  • Mum and i were very lucky at the Beckton Branch.
    Both had the 3 Magic Vouchers and they went through with no bleeps.

    SA was a Manager....
    The panic on my poor Mums face when she got to the till with her items and Vouchers. I thought she was going to drop the basket and run for the door...
    Bootsing is not for the faint hearted... But the joy on our faces when they went through we were skipping out of the shop.
    The Manager didn't say a word... he was lovely...:j

    Thanks peeps for all your help..

    Im looking forward to the weekend and in seach of the Nc Make-up bags...

    Well done everyone thats been successful with the Magic Three Vouchers. Went to Kingston earlier, still no luck getting the glyco peel voucher. Had big sign about the glyco peel on NO. 7 counter, but could not see any of the Magic Three items on display. I know Big Muffins was lucky in Kingston last week but the day after another poster, (sorry have forgotten name) was not so lucky at that branch. There were 4 No. 7 S/A hovering about, and I did wonder if they had the items in the drawer and you had to ask then they would have offered to put it through. So even if I had the 3 vouchers would have been to nervous.

    Not much reduced could not see any Natural Collection bags had a few berry bags for £1.25 and some hair accessories and odd suntan lotions.

    Sorry have not found any great bargains to report

    Afternoon everyone. I've been on another Bootsing adventure today, this time in the MK area.
    I was itching to play with the ss tills at the Centre but they were a complete pain and nothing would go through for me which attracted the attention on at least 2 SA's. I had to go through the manned tills in the end but held it together and got :

    Time Delay serum (marked at £2.50 on clearance)
    L'Oreal trio eyeshadows £4.84
    NC Multi Bags £1.23
    La Roche Posay starter kit 0.00
    Total was £8.57 Used a pooey & a £1 acm time delay so paid £5.57 & gained another pooey. The SA didn't want to use the TD voucher but there were no exclusions on it so she manually put it through. The Posay set wouldn't go through either but I kept my nerve and they let me have it.....

    Also tried a pooey on the Bourjois mini lip gloss, SA said NO, till said YES:j so paid £1.42!! Did this once more on another till and again SA said no but till said yes:beer:

    Bletchley Retail Park had a great clearance. Loads of Nivea Trio lip glosses and Sally Hansen stuff. Also the Boots cosmetic bags that were £2.50 yesterday are now £1.25 today and were on normal shelves with old SEL's.

    Kingston Park was rubbish, big clearance stand gone and the same old same old crammed onto a smaller one near the back of the store.

    Long term lurker here! Just wanted to say a great big thankyou to everyone who posts all the glitches and offers :D I don't usually post just 'cos lots of you are such experts I don't feel I would be contributing much to the discussion :o I have been Bootsing today and got two of these washbags at £4.90 clicky - hope that works I haven't attempted to do a clicky before but the link was so long it was embarassing! I originally went to Boots in central Milton Keynes but they are still asking full price for them, so I to the local boots instead. I also have achieved using the glyco peel and freeline lift twice! I got a tinted moisturiser on my first 3 for 2 and a anti redness base cream on the second 3 for 2. Feeling very pleased with myself! Even used a pooey on some reduced L'Oreal eyeshadow so got it for aprox £2 instead of £5.
    Sorry to ramble..... Thanks again everyone :T

    Welcome back Sandra Scarlett have really missed reading your posts. Sorry you have not been well, and hope you are feeling alot better. Hope you were well enough to still go to Bournemouth and you had a great time. Love the poem, it looks like I will be doing the "Peel Free Glitch" will wait another couple of days. Hope you went for your "little drive" today and managed some Bootsing.

    Thanks everyone for all your great finds. Sorry do not post much but have never found anything great.

    Off topic, but I should've looked into this sooner: Can you use Tesco clubcard deals at restaurants on a Friday? I didn't see any exclusions so I assumed we could. We're heading out soon for an early dinner for my b-day (also leaving early because I want to stop at Boots first, and I'd rather spend money on goodies than the meal, hence clubcard vouchers, lol).
