    didnt find much at Edinburgh Gyle today. Could find much reduced on the shelves apart from Sanctuary sachets at 33p, some FCUK hair sculpt minis at £1.25 i think.
    on clearance got some teeth whitening pens reduced to 88p
    I was at Edinburgh Gyle yesterday too! hellowave.gif

    I did a little better:

    2 x Sanctuary gift sets (4xBody Butters in a nice box) @ £2.45 each
    1 x Shaving set for t'other half (Shaving brush, little stand and a shaving creme) for £2.40ish

    When I went (lunchtime) there were also loads of vanilla bath bombs for 45p. Same old No7 stuff reduced as always.

    Edinburgh Fort had some reduced stuff, but all stuff I had already got for cheaper :rotfl: Happy Time sets were £2.46 for the shower creme and body lotion.

    Hi there, where is the reduced stand in Edin Fort? I can never find it! I usually nip into the wee Boots in West Maitland St, cos although its small its usually got great bargains! The girls in there know me know and actually put stuff aside for me! They're brill!

    I'm just off to the Fort shortly, havent been Bootsing for a while as had mega amounts to get through!

    Hve a great day all!


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    Go in the left hand door and walk down the main aisle, it's just beside the kids toys.

    HTH!

    I was thinking ............. if you just bought a Highlights and a Glycopeel, and used the 2 vouchers, would the Highlights be free, because of the voucher, and would £10 be deducted from the half price cost of the Glycopeel?

    So, in effect, you'd get the 2 items for nothing, and £1.20 in change?

    I don't know if this would work, and in any event, I don't want either item, but just wondered!

    Don't think this would work SS!;) If u purchased both the above items as suggested & used the Highlights free coupon + Glyco 1/2 price u'd have to pay £8.80 as the till wouldn't deduct another £10 off the Illuminating Powder... what u suggest only works if there r 3 items & on 342 the Highlights is the cheapest item (so free already on 342); coz this is already free & due 2 the glitch another £10 come off another item... hope have not been 2 confusing, lol!:o

    Went to Southend yesterday and popped into Boots at the Royals Shopping Centre.
    Lots of clearance bits dotted around store. Saw Margaret Dabbs foot scrub and nail/cuticle oil. No 7 foaming face wash £3 odd, No 7 Day cream and Night creams £4 odd, No 7 lip lacquer's £4 odd I think. Scholl Intensive Overnight Foot cream with socks £3 odd. Various hair bits: sprays missing lids etc. Some men's deoderant sprays.
    Several Boots Foot Care Regime packs: 3 tubs in a clear plastic tube - foot fizz/soak, foot scrub and foot butter at £1.96 each down from £8. Boots Ball of Foot pads £1.60.
    Managed to pick up some nice little bargains (Flexitol Foot Scrub 70p, Scholl Foot Powder 79p, Nivea Sport spray 60p etc) and used my last £2 coupon on Bourjois nail file so very happy.
    Olay Total Effects face wash was running low but maybe because it is the cheapest thing with binnie, everyone is snapping it up!

    Just remembered something else! They had a stand with Soap & Glory stuff on: save a third when you pay with points. Sorry I can't remember exactly what was on it: Shower cream definitely and body butter I think.

    3 items on the 3 4 2 will work Sandra.
    If the £10 Highlights Powder is already the free item an extra £10 will come off of the other shopping you have.
    Do you have a £5 off wyb No7 voucher, if so you can use that with the other 2 vouchers to get a better deal.
    How about this
    1 x Glycolic Peel @ £17.60
    1 x New P&P Face Serum @ £19.25
    1 x Highlights @ £10

    Till will deduct the free item (Highlights). Sub Total = £36.85
    Then deduct the extra £10 for your Highlights Voucher. Sub Total = £26.85
    Then deduct £8.80 for the 1/2 price peel voucher. Sub Total = £18.05
    £5 off No7 voucher. Sub Total = £13.05
    Less your 10 % reduction = £11.75 to pay.

    New P&P on its own less the £5 wyb No7 voucher =£14.25
    Less your extra 10% = £12.83

    Best combo for the Peel and Highlights Vouchers will be
    1 x Peel £17.60
    1 x Any No7 item approx £10.30 (like a Mascara)
    1 x Highlights £10
    Highlights is free on 3 4 2 = £27.90
    Less and extra £10 for Highlights voucher = £17.90
    Less 1/2 price peel =£9.10
    Less your 10% = £8.19
    But with the £5 off voucher and all other discounts total will be £3.69

    Right off to lie down now. All this maths has worn me out.
    Do you actually want the Peel though? Or the Highlights?

    Also, if you can get hold of a "£5 off No 7" voucher, if you do the above, but change the lipgloss for a No 7 item costing over £10, the till will still deduct the £10 for the highlights & take the £5 off for the 3rd item, usually leaving a balance of only £5-ish to pay - as far as I understand from previous posts.


    S xx

    that's correct suzi:Dthe £5 ACM will only work if you buy a cosmetic item priced at £10 or over when combining the voucher with the highlights voucher.

    If you are using the £5 ACM voucher alone, it will work with 3 4 2 and you get a better deal, because the £10 total spend includes the 3 4 2 total before BOGOF kicks in. I probably haven't explained that very well:o, but this is what I bought the other day:

    6 x lip laquer, reduced to £2 each. Total before BOGOF = £12, total after BOGOF kicks in £8, then I handed over £5 ACM voucher. Total to pay= £3:D
