    Ok here goes I'm a little old school when it comes to boots, get vouchers from machine use them at till don't think about it too much(got quite a large stash of points saved over the years, keep saying gonna use them on big splurge, but then hold of and use a little here an there)

    Not that long found this thread and have been trying to work back but think I'm just confusing myself more
    I need help with "the magic 3" can be a bit thick sometime (38 week baby bump doesn't help much either

    I got today 1/2 price No7 glycolic peel voucher and also the free No7 Illuminating powder.......HELP what else do I need to do??

    Would really appreciate somebody giving me an idiots guide and just telling me what to buy and how to do it

    Oh also got the baby mag today with the 20% mini mode voucher does this defo take an additional 20% off the price that is already reduced??

    Thanks

    Hi,
    Oldham is my local. it's rubbish for bargains,
    although i did get an expert deodrant for 50p the other day and got 50pts with acm voucher,
    not been since monday, so don't know if i'l get the No7 acm vouchers,

    Hi geni62

    Yep, Oldham is pretty rubbish for bargains but in the north-west we never seem to get reductions like other areas do. I finally saw the Nivea lip trio today but still full price. Manchester Arndale doesn't have much at all in terms of reductions or clearance. Rochdale is better but I can only go at weekend and the reduced SEL shelves are usually empty.
  • Hi Everyone

    Mum had a quick shop yesterday and came home with bags and bags of 24 hour protection deodorant marked down to 20p. :j

    I picked up in the week a Mini Mode Babygrow was £7 then 1/2 so marked down to £3.50 then by using the Baby Magazine i got an extra £1.40 off......So fab gift for £2.10.

    I got the berry bag for £1.25 in Lakeside ...Which im pleased with but hey if your getting them for 32p then thats even better...Lakeside never seem to have fab bargains like that....
    S&G Purses still full price..

    I haven't had a chance to get my new Atm vouchers yet.... can't wait to go this weekend...Have made lots of notes.
    Work just gets in the way of Bootsing....

    Thanks to everyone with the shopping lists and tips x:A

  • Hi Everyone,

    Can someone tell me if the new £5 Binnie is a Till Spit or a proper voucher? I'm going to a large Boots tomorrow & always manage to womble some! I had no luck at all with the Pooeys (?)........hard to detect & embarressing when picking up other peoples till receipts like a tramp :eek::eek::eek:.
    I thought I would treat myself after a session of Hydrotherepy at the Hospital in the morning!

    Thanks
    Dx

    I've only been given tillspits so far. But, while in Boots today, I saw a "book" of £5 vouchers that had the same brands on as the tillspit (was on the side of the till IYKWIM? ie to hand for the SA) and I wondered if they were going to be given out too. These were white with blue/purple writing.

    I also got Boots 24hr deodorant for 18p + 50 points back each time. :T

    BUT it does beep. SA added the points manually.

    Would really appreciate somebody giving me an idiots guide and just telling me what to buy and how to do it

    OK, u have the following:

    Gycolic @ £8.80 (as u have the 1/2 price voucher);
    Illuminating @ £0.00 (free voucher)
    Get another No7 item less then £10 (so the 342 promotion kicks in & this becomes free 2)

    With the Highlights free & ur 3rd item free (on 342) u'd have to pay £8.80 for the Gycolic... also the reason why I've suggested u buy a 3rd item less then the price of the Illuminating powder is coz I don't know if the tills would take an extra £10 off another item if ur Highlights was the cheapest on 342 (this worked quite well with the previous 'Magic 3' vouchers when one had the Line Lift voucher but I feel this will not work now)... hope have not been very confusing... So 3 items on a £8.80 spend? HTH

    Well, the good news is it takes 20% off the original price, so say u have an item which is 1/2 price @ £5 (the original price was £10) the 20% would take another £2 off so u'd end up paying £3 instead of £4 (had the 20% voucher worked on the reduced price)... again HTH...

    Has anyone been offered more than one highlights voucher from the ACM? I had mine a few weeks ago before I knew about the magic 3! I have the new peel one which I don't really want (got a couple of the line lift ones that have now expired) but would love to use it along with a highlighter one, 342 and my £5 off cosmetic one.
    There's a skinny woman inside me screaming to be let out. A cookie soon shuts her up!!! :rotfl:

    Evening All,
    Well done CPG on your points win - regard it as a payback for all the great work you do keeping this thread up to date! Thanks for the link to the Origins Pump too.
    Don't post much but had a really good shop today - even the SA was impressed; she also told me that she threw away her vouchers :eek:

    Won't post the full list as mainly baby stuff for which I've been hording my vouchers. Ended up

    Total Spend: £21.22
    Total Saved: £71.79
    Total Points Gained: 1692 :D
    In Boots login, total spend was £4.30 :j Don't ya just love it.
    Got all I needed to make up a baby basket for a friend - brill.

    This is all thanks to the fabbie people who take the time to post on this thread :A

    All my glitches have put £25 in points on my card, so I treated myself to the Urban Decay Sustainable Eyeshadow Box. I think I'm in love!

    Its fab aint it. I have it and wear the green a lot. I always get comments on it and people asking for the name of it.
