Hi I am Mad :hello:

Haven't seen you on here for yonks- hope you're ok hun

I've copied an explanation of how to use the magic 3 No 7 vouchers below. It is important to note that you must scan the items in a certain order as well as hand the vouchers over in a set order as well- otherwise you may well find the till beeps! HTH.

Hi Amy, Welcome to mse boots

Well I will answer you as it only takes a minute and whilst the first post has alot of info on it, it does not contain your answer. Yes you could read the thread, but you may not realise from doing so that there is an order in which you must use the vouchers and scan the items

Scan the items in this order:
No7 Glycolic Peel
No7 Linelift
No7 High lights powder

Use the vouchers in this order(all from advantage card machine if you are lucky enough):
Free N07 Linelift
Free No7 High lights Powder
1/2 price No7 Glycolic Peel

This will leave you with a credit of £1.20(so buy something else!) and you will get a till spit for £2

The £2 till spit is off of:
max factor
l'oreal
revlon
bourjois

Bargains to be had with this are the bourjois tweezers or glass nail file(at the bottom of the stands) for 93p i think, or the polish remover, or the l'oreal palettes that have 3 shades and are in black cases, currently already have £2 off, so are around £2.xx after the voucher. Or if you get a max factor gwp(gwp is good will purchase and is one of the freebies for buying things) which are currently scanning at £0.00(black mesh bag with white flower) they contain a voucher off of max factor madcara and it can be used in conjuction with the till spit for £2, which is currently being called a 'pooey'(don't ask!)

You said please twice and the information that you have to scan the items and vouchers in a certain order was not easily readable, so I have no issue with you asking!

Hope you manage to get all 3 no7 bits, plus max factor bags and oddles of stuff for pennies and if you have a mega shop then please come back and share as so many of us love to hear about it as you could save well over 340 which is fabby!

Hi,

Only have the Glyco peel voucher is the anything I can get with this on the 3 for 2 to make it worthwhile using it?

I've been searching the thread but can't seem to find anyone having just used this voucher, only the magic 3 or 2.

Should I just throw this in the bin?, havn't been Bootsing much so i'm really out of touch at the mo.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you all for your lovely shopping list I love reading them :T

Hi Voucher Queen

Please don't throw your voucher in the bin. A couple of weeks ago, I only got the free illuminating powder one. Then last week, went to Boots, put my card in ACM and they gave me the line one. So pop along to Boots on Wednesday, put your card in the ACM, and hopefully, fingers crossed, you will get another voucher for one of the magic three. They don't expire until 21/4, so you still have time. Good luck.

I just bought:
no7 Peel 8.80
no7 line lift 0.00
no7 softening foot balm 0.00

17 wipes 99p
17 nail polish 0.00

Tony & guy colour shampoo 2.88
meal deal with 3 cream eggs 2.99

total to pay £15.66

used peel, line lift, T&G mailing voucher (£2 off),T&G mag coupon 150 points and double points coupon. Also tried to use >£20 spend coupon and put it in the machine (self service) before I heard spend not met. Might have worked if I'd put it through first.

Could I have done better appart from buying more expensive no7 that I wouldn't have used?

Got 2 more peel and 2 more lift vouchers from acm.

Hi

I would always hand over or use on the SS till, the £20 spend coupon first, because once the till starts deducting vouchers, it will say minimum spend not met.

Sorry can't be more help with your shopping list but to me it sounds like you did great.

Its not online. Think it was calpol anyway not boots own brand?

thank you moneysavingmumofoneBoots are selling their own brand antibacterial handwash for £1 and I had a 30 points voucher if you buy this brand. I only needed another 24 points to buy the nappies, thought I needed more, and needed the handwash. Also used my recyclable bag, so got 31 points and bought nappies with the points.

Glad you managed to get the nappies in the end, was racking my brains to think of a cheap points booster but not much around at the moment is there! :rolleyes: Ive not been bootsing for ages, will probably pop in on thursday to use my 17 mascara and free elle exfoliator mailing vouchers but apart from that not much incentive to shop at boots at the moment.

Thank you for posting that, just before I went on my lunch break!

The SA called over a No7 SA to put it through, no problem though - do the No7 SA earn commission?

I managed to get the 'Magic 3' - also got a L'Oreal Eyeliner with my £2 'spit', till receipt looks like so:

***3 for 2***
Peel - 8.80
Line Lift - .00
Powder - 10.00 NOW .00
Saving £10.00

***Link Save***
(Includes previous Peel)
(Includes previous Powder)
Saving £10.00 Now -£10.00

***Save Cosmetics Voucher***
L'Oreal Kohl Crayon £4.20
Saving £2.00 NOW £2.20

***Save***
(Includes previous L'Oreal Kohl Crayon)
Saving £1.00 NOW -£1.00

---

The L'Oreal Kohl Crayon seems to have been free! :T

As I also bought some neccessities, and my whole spend came to £6.19, which when I added it up was just the cost of my neccessities!

Tried to work it out, but not sure why they deducted an extra £1.

Not complaining though! Also earned another spit and used double points voucher.

Total Savings: £44.50 :rotfl:

(Now wondering if I could have used my earn 300points when spend £35 ACM voucher if I'd put it through first... )

Thank you! I was going to stand in my little Boots asking the SA what had the right number of points for the least amount of spend...LOL.

Can't afford to boots much, so not bothered there are no glitches, unless they are free.

Hi Emma!

Fantastic shop!:T

Yes, if you had put your extra points voucher through first, you would have got extra points, then put rest of vouchers through.

cheery_emma

Aah, thank you. I'll know for next time. Still got another set of 'Magic 3' vouchers, so will go play again soon!

I've also got a £10 Boots vouchers on way from Pigsback - can I still gain points/minimum spends points if I spend a voucher?

Yep, a Boots voucher is treated the same way as cash
