    Loved karnam's pic! Had to do one of my own. Is it insanity/addiction or is it just impolite to not take all these sanitary towels off their hands when you're getting paid to do it?!

    I would be too embarassed to take a photo of my current haul. I have got a boot full, and my husband says every time he opens the boot, it shouts 'BODYFORM', like in the advert. I have 12 £1 bodyform vouchers, and just keep buying them and taking off the vouchers, and buying more. I have been passing them to a dear friend who needs the money and she car boots them. I reckon I must have given her a good 200 up to now, and there are probably another 100+ in the boot. I can't resist buying them, especially when they cost me nothing.

    When I tried to buy them in Superdrug the other day, the Manager insisted that as it is the pink packet in the picture, that is the only one in the voucher. I could not be bothered to argue. It was not worth the effort. I just went into Wilkinsons and bought them there instead. Boots is still the best place, as I buy 12 and 1 packet of No 7 wipes. Hand over a £5 voucher, pay 36p and get 49 points. Even better, now I have managed to find some magazines.

    karnam - you got for it girl !!! I was lucky the male SA on the pharmacy let me have quite a few in the beginning for a £2.50 spend and each time I used a 250 point voucher. Yesterday, he refused to give me a bag, so I went to other tills and they were fine about doing 2 seperate transactions with 2 bags so I did it twice !! Time now to stop as with all the bodyform (I got mine in Tescos to get the clubcard points), the EI handwash and a few TD/DR items my house is filling up rather rapidly !! Happy shopping - welsh-dragon xxx :T

    Well done welsh dragon, i have 7 purple bags, only two organisers though, a girl only needs so many (i just find hard to resist when free, may aswell have em and give away) I stocked up on the foundation i normally use and still have 6 five pound vouchers to use. I do use my vouchers but split my shopping into ten pound lots so after voucher deduction i get another one. I only have one 250 point voucher left. used the others. I will have to add 200 points from magazine when spending the rest.

    I have 4 x 250 point vouchers to use and 3 x 200 point vouchers but to be honest, it's only a bargain if it's needed. The lilac bags are nice, so I will donate some to the school raffle and give the majority of them away - it's nice to get freebies but even nicer to share !

    My other freebie at the mo, is on the 95% ribena win drink labels, my section passes them to me if they win the blackcurrant cuttings and I then send off and I am growing them for the school fair. I would have put a piccie of them on here but they look like a bunch of twigs at the mo !!! great way to raise funds for the school tho'

    does anyone know if free no7 parenting item will work, if I take item worth 15 (for instance, anti-cellulite lotion) and ask for a free lilac bag? c085.gif

    Yes but don't ask for a lilac bag, just take one and whatever you do, don't pay at the No7 counter.

    Thank you. But where will I get it? Will SA give it to me, if I won't pay anything for it?
