    SARAH-t well done on your fantastic shop in Guildford today. Sorry have not pressed Thanks button does not seem to be showing up on all pages. I went to Woking yesterday but only have the illuminating powder and line lift vouchers but after what you said about the No. 7 S/A glad I did not try anything. Did you pay for your No.7 at the normal tills in Guildford or the No. 7 counter. I hope to go to Guildford next week so maybe will be brave enough to try

    Just back from the Fort-used the magic three vouchers (thanks again you two :A) and also bought Boots Baby Sensitive Lotion which is £1.95-Total to pay 75p ;) And gained a pooey!

    No17 wipes here are £2.95-strange how that seems to vary :confused:and they had 6 (well 4 now ;)) of the Boots Expert Total Firming Body Cream for £2 on clearance which i bought with 250 points each time-so pleased! :j

    edit-loads of putting sets, purple Olay and green Olay but was shaking doing the magic 3 at the SS, so couldn't stand any more tension!

    No17 wipes were £2.95 in my local store last week, but they are 99p now, so worth keeping a check on them.

    Hi everyone, sorry Im a bit out of touch with the Boots thread but as there is a new thread thought I would try and keep up. Im going into the Drake Circus Plymouth Boots tomorrow so could someone please let me know where the Elle voucher comes from? Am I right in thinking there are vouchers for free no 7 products in the ACM at the mo? TIA

    I was there a couple of days ago and manged to find

    Amazon Scrubs, Body butters, lip balm, false eyelashes, razor blades, mr mascara gift sets these were on the normal shelves at half price. I found two clearance sections near the electrical dept with all the above and more besides.

    The no.7 vouchers are from the acm machine. Some lucky peeps have managed all three vouchers Line lift, peel and highlighter. Can't help regarding the Elle voucher.

    Hiya!
    Just posting to let you know that I cracked the big 3! No beeps or humiliation at all! In fact it couldn't have been easier!
    :dance::dance::dance:

    Hadn't been into Boots for a while as when I popped in last weekend there were no glycolic peels in stock so came out with nothing!

    Went in today and they were back in stock along with the line lift and powder so I thought I'd go for it. Store was rather empty so felt a bit self concious - No 7 SA asked if I wanted my trio put through but I politely declined as wanted to do some other shopping. I got a Bourjois glass nail file as I had 2 pooeys to spend and thought I'd try the L'Oreal eyeshadow trio as well as is reduced and I have read positive comments about it here. I haven't worn eyeshadow for about 12 years so it will be interesting!! :rotfl:

    Anyhoo to cut a long story short(ish):p, went to SS till even though there wasn't a queue at the other tills and proceeded to scan my items.
    Bought:
    No 7 line lift
    No 7 illuminating powder
    No 7 Glycolic Peel
    Bourjois Glass nail file
    Bottle Carreg water small
    2 packs Fruit Flakes (Bribe for DDs)

    Pressed finish and pay and then coupon and scanned the ACM vouchers in the following order: line lift, powder, peel & pooey The total kept going down and NO beeping! Final total to pay £1.09!!! :j

    Paid and went to scarper when I remebered the eyeshadow trio sitting in basket! Started to put it through & stopped in my tracks when it came up as £6 ** Eek! _pale_
    SA came over and I queried it so she went off to check. In the meantime the SS till kept reciting 'put item in bag' etc and ANOTHER SA came over to see what was happening! Explained that the price was not what I was expecting and the first SA was checking when he did something on the till and it went to another screen showing the reduced price! Duh! Anyway first SA had now come back and I pressed finish and pay. Of course I was well and truly flustered and :doh: promptly forgot to scan my 2nd pooey! Paid and then realised! The second SA noticed my glum look and I explained I had forgotten my coupon so he very kindly took me over to till bank, refunded my money and put it through again, scanning pooey this time!! :T Big hand for all the lovey Boots SAs :T

    I have some more line lift and peel vouchers but don't have any more powder vouchers (only got 2!) and don't know whether to stock up with more while on 3 for 2 and get something else, pay :eek: hard cash or not bother! Thing is I now have all the No 7 things I would use (foundation, lip lacquers, nail polish, hand cream) so don't know what else to get that would be good value :confused: Any tips please?
    I think I will have to try the products and see if I like them enough to hand over some money! :p

    Sorry for long post (I like to chat!:D) Was too nervous to look for any other bargains so exited rapidly! Sorry!
    HTH

    So if i brought;

    no7 peel
    no7 line lift
    no7 highlighter
    && used the vouchers i would all be free?? x

    I would buy something else as a filler as if you just buy these the till ends up owing you money! :eek:
    So get a meal deal or some thing around the £2 or £3 mark or something you would buy anyway! Just be careful is not something that is part of the 3 for 2 offers as this may throw a spanner in the works and come up as the free item!

    Also you must use your vouchers in order: line lift voucher, powder voucher and then peel voucher LAST! The order of the first two vouchers is not critical but the peel voucher must be last as otherwise the value goes down to £8.80 and you can't use the lift voucher as that is free with over £15 spend.

    HTH
    Good Luck! I was a bit nervous after my humiliating powder experience last time and having read about the lift voucher beeping for others recently but it seems to have been fixed now! :beer:

    :hello:
    Quick Hi to newbies to Boots forum and hope SS is feeling better - we have missed your lovely posts!
    (sorry reading backwards and not quite caught up)
    And Happy Easter to everyone! Just realised can legitimately use the Easter smilies! (I love em!)

    Well done Bigmuffins what a great shop you had. I am still trying to get a peel voucher and will make a note from your post. I have got a feeling I will not be lucky with getting the voucher. But will be patient and keep trying all the ATM's. I do not want to use the other 2 yet, as have a feeling if I do, then the ATM will issue me a peel voucher. So patience

    Sorry to snip so much

    Did the ACMs give you 2 powder vouchers, or were they from 2 different cards? I've had 2 sets of lift and peel vouchers from my card, but only one powder voucher so far. Unfortunately I had used the powder voucher about a week before I received any of the others. I was just wondering whether it was worth holding out to see if I get another powder voucher, or whether that's definitely my lot?
