    Hiya

    Generally the No7 GWPs get sold off on clearance, quite often for £6.50 then cheaper when they don't sell. For other brands they often go through at 0.00 but it can be a case of trial and error. I tried for a MF one recently and although it went through at 0.00 the SA noticed it and went to check with the MF SA. I just said oh they weren't priced so I didn't know what they were for!!! worth trying and you can always say you don't want it if it comes up with a silly price!!!! HTH

    Forgot to say keep an eye out on this thread also as people often post if an old GWP is going through at 0.00!!!!
  • Hi all, in Crawley Boots today the Nivea Happy Time shower gel/body lotion sets were on a display at full price, but all the Nivea shower gels were reduced to £1, including the Happy Time one. This was on the normal shelf in among the other shower gels.

    Near the shampoos there was a hanging thing with Sally Hansen Miracle Cure (blue one) down to £2.24. Also on another hanging thing in the same area, Boots Georgeous make up brushes and tweezers (the ones with animal print) down to £1.25.

    Couldn't see any of the reduced bags or Nivea lipbalms. There was a small clearance display near the lifts at the back that just had tights and stockings on it. then upstairs another clearance display opposite the tills with a few sun tan lotions, nail varnish and other random bits.

    There was a big display for the new Alli weight loss thing at the front of the store, with a Alli rep on hand to answer questions. She said that people were also getting 300 points when they bought it if they got the coupon out of the points machine. The weighing machine/BMI thing was free today, and not just for people interested in the Alli tablets.
    Hope that helps some Sussex bootsers.

    this fcuk bag was reduced in Reading Broad Street to £5.xx but still £15 in the Oracle.

    http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplaystoreId=10052&productId=45846&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

    ...
    in 500ml was reduced to £10.xx in the Oracle whereas the 250ml is normally £14. would have got the shower stuff (I think Skibster mentioned it) at £7.xx but the SA wasn't going to give me the gwp so just bought the honey drops cream.

    ...

    The link to the fcuk bag didn't work; can you post again?

    Also, I actually did get the gwp with the two EA shower gels, but I took it to another till (not the EA till). The gwp actually did beep, so perhaps they really are meant to be with a 50 quid spend like she told me when I asked last week. I thought she was just trying to increase sales, as you can get the gwp with any two items online regardless of how much your total spend is. Anyway, the gwp beeped and just as I was about to say "I'll leave it all then", the SA went ahead and put it in my bag! So I just got lucky, lol. Although since I didn't really need any of it, I would've been just as lucky if I'd had to leave it, lol.

    Well I went into the Boots where I work and used my card at the card point and all that was on offer was prize entries, this was the same two days later. I then went into Boots where I live and they don't even have a card point, I would have thought that all shops had one, it's only fair surely.

    Good evening ladies, and gents.

    I have a little glitch for you on the No 7 Age Rewind products (3) . There is £5 off each product, but it works out more advantageous than that

    I have priced it out and I have included prices also for the over 60's 10% discount. (Health club)

    Even if you don't qualify, you may be able to place an order for your Mum/dad/aunty etc, so if you have that option, make sure you take it.


    a)...Age rewind Day Cream - Was £17.60...

    3 = £52.80
    less....17.60
    less....15.00


    Total cost for 3 day creams = £20.20.
    With the over 60 10% discount cost for 3 = £14.92

    This how it works:-

    Order 3 and the till deducts
    3 x £5 = £15
    1 x £17.60 (the full price of the FREE product)


    b)Age rewind Intensive Serum was £17.10
    The same principle applies.

    Till deducts
    3 x £5.00
    1 x £17.10

    Total cost for 3 products = £19.20
    With Over 60 discount 3x will cost £14.07


    c) Age rewind Night cream

    Same principle again as above

    Total cost for 3 = £22.20
    with 10% over 60 discount £16.62

    So for 9 products total cost = £61.60 or £6.84 each

    If you can use a card with the over 60 discount total cost for 9 products = £45.61 or £5.06 each


    Electrical /Reduction - Does not include 342

    No 7 foot spa is Now reduced to £15.66
    less 10% Health club discount for over 60's ONLY

    = £11.74 each

    If you need to make up your order to get free postage, don't forget that the washing up liquid will give you 50 extra pts.

    If you don't want that, try

    Boots Expert range is BOGOHP
    Radox is £1 for the bath thingy

    Don't forget your code for extra pts here

    Pollsdolls, I'm liking the look of this! Can I just confirm, you are suggesting this offer is on .com, is that right?
