pair of lovely SA's who were laughing with me when I kept getting things price checked with them. They said I was showing them all the bargains! bought
    2 x NC bags - £1.23 (not 32p and some left on shelf)
    Bourjois varnish remover - £2.44 - 44p after pooey
    17 wipes still 99p and kind SA put the No17 GWP through for me (Till beeped but I don't think they realised I was supposed to spend £5 :rolleyes:)
    Balm Balm Rose £1.50 (not as cheap as others have found)
    Travel holdall £2.45 (they didn't have the one with the bottles)

    Schol party feet bags weren't reduced
    No Nivea Lipglosses

    Then I popped to Waterfields
    Found 2 Nivea lipglosses

    they had a Ted Baker box and a couple of Ruby and Mille ones on the clearance shelf but not cheap enough to tempt me!
    No NC bags or travel ones :mad:

    Popped into Borehamwood
    No NC bags or Travel ones. No Schol party feet bags. I think there were some Nivea lipglosses though but I have plenty now!

    I did find FCUK 75ml body sprays reduced to £1.45. The till made them go through as more but the SA checked the shelf edger and put them through for me.

    With the £5 skincare voucher, can anyone please tell me what the cheapest product you can use it to buy something with?
    Thanks

    Had a quick look through .com & these items seem to be the cheapest (one is a mans product, unsure if this will work, as the voucher doesn't specify) This list may not cover all items, though, cos things don't always come up for the same cost on .com as in store & aren't always listed properly, either:

    Regenerist Cream Wash £6.99

    L'Oreal Men Wrinkle Decrease Skin Renovator £5.82 ** Mens **

    Time Delay Wrinkle Reduce Eye Cream £6.84

    Time Delay Skin Treatments Radiance Booster £6.84

    HTH,

    Suzi ;0)
    Everything I wanna do is either illegal, immoral or fattening! lol :rotfl:

    ACM gave me
    £5 when you spend £10 on N07 cosmetics
    Half price Glycolic Peel (a day after my line lift ones expired!)
    50 points when you buy 17 nail varnish

    Also got a £5 facial skincare till split. Are we calling the Binnies???!
    I highly recommend this with your Binnie. I'm got one last time (was it a wrinkly then??!) and want another one to keep in my bag)

    I really want one of the travel bags with the bottles. Does anyone know if there are any left in London Colney?

    My thinking would be:

    Hand over the £5 off No7 1st, as the first total would be about £26 if the Body Polish stuff is on 3for2. Then the Highlights and the Glyco Peel in any order.

    Does that sound about right? I'm still quite new to Bootsing, and I can find bargains on a clearance shelf but the glitches make my head hurt :rotfl:

    Also, those of you who have got those bags for 32p - is this on the SEL? They have this set in my local Boots but it still shows as over £4 for the set.

    All help gratefully received!

    I'm sure I scanned the £5 off voucher first...or was it the HL voucher:ooh dear, I can't remember now:rolleyes:does it really make a difference what order you scan the vouchers? I will give it another shot tomorrow. "Try and try until you succeed" is my new motto:rotfl:

    Today I got
    • glyco peel - half price with voucher
    • highlights - free with voucher
    • face cream - free on 3 for 2
    Tried the £5 off no7 it didn't work ( no beep, just didn't take it off) felt brave and asked sa why the £5 didn't come off was told it was because I didn't spend £10 on cosmetics - fair enough but I wonder if I it is because I handed her the voucher last :rolleyes: meaning I hadn't spend £10 at all !!

    Nivea £1.23 but not of 3 for 2 same as others have mentioned

    Boots deo 20p

    S & G Blueberry & Peach butters 25% off

    Loads and loads of Mini Mode at 70% off ( 50% & 20% off ) thanks to the mser who spotted this

    Sally Hansen miracle something £2..
    Busy mum of 3, so if my posts don't make sense or ask a silly question be patient:rotfl:

    Sally Hansen miracle something £2..

    I had Sally Hansen on my shopping list today. But I didn't know what exactly I was looking for and no bargains jumped out at me. Can you tell me exactly what it is please?
