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

    Yes, its on dot com. It's possibly in store as well, but whether the till would make the same deductions is anyones guess.

    I think it is more likely that it won't be as good. Its unusual for the full price of the free product to be deducted from the total as well. I have placed my order and topped it up with some washing up liquid, just for good measure. ;)I love Boots

    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.

    Sorry, told you it was my first time with links :ohttp://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=45846&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051 flying_fresian, I tried to do the short link think but it wouldn't let me right click and paste :confused:

    Lucky you Skibster, getting the EA gwp :T did you just pick it up from the stand at the bottom? I always think there are too many SA's watching there t be able to just pick one up :rolleyes:

    Where is everyone BTW? SOooo quiet on here today.

    When I first tried it, I only put one of each item in my basket & then it only deducted £15 + £12.70 for the cheapest item.

    But if I put 3 of just ONE item in my basket, it deducts £15 + 1 x Full Price of Item (eg £17.60).

    Six items (3 of two items) works, as does 9 items (3 of 3 items)

    Therefore, in summary, it only seems to work in multiples of 3 of each item!

    HTH

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

    Okies, I will try and explain a bit more clearly (I think my directions before may have been a little wonky!)

    Copy the link from wherever you want, in your case it was this long link: http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=45846&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

    Type what text you want to display on the shortened link, I am going to use FCUK Bag (only put this in bold to illustrate, bold not required)

    Highlight the FCUK Bag text only. When you are posting you should see various buttons above the post, for making text bold or changing the colour. There is an icon (On my display it's the 11th from the left) which looks like a globe with a paperclip below it. Click that button while the FCUK Bag text is highlighted.

    It will open a box to "Insert Link" If you paste in the original link and then click ok you should see that the text will then link to the page.

    FCUK Bag

    Hope that helps a little more! If in doubt, just practice!

    hi indian girl,

    i think i might have posted a couple of weeks ago that i managed to get that same bag for £2.66 :T

    it was in the clearance and then there was an extra 3rd off fcukstuff as well

    when i went into the same branch the other day it was back on normal shelf at regular price - utterly confusing :confused:
    bargain shopping is the only way to shop :j

    evening all:D I finally managed to drag myself out of the garden and down to boots this afternoon:) I couldn't find any of the reductions that others have found. No reduced foot creams, no reduced bags, no nivea body sets and no reduced hair products:rolleyes: clearance shelf had these10057221?wid=200&hei=250&op_sharpen=1priced at £4.xx I didn't buy any though.

    DD spotted sento minis reduced to 55p, so we bought a few:)

    My best bargain today was with my No7 vouchers. I got these:

    No7 tinted moisturiser, £10.30

    No7 high lights, £10.00 (free with ACM voucher)

    No7 cleansing body polish, £8.60 (free, as 3 4 2)

    boujois nail polish remover, £2.44

    Total before vouchers: £31.34 - total after vouchers: £5.74:j
    I used: pooey, free high lights ACM and £5 off ACM:)

    jemclajess, sounds like you had a fab birthday. I hope you enjoyed westfield as much as I did:D

    Hello,

    I have a free highlights voucher that I printed off ages ago whilst waiting to see if I would get any of the other vouchers from the magic 3. I finally got a peel voucher but when I got the highlights voucher out of my purse I realised that it ran out on April 21st. Does anyone know how strict Boots are about these vouchers? Would it still go through on the SS tills does anyone know? Thanks in advance. x

    Hi nuninge,
    It definitely won't work, not even on SS tills, dates on vouchers is one thing that Mr B seem to get right,unfortunately, sorry. Do keep checking the acm, I got one highlights voucher since the change over day (valid till the middle of May, I think?) Lot of peeps said they got one too. There is also a potential £5 off No.7 cosmetics and 1/2 price glycolic peel that can be combined! hth
