  • handing over the £5 voucher then free highlighter one? The highlighter is £10 to theoretically £5 off that could be used. Once that discount has been applied, the nex voucher dedcuts the full price of the highlighter?

    Could it have been that?

    don't think anyones mentioned it yet (sorry if i've missed it) but all S&G has a 1/3rd off if you pay with points...wish i'd known last week, i bought the shower stuff with points :(

    couldn't get any of the 3 acm's to work so i have o idea until sat if i have any different vouchers..not a good bootsing day

    i love S and G so I will now have to go and look - where do they mark up that its cheaper with points? problem is stores here are diabolical when i try to spend points so i usually save them for one or two big items so they cant get it wrong :eek:

    Great post Suzi_69, very helpful

    ok so mission for tomorrow is some kind of superdooper deal with No7. I'm thinking:

    Glyco peel: 8.80 after voucher
    Highlight powder thing 0.00 after voucher
    Reduced petal pallette 0.00 free on 342

    use £5 off voucher

    total=£3.80


    i could have completely lost the plot with all these vouchers and how to use them - i am yet to get any of the peel etc ones :rolleyes: anyhow in your above plan of action and othes i have seen other people have done the way of getting the best saving is for the third item to be same price as the next cheapest i think.

    for example from your quote

    Glyco peel: 8.80 after voucher
    Highlight powder thing 0.00 after voucher
    Reduced petal pallette 0.00 free on 342 ...... instead of this find another No7 item that is as close to £8.80 as possible

    use £5 off voucher

    total=£3.80 then the total will still work the same but your third item will not be something cheap and reduced. this would be my logic if i get the vouchers and can do this as you save more money. or am i logically doing maths but boots doesnt think the same????

    help any boots voucher experts? :rolleyes:

    firstly, well done to everyone who picked up the berry bags for 32p:TI've been out bootsing all day and didn't have a clue these were reduced, otherwise I would have looked for them:rolleyes:

    I started my bootsing marathon at sedley place. OMG, there was 2 almost naked men standing outside the store promoting a self tan product. I have no idea what brand it was. I was too busy checking out the 6 packs...honest;):rotfl:nothing of interest at sedley...apart from the near naked men and a few stray £5 skincare vouchers:)

    I had a quick look in the bond street store, but hardly anything on the clearance shelf. They had the usual No7 foundations reduced.

    Then I walked up to marble arch. I couldn't see a clearance shelf anywhere, so left pronto, picking up a £5 skincare voucher someone threw in a basket near the door:) "one man's rubbish is another man's treasure":rotfl:I think this will make a good sig...time to change mine:)

    I hopped on the tube to westfield, to see what I'd been missing. It is a lot nicer than I thought it would be. They have lots of my favourite shops:) including boots of course:D I didn't see a general clearance shelf, but they had lots of No7 reductions on a stand opposite the No7 counter. I remember seeing: lisa Elridge palletes, foundations, lippies and lip gloss. No7 lady said they didn't go through on 3 4 2, but I'm sure they do! I didn't spend too much time there, but long enough to womble 6 x £5 skincare vouchers:) OMG, that place is a womblers paradise. The floor was littered with vouchers. I could've got a least 5 more, but I didn't want crawl around on my hands and knees:rotfl:

    Finally, I went to the small store in the little shopping centre opposite shep bush station. They had a small clearance shelf with some condoms, 99p, expert sensitive moisturiser, also reduced to 99P (I would have bought these because I have 100points ACM vouchers for this product, but the queue was too long:rolleyes:), MF mesh bag, £1.50 (although it would scan for 0.00 if it didn't have a clearance sticker on it) and a 17 eye pallete GWP, £1

    I visited 5 stores and came away with just a few boujois nail polish:eek:Mr B, you need to try a little harder to get me to part with my cash:rolleyes:

    I think the third item has to be cosmetic and for £10 for the glitch to work. I may be wrong though, but I have given this a lot thought:rotfl:

    Noticed 2 SELs back to front today.. both read RECALL.. 1st one we know is the Dentyl.. 2nd one was mens botanics ( exfoliating = i think ) body wash. I just had to be nosey + lift them out a bit to read them + pass on info lol. HTH

    I spotted a sign up in one of the stores I went into and I remember seeing 3 products on it, but I thought they were all dental products:confused:

    it didnt because it needs to be cosmetics at £10 or above..... i think :rolleyes: tnhis is my logic brain so of course boots tills will probably say different.

    the answer to use all vouchers from what i can see is
    highlights
    peel
    £10 item cosmetics only - if it was me id go for a foundation if they are at that price as i need one! :D

    so then the highlights should be free, one item is free in 3 for 2 (ie cheapest which is peel) and then 5 off the cosmetics so the grand total would then be £5! which is a bargain i just need machine to give me vouchers now i know whats best way of spending them :rotfl:

    i can do the maths and logic as i have a degree in that junk but boots till behaviour is beyond that and i never know whats going to happen :eek:

    i agree as well now 3rd item needs to be £10 cosmetics only - ive not got any of the vouchers so cant read them to see what they say!

    btw as i am new to this thread and ive just always done boots bargain hunting am i to believe that if my partner has a boots card (ie i have it and get him stuff as hes too pazy to do bargain hunts) i can get different vouchers????? we use botanics stuff all the time so that would be great for us - half of his stuff i find is better for me than what i buy :rotfl:
