    Excellent i'm much less confused now ( i think) no really that all makes sense thank you very much

    Next question should i use a manned till or should i use the self service ones?? does it matter what voucher i hand over first

    gonna try get myself some bargains from mini mode for my new arrival

    thanks again

    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...

    I visited a rebranded Alliance Chemist that is now able to give and take all Boots vouchers. :)
    During the first 6 weeks of re-opening, the store has been giving out these vouchers:
    £2 off wys £10 and £1 off wys £5.
    It may be worth checking out any newly refurbished branches ladies, as they may have similar offers. :)

    I bought the No7 Intelligent Colour Foundation @ £14.40, plus
    No7 Perfect Light Translucent Loose Powder,
    which is usually £10.30. Today it was reduced to a lovely £2.50.

    I used the £2 off wys £10 instore promo voucher,
    £5 off wys £10 on No7 voucher,
    £1 off wys £5 instore promo voucher.
    So I saved £8.00, which left £8.90 to pay.

    I didn't use the 3 4 2 as the cheapest item I had was only £2.50 and they didn't have any other reduced items.
    But I am very pleased with my shop. :)

    I got the latest £5 off skincare Wrinklie too, which I hope I will use wisely.;)

    If i want to buy one highlighter and 2 liplicious, and use the free highlighter and £5 off no7 (hopefully leaving ~£4.50 to pay)...does anyone know which order I should hand over the vouchers in???

    Any advice appreciated!!

    Personally, would go to SS tills as on the manned tills they might b funny 4 u using the 342 combo with the Highlights Powder which is already free... might just happen they tell u to get a 4th item & this would mean u end up paying more... re which voucher scans 1st I don't really think it matters but would probably put the Highlights one 1st in case n e issues this voucher would have already been scanned... HTH & Good Luck! ;)

    Hopefully I can give you some answers tomorrow Vaz. I don't even have any of the new vouchers yet.

    Vaz119, don't think it will work I'm afraid from what I've read from previous posts... so u'd buy the following:

    Highlights Free
    Liplicious @ £9
    Liplicious @ £9 (free on 342)

    The tills c's the total as total £19 but as the Highlights is already Free with the voucher and the Liplicious cost is under £10 I think ur £5 voucher won't work; u need an item for £10 or more; it might b a good idea purchasing the Highlights/ Liplicious/ another cosmetic item for £10 or over so the £5 can come off this item... so u'd have the following combo?

    Highlights Free
    Another cosmetic item for £10 or more (use the £5 voucher against this product)
    Liplicious @ £9 (free on 342)

    So now ur total would b the cosmetic item minus the £5; say 4 example, if the cosmetic item was £10 u'd end up paying £5 (using the £5 voucher)... hope it's not too confusing, lol! Also, experienced Bootsers, if the above is incorrect, plz advise...

    That photo of me was taken only last week.
    As you can see I am a really cute little bear, honest. Ask Mr Heston.:D
